Living in Nebali

All,
Well apparently I need to read a book on mental acuity or the lack thereof... I started to read the book that I recommended and it seemed very strange indeed. I kept waiting for it to get good....I spoke with Anne Taylor and she said "that's not the book". The book is called A General Theory of Love by three male physicians. Just forget it!!! My recommendation for the month is to read 1 Nephi, eat lots of chocolate, take a hot bath.... and enjoy the peace and comfort found in that far far away place known as "Nebali".....The place I must go to quite regularly.....

September's Book Pick

Mom needed asked me to post her pick for this month, so here it is. A Return to Love by Marianne Williamson. She discusses how the principles of Hell, God, You, Surrender, and Miracles form a spiritual practice with ramifications that give meaning to relationships, work, body, and Heaven. At the outset, she notes: "Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we learned here. The spiritual journey is the relinquishment, or unlearning, of fear and the acceptance of love back in our hearts." We can become miracle workers, according to Williamson, once we let our lives be unspooled in love. Anne Taylor gave mom the recommendation and said it is fabulous. Happy reading!
