Books Change Lives If you are in a local service club, one of my Facebook friends, a per- sonal friend, or if I have your email, you undoubtedly know about my ‘Books Change Lives’ campaign. This month I am donating my per- sonal collection of books to the PATH Sale House, a women’s and children’s housing program for women who want to change their lives. I have been meeting with as many people as possible to ask them to reach into their personal collection of books, choose one that is meaningful and changed their life. Simply write a note of encour- agement inside the cover and give it to me to share with women who want so desperately to change. The thing about change is that the seed is always there. No matter who you are, there are things in your life you want to change. The key isn’t knowing what you want to change, the key is finding out how to make the change. Books can help. Any time of day or night, any season and any way you approach them, they are there. They do not judge, condemn or mock you. They simply open themselves to you and share their message and allow you the opportunity to soak in their wis- dom. Your secrets are safe with them. The thoughts you think and the life you revisit in your head is between you and the book. The courage to heal is in the moment you crack the cover and see what is inside. As an author, one of my most sincere desires is to share information with oth- ers who may benefit from a new perspective, but here is the ultimate truth; I write to show others they are not alone. When I was a child just miles outside the city lim- its, living a life that was far less than ideal, I felt alone. The solitude kept me in my shame and my situation longer than necessary. I thought that no one else could understand what I was living and therefore, I had no clue what to do about it. Faydra Rector As a child, I turned to books to escape my reality. A reality that was relative to what I knew through the eyes of a child. Through books, I learned social skills, I learned how to hope and believe that I could have a different life. As an adult, I turned to books to change my reality. I used books to heal that child who was too ashamed and proud to talk to others. My solitude became self-induced because I thought no one would want to relate to me. A little older, a little wiser and a litter bolder, I write to reach out to You Matter others and tell them to have no fear, shame or bitterness. Even today I read to teach myself the same thing. There is nothing you can’t learn from a book. The women at Sale House want change. They feel a lot of the same things I felt and still sometimes do. I want to change that. You can too. You have wis- dom you need to share. You have compassion you need to reveal. You have hope you need to show. Reach into your library and give hope to someone who wants to know you care. You may never meet her face to face, but you will know that you gave someone an opportunity to change. You can donate your books at the local Fam- ily Resource Centers in Red Bluff, Los Molinos and Corning.
