Books, for me, used to be a way to escape. I now consider reading a good book a sacred indulgence, a chance to be any place I choose. It is my absolute favorite way to spend time. What I know for sure is that reading opens you up. It exposes you and gives you access to anything your mind can hold. What I love most about reading: It gives you the ability to reach higher ground. And keep climbing.
Oprah Winfrey (What I Know For Sure)
I just love this. It feels like someone has put my thoughts on paper.
Books are so magnetically attractive and you can just be busy with your books all the time.
Great quote by Oprah. Reading a good book is definitely an indulgence.
Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts.
I completely agree! Couldn’t say it better 😉
I am glad you liked it.
She’s spot on! I love Oprah! And I love reading!
This is a beautiful reflection—quiet, intimate, and deeply affirming. It captures the way reading evolves from escape into something almost sacred: a deliberate choosing of wonder, growth, and inner expansion. I love how you echo Oprah’s words with your own truth, especially the idea of “reaching higher ground and keeping climbing.” That sense of books as both refuge and ladder feels so honest. Your closing thought about their magnetic pull says it all—once reading becomes part of who you are, it’s not just a pastime, it’s a way of living and becoming. 📚✨
