Wow! I just finished Abby Wambach’s book, Wolfpack. It was a very short read packed with nothing but nonstop life lessons and “new rules” to consider and adopt! I will list the 8 new rules introduced in this book along with some of my own thoughts and impressions. 1. Create your own path. We have…
“If I have inside me the stuff to make cocoons, maybe the stuff of butterflies is in there too.” Trina Paulus This book tells the story of personal transformation. It is beautifully written.

I recently posted a blog post about Jill Bolte Taylor’s first book, My Stroke of Insight, and I am back again to discuss her second book, Whole Brain Living. This book is truly a life changing book though the changes won’t occur immediately. A shift in behavior/habit will need to occur and practice makes perfect! Dr.…
I am a little late to the party reading this book. It was purchased after listening to a Super Soul Sunday podcast where the author was the guest and has been in my stacks for several years. Jill Bolte Taylor, PhD is a neuroanatomist/brain scientist who experienced a stroke and lived to tell about it…
Brené Brown is hands down one of my favorite writers/speakers. She is real and raw and chases authenticity with vigor. Braving the Wilderness is a book (as the title says) focused on true belonging while having the courage to also stand alone. It was written around the time of the 2016 election when Americans realized…
Illuminata, A Return to Prayer by Marianne Williamson is a beautiful book. At its simplest, it is a book of prayers for all of us to use as the need arises. There is a prayer for EVERY occasion. Though I believe God knows our hearts, at times, it is hard to find the words to pray.…

What Unites Us, an instant New York Times Bestseller written by Dan Rather and Elliot Kirschner, was published in November of 2017 following a tough Presidential election in 2016. I just finished reading this book on the eve of the 2020 Presidential election in a time of extreme divisiveness in this country. Dan Rather is…
Wow – what a quirky book! Anxious People by Fredrik Backman is a meandering story that sometimes leaves you shaking your head. Multiple characters are brought together in a random way that ends up being not so random at all. The author explores how interconnected we really are, how strangers impact our lives daily and…
My Life on the Road by Gloria Steinem is an incredible book. I bought this book many years ago for myself and a friend. Due to the amount of books I have and my own previous life on the road, I had yet to get to it. What a wonderful read! And I finished it on…
Books are a huge part of my life. I love to get lost in a book, to have my own personal awakenings while reading books, and to be transported to a different time and place. I started keeping a book journal in 1996. Though I have always been an avid reader, my true love for…
