Melodies Book Club

If you were to look at my past, I had many cards stacked against me.

My Mother and Father divorced when I was young. My Mother fought tooth and nail to keep a roof over our heads. We used food banks and I often wondered if I would have a home the next day as I laid down to sleep. My Mother faced several instances of cancer and preserved. My Father took his own life was I was 15. This took me on an interesting path and I ended up homeless on and off for 6 months in my early twenties. 

I do not share this to get sympathy. 

My life now is one of joy, abundance and wonderful relationships. 

I share this because it is the books below that helped me get here. Without them,
I do not know what would have become of me. 

I believe in the power of education but not in the traditional sense of higher education.

I believe in the power of being a life long learner that invests in themselves. This is a combination of self- awareness and seeking out knowledge.

Below I have organized the books that have made an impact on me. I’ve never regretted reading a book but I have certainly thought some books could have been PDFs. 

I’ve organized them in order of impact in each section. In many sections this was an incredibly challenging. I have kept it to my 6 top books for each section. As new books are published and I discover new books, I will update this list.
