My personal views on literature, books, spirtuality, education and life! Sort of an online, in depth personal journal if you will...

My summer reading list-

This is my summer reading list -so far, smile.

"Finding Your Own North Star: Claiming the Life You Were Meant to Live" by Martha Beck ISBN – 0812932188
This is one of the best books that I’ve read in years; the author is funny and shares personal stories while relating how you can find your own north star or as I like to think of it- following your own heart.

"Women Who Run With the Wolves" by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes ISBN – 0345377443
* There are other great titles by this author!!!
This book changes my life! You can read this from start to finish or skip around from story to story. These are fairy tales for grown-ups and I highly recommend the story about “Skeleton Woman”.


" Wild At Heart" by John Eldredge ISBN – 0785264981
* There are other great titles by this author!!!

If you ever wanted to know what a man is made of this is the book for you, very powerful reading for a woman. This author has a book like this one- for women! I haven’t read that one yet though, this book is what I’m reading now.


"The Prayer of Jabez" by Bruce Wilkinson ISBN - 1576738426 First in a series-

"Secrets of the Vine" by Bruce Wilkinson ISBN - 1576739724 Second in a series-


"A Life God Rewards" by Bruce Wilkinson ISBN - 1590520092 Third in the series-

* There are other great titles by this author, but I haven’t read them yet! I have read all three of these books and they’re very, very good.


"Tantra Between the Sheets" by Val Sampson ISBN - 1569753520
This book is the one that talks about breathing. Anything to do with yoga, kundalini energy or Pilates is something that is worth reading about. Pilates is just basic yoga without the spirituality, but tantra, kundalini and yoga generally address spirituality and the connections between the mind and the body. Mind you I’m just a beginner with this breathing stuff so I’ve been reading this book slowly and practicing what I’ve read (about breathing!).


"The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz ISBN – 1878424319


"The Traveler’s Gift" by Andy Andrews ISBN – 0785264280
This is a nice family book and a great story with interesting principles, I enjoyed it tremendously.


"Simple Abundance" and "Something More" by Sarah Ban Breathnach ISBN – 0446677086 I haven’t read both of these books but I have read most of "Simple Abundance" and I’ve used some of her principles and ideas for my cooking ideas.
