Happy New Year!
Workbooks, cookbooks, memoirs, research books, clinical books and even a “kid’s” book grabbed my heart in 2013. Not all of them were released last year but the following 10 books brought me joy, inspiration, encouragement, conviction and evidenced-based information which helped me in all aspects of my life:
- A Life Less Ordinary, Alex Legendre and Zoe Ellison

- Freeway: A Not-So-Perfect Guide to Freedom, Mike Foster
