Reads That Touched Me — February Edition
Sharing stories that touched some part of my soul.
“Words make you think a thought. Music makes you feel a feeling. A song makes you feel a thought.”
— E. Y. Harburg
This month ‘self-care’ must have been the most used word. If not, then it should as the month of love is about all kinds of love. But what I also love is the love we share with one another through words. A group of words attached to form a story that touches you in ways you couldn’t even imagine.
Like you read one story before bed and wake up feeling energised. Or that story made you feel less lonely. Or when you read one story and felt ‘oh my goodness, the author read my mind’. That’s the beauty of words.
So, let’s get straight to this month’s stories that moved me. Isolate yourself with your preferred beverage and tuck into comfy clothes. Because its time to dive into stories that are worth your time, and you deserve to disconnect and feel inspired. And to me that is another form of self-care. Don’t you think?
