JANUARY READER OF THE MONTH– Emma Doty Reading has always been one of my favorite hobbies to pass free time. I enjoy reading any type of book that has to do with suspense, love, and hardships. Some days when it is cold outside and there is nothing to do, staying home and reading a book is a very comforting and enlightening thing to do. My favorite book that I have read is Three Little Words by Ashley Rhodes-Courter. It is a very eyeopening and heartfelt story. I strongly recommend this book!

I always try to look deep within myself and find at least one positive change that I can work on during the year. I encourage you to take stock of yourself and try to be an agent of change primarily for yourself, but secondarily for those around you.
