Celebrating International Book Giving Day

February 15, 2016 Claire Annette Noland 4 Comments

Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday and it has gotten even better because it is also International Book Giving Day. I can’t think of a better way for a book lover to celebrate than by giving books.

The right word at the right time – encouragement

  Did you know that there is a National Day of Encouragement? Well, why not? There seems to be a holiday for everything. Words have power. The right word at the right time can help a person to continue a task, overcome an obstacle, or find the courage to try something new. On the other […]
