{inspiration workshop} inspiring books

books are an escape, they take us far away. books are a vehicle to detour from our current reality. books are like good friends, they invite you in, make you a cup of hot coffee, and put their arms around you when you really really need a hug. books are the break we need from the hustle and bustle. books help us reconnect with our authentic selves. books take our hand and coax us to delve back into our happiest childhood moments; where the world was free, laughter was the best medicine, and birds chirped in a sing song way just for you and you only. books force us to slow down, take a breath, soak up the perfection that is everywhere around us. books inspire us, delight us, entertain us, make us, and break us.


i heart books. don't you?
