I love words.
Words are powerful. I became addicted to reading at a young age. Books saved me in my teen years more than any other time in my life. I have passed on my joy of books to many, including my children.
I received the name ‘The Book Hippie’ from a little girl who gave me a few weeds as a present when she “caught” me filling a Little Free Library one day. “You’re the Book Hippie that fills the library, and I caught you!!! ” “Here’s some flowers, they’re really weeds, but you can pretend they are flowers.”
The name stuck. I am constantly reading, rescuing and donating books. I volunteer full-time and a lot of my time is spent reading with kids and mentoring teens. Come along on my journey and see what I am reading, where my books are going and what it’s like to be a full-time volunteer and mentor through a love of books. Reading is essential. Books are the life blood of that. Peace.
