On my shelf this week:
How to Blog a Book, by Nina Amir
My Planet: Finding Humor in the Oddest Place, by Mary Roach
The Night Trilogy, by Elie Wiesel
Where She Went, by Gayle Forman
The Shadow Effect: Illuminating the Hidden Power of Your True Self, by Deepak Chopra, Debbie Ford and Marianne Williamson
This week is a Sabbath week for me (I’ll be learning some new things and doing “out of the ordinary” work, instead of the usual), so I’ll be doing more reading. I’d like to learn how to blog a book, which is why the first one is on my list this week. Others include Mary Roach (have you ever read her? She’s hilarious!), Elie Wiesel (the first in the trilogy is his memoir, Night, and the other two are novels, also about the Holocaust), Gayle Forman (it’s a sequel to a book I recently finished) and a spiritual book about uncovering your true self. Some great reads!
Best quotes so far:
“A married couple can best be defined as a unit of people whose sleep habits are carefully engineered to keep each other awake.”
Mary Roach
“It’s easier to create wholeness than to change your reality one fragment at a time.”
Deepak Chopra
“Once you see yourself as part of the whole, a new understanding arises. There is no need to label yourself or anyone else as part of the good-versus-evil, right-versus-wrong drama. You can exchange judgment for the real experience of compassion, love and forgiveness.”Z
Deepak Chopra
“The unknown is necessary for change. When you make peace with that fact, the world will transform itself from a place of constant risk to the playground of the unexpected.”
Deepak Chopra
“You cannot be rejected unless you reject yourself.”
Deepak Chopra
