Saturday Shelfie

  📚 #SaturdayShelfie: Book 23 – The Messy Middle by Scott Belsky I first heard about this book while listening to a podcast, and I have to admit—it couldn’t have come at a better time. We’re smack in the middle of the year—according to the Gregorian calendar.A point where many of us are quietly looking back at the past six months wondering what worked, what didn’t, and…

📚 #SaturdayShelfie: Book 22 – The Diary of a CEO by Steven Bartlett I know it’s a popular title, and you’ve probably seen it on shelves, in reels, or on someone’s desk. But this time, it’s not just another trending read. It’s the right book for this moment. There are seasons when we need deep reflection, not just about what we’re doing—but why we’re doing it, how we’re showing…

📚 #SaturdayShelfie: Book 21 – The Light We Carry by Michelle Obama After writing today’s #StorySaturday post about how one act of obedience turned into a life-changing connection, I knew exactly which book needed to be this week’s recommendation. The Light We Carry by Michelle Obama is a gentle but powerful reminder that sometimes, what we think is just an ordinary moment—a…

📚 #SaturdayShelfie: Book 20 – 𝑳𝒆𝒕 𝑮𝒐 𝒐𝒇 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝑯𝒐𝒍𝒅𝒔 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑩𝒂𝒄𝒌 by John Mason There are moments in life where fear creeps in, and sometimes this fear is baseless… sometimes it’s just fear of the unknown. Then come the whispers of self-doubt, and the moments when you stop believing in yourself, in your abilities, in what you bring to the table. And as if that’s not enough,…

📚 #SaturdayShelfie: Book 19 – 𝑷𝒖𝒕 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑫𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑻𝒆𝒔𝒕 by John C. Maxwell After writing today’s #StorySaturday post, I couldn’t help but think of this book as my next recommendation. When I look back at how this whole blogging journey began—with nothing but a story about a traffic jam and the courage to hit “publish”—I realize that was me, unknowingly, putting my dream to…

📚 #SaturdayShelfie: Book 18 – 𝑺𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑾𝒊𝒏, 𝑺𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑳𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏 by John C. Maxwell Last Saturday, I didn’t post a #Shelfie.Not because I didn’t want to, but because life happened—circumstances beyond my control. And honestly? That’s exactly why this week’s recommendation makes so much sense. 𝑺𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑾𝒊𝒏, 𝑺𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑳𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏 by John C. Maxwell is one of those books…

📚 #SaturdayShelfie: Book 17 – Start with Why by Simon Sinek So… remember the #StorySaturday series I launched today? As I shared the story of how I got my first job, it made me pause and reflect, not just on what happened, but on why it mattered so much. Looking back I admit I didn’t know much then, but I knew I had one why; to find money to take myself to college. That was my…

📚 #SaturdayShelfie: Book 16 – The Power of One More by Ed Mylett Last Saturday, Easter took over and I forgot to post a book—my apologies!But here we are, back at it again, and today’s recommendation couldn’t be more fitting. This week, I’m recommending The Power of One More by Ed Mylett. Because sometimes, success, healing, breakthrough—it’s all just one more away.➡️ One more…

📚#SaturdayShelfie: Book No. 15 – Goals! by Brian Tracy Meeting my goal and finally seeing a 13-year dream come true could’ve easily made me relax, settle, stagnate—and probably even feel a little lost. But thanks to something I learned a while back, I knew better. So I checked this one off… and now I’ve moved on to the next. That's how much having other goals lined up is…

📚 #SaturdayShelfie: Book 14 – Beyond Talent by John C. Maxwell I had such a crazy day—playing in the mud and rain (true story!)—that I completely forgot today was #ShelfieDay. But here we are, better late than never! This week’s book recommendation is once again inspired by the recent breakthrough I had with @nurturenest.hub. If there’s one powerful lesson I’ve learned through…

📚#SaturdayShelfie: Book 13 – Shoe Dog by Phil Knight Yesterday, I shared a dream that has taken 13 to happen. It came with years of silence, setbacks, and doubt—but I kept the dream alive, kept preparing, and when the opportunity finally came, it all made sense. That’s why today’s book is so personal. I’ve read Shoe Dog many times before, but after witnessing my own long-…

📚#SaturdayShelfie: Book 12 – The Top Five Regrets of the Dying by Bronnie Ware In the past few weeks, I’ve caught myself reflecting on some of the decisions I’ve made throughout my adult life—choices I wish I could undo, paths I wish I had taken, words I wish I had spoken… or kept to myself. And in those quiet moments, I found myself wishing for something we never truly get—…

📚 #SaturdayShelfie: Book 11 – Master Your Emotions by Thibaut Meurisse Today, something happened that made me realize just how important this book is. Many people have lost their destinies simply because they never learned how to master their emotions. They’ve lost opportunities, relationships, and even their sense of self—all because they lacked self-control and, most…

📚 #SaturdayShelfie (on a Sunday!): Book 10 – The Emotionally Exhausted Woman by Nancy Colier First, let me start with an apology—I know I was supposed to post this yesterday, but I wasn’t feeling well. For the past few weeks, I’ve been unwell, and after a change of meds on Friday, let’s just say I’ve been sleeping like a well-fed cat in the sun. That said, I couldn’t have…

📚 #SaturdayShelfie: Book 9 – Don’t Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table by Louie Giglio If you know me well, then you know I love books for days. So when I received this one as a gift a few days ago, I was elated! Then I flipped to the back cover, read the description, and boy, isn’t it timely! We all have that one uninvited guest—negative thoughts, self-doubt, fear,…
