Resource List
I like to read - a lot! You’ll find an assortment of book/quote references in my blog posts and I thought I’d put together a resource page with all of the recommended reads and products that I’ve made on this website.
There’s no pressure or expectation - I’m just always looking for new titles or ideas and thought I’d share this. If you have any recommendations for me please drop me a note by clicking on “Connect with me”.
