Read30Write10 is a year long project I am starting to put my words into action. It is creating a space for everyone who wants to experience or is already experiencing the benefits of daily reading and writing. Therefore, each person chooses if they want to challenge themselves to read 30 minutes a day, journal 10 minutes a day, or both. Happy to have some support on the sidelines, too, for those who would rather pass this time!

• SUPER STRONG ALREADY? Tag along to help us stay encouraged. Be a model and mentor for the Read30Write10 community. :)

• NOT AS STRONG IN THESE? My encouragement to you is that if even a math person who has ="hated"= reading since I can remember, is willing to try to make this a habit, it seems reachable! All it takes it to want it and practice it; failing is okay, but every day we get a chance to start over.

• IS THERE A PRIZE? As of right now, it is self-given if accomplished. Decide what you'd give yourself for attempting/completing the challenge. All the benefit is for you and those around you. =} Got other ideas? Feel free to share.
