📚 #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 the test.

📚 #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.

📚 #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 fuel.

And now that I think about it, I realized that I’ve always had these WHYs guiding me quietly from one season to the next.

📚 #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.

📚#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 important so that when you finish one you move on right onto the next one.

And that’s exactly what this week’s recommendation teaches.

📚 #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 this journey, it’s this:
Sometimes delays happen because you’re not yet ready to handle the blessing.

📚#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.

📚#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—another lifetime, a chance to do it all over again.

Hence today's recommendation. I recommend it because sometimes, we need gentle reminders of what truly matters.
