The Best Reading Material At This Time

While there is never enough time to read, I make time in snatches, a couple of minutes here, a few hours there, sometimes in the bathroom while drinking my morning coffee and sitting on the edge of the bathtub, and sometimes on the back deck of my house overlooking half an acre of woods, where the deer are eating the green shrubs and vegetation and the birds are singing.

Let me tell you a few of the latest treasures I have found from the book clubs. EAT, PRAY, LOVE, by Elizabeth Gilbert provides a woman's spiritual journey around the world while she prepares for the next chapter of her life.

SAGE'ING WHILE AGE'ING by Shirley MacLaine is another valuable text to read from a wonderful actress who has survived Hollywood, Broadway, Las Vegas, and everything in between. It has much metaphysical information included as food for thought.

HAPPY FOR NO REASON by Marci Shimoff seems to put into words the very reasons why I spend most of my waking hours acting like a cheerful Pollyanna, rather than a woebegone, sad, depressed, unfortunate victim of circumstances, whose life could have ended long ago, had I not simply refused to just give up and die.

Next, AWAKENING THE HEROES WITHIN by Carol S. Pearson is a masterpiece of information covering all the different personality types that inhabit each individual. For each person who reads this volume, there is a questionnaire they take which determines their high scores and low scores for the different personalities. Just briefly, my own personal 3 highest scores were Creator, Sage, and Seeker, and my 3 lowest scores were Innocent, Caregiver, and Destroyer. For anyone who reads the book and answers the questionnaire, you will see the reasons for your low scores and high scores. The other 6 personality types you will be scoring on will include Orphan, Warrior (I tied on those), Lover, Ruler, Magician and Fool. For anyone trying to psychoanalyze oneself and find the motives behind why you do what you do, I highly recommend AWAKENING THE HEROES WITHIN.

Last but not least, I cannot say enough about OPRAH magazine. She has some very good writers helping to publish this magazine, and I read a LOT of magazines. Nothing compares to OPRAH. The next one to recommend is MORE, for women over 40. Please take time to read. It will give your mind something to think about when you are having a quiet moment. And just one more thing. For ESCAPE, let me suggest a Harlequin Romance of some description. Sometimes we need just a little romance in our lives, and if you can read it in a book, it will sometimes be just what you need to remember what romance was really supposed to be all about. Harlequin Blaze is one category (with the Red Cover) which is the most erotic, and provides a nice escape for just a short time, before we have to go back to work and face the world, and get our jobs done in a world that many times does not have anything going on except for business as usual. -- So for all the readers of this blog, I wish you Health, Wealth, and the Time to Enjoy IT!! -- And also TAKE TIME TO READ!!
