31 Letters – Letter #24

"Reading is fundamental" 


I’ve come to the conclusion that no one really wants to read stories with happy endings or positive messages.  In today’s world, the more drama, the better!  I promised myself that when I got up the nerve to actually write and share my thoughts with others I would change the game bringing everyone back to the fairy tales, happy endings, and inspirational messages. 

In order for me to really do this, I mean really write positive messages, I have to be sure that not only are you reading, but you’re sharing these messages with others.  So, before I go any further with this story filled with inspiration, love, and happy endings I want you to stop what you’re doing and take this vow with me.

I, (state your name), do solemnly swear to take a night off from keeping up with the housewives, hip hop girlfriends, and basketball jump-offs, to  take part in an age old ritual called…reading. Yes, I (state your name), feel that reading is fundamental.  I will take a break from updating my status on Facebook and Twitter.  I will put down my phone and stop taking bathroom pics of myself and read this very enlightening and moving message about Life. I promise to share my takeaways with others.  I promise to dig deeper into my personal creativity in an effort to tap into the gifts that were promised to me by God. 

To be continued....
