Whenever we take the time to read other peoples viewpoints, or thoughts in books for instance, a sharing takes place. In this sharing of ideas, you can build on ideas of your own. When this building takes place, you grow.

Share... build... grow...

We are never too old to learn and grow in this life. As author Gary Zukav says: "remember, that when you come across something you hear or read, that resonates with you, it is your Inner Wisdom confirming your own Truth".

Secret Lives Of Alexander Davids Neel
by Barbara Foster
It is a true life ADVENTURE story, a biography of David-Neel who was the first European woman to travel (and she did so on foot) to Lhasa, Tibet in the early 1900's. She was a Buddhist scholar and was highly influential; it was she who began the spread of Buddhist philosophy to the West with the publication of her several books which are still in print. This book is an amazing read, a tale of extreme fortitude, intelligence, spiritual practice. One will be amazed by this fore-mother!

Receiving Love
by Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt
These authors can guide you along the way to discover your hidden potential and transform your relationships by letting yourself be loved. For a relationship to evolve into mature love, we need to love the difficult parts of a partner, especially those that mirror parts of ourselves that we have rejected or hidden or of which we have lost awareness.
The book ascertains that loving our partner, warts and all, is the best way to facilitate our own personal and spiritual growth. I definitely recommend Receiving Love' since it offers great hope for the brain to stop running along old, familiar, negative tracks and along new ones, but only in relationship, since as the authors state, relationship holds evidence of our injuries but is also the means of our salvation.

Deep Water Passage
by Ann Linnea
This book is very inspirational and intriguing ... it's a true story of the author, Ann Linnea, in her 40's who finally makes the decision to sea kayak around Lake Superior. The caption on the front cover is a "spiritual journey at midlife". The woman challenges herself physically, emotionally and spiritually in this journey and it is amazing the challenges that she faces, overcomes and the courage she builds through in this journey. It makes you laugh and cry all at the same time and was very thought provoking. If you have a chance, this book is well worth the read, and the adventure is amazing.

The Memory Keeper's Daughter
by Kim Edwards
The story is about a father who delivers his own twins, the first one is healthy and the second one has Down's syndrome. He gives his daughter with Down's away allowing the mother to think she died. This story was very moving and connected with me on several levels.... I recommend this intriguing book since it is a novel that deals with regret, secrets and the healing power of love. ~ Delaine.

The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom
by Don Miguel Ruiz
This is a wonderful book about 4 "agreements" that we should all live by, and boy do they work. This was one of the few books I have read, where I can honestly say I was able to apply some of the principles into my life, especially the Agreement that says "don't take anything personally" and "don't make assumptions". It was a very freeing feeling to read this book. I loved this book so much that I bought a copies for 3 of my very dear friends for Christmas one year. My copy has been read and loaned many times and it is looking rather worn! That to me is a sign of a good book.

Who Moved My Cheese
by Spencer Johnson, M.D.
I really enjoyed this book! It took no time to read and "changed" my perspective on "change" in just an hour. It is also a fun way to look at something that can be very difficult.

French Women Don't Get Fat
by Mireille Guiliano
When I looked at this book in the store, I was compelled to buy it, partly because I liked the author's writing style, and partly because I was curious about what she had to say. Her theme is about common sense and being mindful. Mindfulness in this book refers to eating, but also applies to savoring life in general. Mindfulness, or bringing aware of how and why you do the things you do, and your relationships with people helps you to savor, and get the most out of life, rather than just rushing through and moving to the next thing without much thought as to why you are doing it.
All and all, I enjoyed this book very much, and the important message of being mindful and savoring the moment!
