I love to read for many reasons:

  • Learn about new cultures
  • Stress Relief
  • encourages self-reflection
  • Empowering
  • Brings out creativity
  • Provides you with new perspectives
  • Entertaining


Travel

I belong to an organization whereby every year, I travel to a different state for Conventions. I love it. I get to learn more about my organization. I get involved in the workshops that are held. Meet new people and old friends that I have not seen in a year. Also, bringing back information to my local court. 


For the pass three years, my family and I have taken a break from it all.  Traveling to an area that is somewhat isolated, where you can relax and enjoy the company of family. As I said for reading it provides us with new perspectives.
