Writing is the most essential form of sharing with others. Reading grows our capacity to understand other people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Think back to your childhood.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Did you enjoy reading for fun? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What was a book that you read for enjoyment? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Was there a character who you identified with? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What were some movies that you enjoyed? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How did those stories shape your childhood?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sharing stories connects us to the ideas of those who have learned things the hard way. They are lessons to be shared and pain experienced. I can travel to new places, see imagined landscapes, and experience a different culture from the first-person perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here are some articles for your pursuit of reading:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.embracinghome.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/s-o-c-i-a-l-c-u-t-GoFeJMsxAVM-unsplash-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2342\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.embracinghome.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/s-o-c-i-a-l-c-u-t-GoFeJMsxAVM-unsplash.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.embracinghome.blog\/?attachment_id=2342\" class=\"wp-image-2342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.embracinghome.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/s-o-c-i-a-l-c-u-t-GoFeJMsxAVM-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.embracinghome.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/s-o-c-i-a-l-c-u-t-GoFeJMsxAVM-unsplash.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.embracinghome.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/florencia-viadana-1J8k0qqUfYY-unsplash-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2328\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.embracinghome.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/florencia-viadana-1J8k0qqUfYY-unsplash.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.embracinghome.blog\/?attachment_id=2328\" class=\"wp-image-2328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.embracinghome.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/florencia-viadana-1J8k0qqUfYY-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.embracinghome.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/florencia-viadana-1J8k0qqUfYY-unsplash.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Article#1:  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embracinghome.blog\/index.php\/2021\/06\/03\/how-to-revive-your-love-of-reading-this-summer\/\">How to Revive Your Love of Reading this Summer<\/a> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">      Summer Reading for Moms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outline:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Isn&#8217;t reading old-fashioned?<\/li><li>Where I get stuck.<\/li><li>Questions for You<\/li><li>Let&#8217;s Talk about Audiobooks!<ul><li>Ways to include Audiobooks into your week.<\/li><li>Questions for you<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Encouragement for the Mom who wants more reading time.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.embracinghome.blog\/index.php\/2021\/06\/03\/how-to-revive-your-love-of-reading-this-summer\">Here is the link to read more<\/a>.)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>Reading time will require training and patience. <\/p><p>Reading is a skill that must be practiced and learned. <\/p><p>For adults and kids alike.
