List three books that have had an impact on you. Why?

The top three books that have impacted my life and meant something to me are 1) Charlottes Web 2) The Four Agreements and 3) Women and The Blues: Passions that Hurt Passions that Heal.

As a child I loved Charlottes Web and living on a farm in northeast Pennsylvania, I could relate to farm animals. I loved the story and the talking animals and reading about the life cycle.

Later on as an adult woman I enjoyed reading Woman and The Blues. It was a self-help book that gave me the courage to persevere and keep going when things didn’t work out like I believed they would for me.

Last of the three and certainly not least was The Four Agreements. It’s a small book that cost around $10 and I have gifted it to dozens of my friends and acquaintances. The one agreement that literally changed how I viewed all my relationships was, “nothing other people do is because of you, it is because of themselves.” This quote alone changed me. I no longer accepted others actions and words personally. What they did and what they said was all theirs and not mine.

I love reading and I love many books but the three listed above certainly had a huge impact on me.

Happy reading!
