Swell Invites You to #DEAR: Drop Everything And Read š
Not in your phone or computer, but an actual physical. Book, newspaper, magazine, anything that's not on a screen. Take as much time as you want in need. Then come back and let us know what you learned. We're what resonated with you, what moved to you. Share a line that you thought was beautiful or funny or anything else. Make sure to use hashtag deer in your Swells description so we can find you and share along in the joy of reading
You cannot read, you cannot write unless you do a lot of reading. Chand I wish I could do it full time. I wish I could be a full time writer, writing stories for publications, writing stories or features for publications. I wish I could just do the whole life. Have a blog, have a podcast, have a YouTube channel, have a newsletter, just live the writer's life

So I do two to three pages because of such rich content in comparison to a fiction novel that is more imaginative. And all of those fun things, I can read through those, I can get lost in those in comparison to nonfiction material, which and trust me, I'm not saying nonfiction material is boring, it's just different. Back to deer. Yes, so we had deer in elementary school

Hi. I have a question. So, do you feel that you retain more information when you read three pages versus, say, like, maybe a whole chapter or maybe, like, ten pages?

And because of where I'm at in life as a human and a woman in business, I'm just in the space where I really want to make sure I comprehend and understand the material more than just for that moment. Have you ever read something quickly, and yes, you understood it? Yes, you comprehend it, and sometimes you're not able to recall it, or you realize it didn't really resonate with you because you didn't massage it the way it needed to be mentally massaged

Hey, Flora. I just want to thank you for this new acronym and how lucky your son is to have a mom that has such a great attitude and ability to spread your enthusiasm and love. About reading. And I'll never forget Baronhow. It's wonderful. Appreciate It
What you see in the image here is the book that I have written and I don't want to miss an opportunity to celebrate the book I launched last year and my own writing and to celebrate myself as an author as well. So lots of love to everybody, lots of blessings your way. Keep reading, keep shining, keep learning and keep teaching. Stay blessed, stay grateful, stay connected
