Simply put, I love books, physical books. I own so many--many of which I have not read (yet). I just need to have them . On shelves. In piles. In random conference tote bags. Paper magazines and newspapers too. Some call it clutter. I call it cozy. It's comforting to know I am surrounded by pages of stories. And, thus, by storytellers. Donna Talarico
About This Quote

I love books, physical books. I own so many--many of which I have not read (yet). I just need to have them . On shelves.

In piles. In random conference tote bags. Paper magazines and newspapers too.

Some call it clutter. I call it cozy. It's comforting to know I am surrounded by pages of stories.

And, thus, by storytellers.I love the stories shared by friends and family and colleagues and strangers...stories that make me laugh and cry and think and reflect and remember and imagine and dream...stories that make me stronger and wiser and more hopeful and more loving...stories that make me wiser because of the lessons they teach me...stories that make me stronger because they help me become who I am meant to be...stories that make me feel alive because they remind me of the possibilities in the world...
