Untied sneakers

I thought you might like to get to know me a little bit better, especially if you want to trust my opinions and recommendations about books. I am the kind of person who rarely ties my shoes. I don't know how you'll interpret that, but I feel like that should give you some kind of deep insight into who I am.
Thankfully, I'm learning not to worry so much about what you (or anyone else) thinks of me because I know that I am loved and accepted by My Father in Heaven.
I am a Christ-follower, a wife and mother of three, a pediatric COTA/L, a fiction-lover, netflix binge-watcher, dance like nobody's watching kind of gal.
My favorite books are usually deep reads that make me think, or challenge me in some way. They might deal with a difficult subject like abuse or feature a character with a strength I want to emulate or a struggle with which I can relate.
Character development is of the utmost importance to me. My favorite shows on TV are character driven, even more so than story driven - think, West Wing.
I think my favorite word in the world is "hope." I'm not sure how one survives in this world without hope, and I am so very thankful for the hope we have in Jesus.
What's your favorite word and why?
