One of the reasons Quotes are so popular on all the Social Media channels including Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest is because one or two short sentences can change your day.
Rather than compiling a book of quotes from other people, Troy Gathers created his own “stop and think” quotes. One for each day of the year.
I chatted with Troy Gathers to find out more about his book Take Me With You.

Melanie Rockett: How did you come to write Take Me With You
Troy Gathers: Over the past 8-10 years of business I have encountered great success, turn of events and revelations. In this time frame I gained insight on three specific areas; Friends, Family and Faith. From my experiences I have gathered a keen understanding on these three crucial areas, which I decided to write this book. The purpose of Take Me With You is to be thought provoking and challenging to the reader, this is my sole reasoning.
