The blog post that changed my life
In March 2015, I wrote a post that changed my life. It was called "Some favorite books" and you can read it here: https://www.carmaspence.com/some-favo...
I thought I'd share it because today is #NationalBookLoversDay. I would love it if you'd share some of your favorite books with me, as well!
Anyway, how did that simple post change my life? Well, it was inspired by Christopher, who was then a guy in my Toastmaster's club I thought was kind of cute (OK, I was a bit more into him than that). So I wrote the post and then sent him a simple email message letting him know that he had inspired it.
That email inspired him to ask me out. Six years later we've been happily married for almost five years!
This is the power of books, the power of words, and the power of email all wrapped up into one story. We all have stories like this that have changed our lives. The trick is taking notice so that we can tell those stories later and continue the inspiration. Are you paying attention to the everyday stories in your life?
