Girlfriends, episode number 377, five books that changed my life.

Hello and welcome to girlfriends. I'm Danielle Bean. I'm a wife and a mom and I'm on a mission

to help you know your worth as a woman so you can find peace, balance, and joy and family living.

This week, you might be looking ahead to the summer looking for some good books to read. So I thought we'd take up this topic, five books that

changed my life. Let's get going.

Hey, girlfriend. How are you so good to connect with you here on the podcast? You might not have noticed, but I've been away because I pre-recorded some of the episodes before I went on a family vacation over the last 10 days. And now I feel like I've been away from you. So it's awfully nice to connect again. And isn't that the

nice thing about vacations? Like as much as you can love going on vacation and love where you go and all

the experiences you have, it feels so good to come home and it feels so good to kind of step back

into routines. I know we talk about this a lot. Like after holidays, it's like, I just want

ordinary time. Thank you very much. And that's what I'm

enjoying today. It's getting back into ordinary time, getting caught up on some tasks and connecting

with you is on my list. So I'm so thrilled to be here to connect with you here today. And yeah,

side note, we did have a great vacation. We went out to Yellowstone for the first time ever.

Epic family trip. First time ever like traveling with grandkids. And

wow, I am not imagining that we're going to be able to keep on having family vacations like that.

Just because as families grow and change, it becomes more and more difficult just logistically to

even even just find a space for you all,

you know, like looking up Airbnb and I keep clicking that number like, no, no, 12 adults.

Okay.

Keep clicking.

Keep clicking.

And, you know, everything is just exponential at that point.
