My entire life, I’ve been a very driven person. My unwavering motivation is what led me to build a successful photography business and grow the House Fur blog so quickly.
But even though I’m driven and passionate, I still have a lot of fears. I still doubt myself or get caught up in my head. I get nervous about posting new things that go farther out there.
I’ve taken so many online classes and love them. But, nothing has helped and/or influenced me more this year than the books; Everything Is Figureoutable by Marie Forleo & Heavier Than Heaven: Kurt Cobain Biography by Charles R. Cross.
These books taught me how to face and embrace my fears. They completely changed the way that I think about fear. Fear shouldn’t mean that it’s time to stop or to hold myself back. In fact, fear means that I should get up & go because it’s just my brain feeling uncomfortable with change or a challenge!
There’s something magical that happens when you change your reality thanks to the power of a physical book. I often read pages or even entire chapters over and over again before moving onward. I want to absorb everything that I can!
Even though physical books are “going out of styleâ€, I know that there are fellow book lovers out there!
To get that book lover in your life the perfect gift, I wrote a special gift guide just for us book worms.
1) Tequila Mockingbird: Cocktails with a Literary Twist
Clever cocktails are so fun to make & this book would makes a great conversation starter!
2) 5-Shelf Wood Ladder Bookcase with Metal Frame
Everyone needs a tidy and aesthetically please way to store and display their book collection. Design Tip: I like organizing out books by color.
3) Solid Wood Book Shaped Coasters
Aren’t these just the cutest?
List to your audible books in style!
I have so many friends that would love this – both book worms and foodies (like my husband, Caleb)
Comfortable and compact, the Auburn Chair is high style for a relatively low price. Its streamlined frame has removable legs for easy assembly, making it easy to move to wherever you want to read!
This modest light is a perfect reading light that won’t disturb others! And, you can purchase a travel case as well!
8) Colossal Handknit Throw Blanket
If you’re like me you love a good blanket to snuggle up on the couch with! Pottery Barn’s chunky yarn makes a statement throw that’s extra stylish and extra cozy, yet surprisingly light and soft! I also am a huge fan off these faux alpaca throws because they come in neutral earth tones.
These Agate Bookends are dyed and polished to reveal naturally occurring patterned rings. I love that each piece is one of a kind. I have blue agate coasters and I LOVE them!
