Letters to a Young Athlete by Chris Bosh
Letters to a Young Athlete by Chris Bosh I thought it was a great book to add to any high school library. A good read filled with advice to encourage young people either in sports or not to encourage young people to be successful. Enjoy.

The Nature Fix by Florence Williams
I love this book. The audio book is fantastic. I have a house in the woods and I enjoy meditating and watching birds and butterflies and being a part of the forest. With students and adults on screen time, it's just time to go to a park or somewhere in nature and be a part of nature. Enjoy.

The Power of Your Subconscious Mind Dr. Joseph Murphy
I listened to the audio book. As I went through the book, I related it to people who I know who are negative and blame others for their own woes. This book talks about how to turn thing around. How to make your life better. It has a little bit of this and a little bit of that. LOA and the Bible are all backing up what the author has to say.
