So Proud

I am so proud of all the Joberts kids who have been writing regularly every night, developing their wriring habits. Writing is really about discipline and hard work, the ability to dedicate time to share stories and ideas. When we share our stories and ideas, we impact the people who read our writing in important ways. Writing is power.

I am also impressed by all the people who have been using Goodreads on a regular basis. Goodreads helps us cultivate, or grow, our reading habits. When we take time each day to read and share our thoughts about whatr we read, we are truly taking our reading lives to the next level. As a community of readers, we give each other ideas and ultimately imprive the qulaity of our lives and other peoples' lives.

When we use our writing and reading habits to help make our world and the world of others better, then we are really doing something important. That's what we've always been about on the Joberts Team, doing things that are important that make a difference in the lives of others.

Here's to more writing and reading in 2015. As we always say on the Joberts Team,. reading is thinking and writing is power!
