Cindy's comments from the Chicks On Lit group.

Wow, you girls are really doing good.
Make someone else cook today and .... write!
Rosemary and Brenda...maybe pretend you're writing me a letter all about your life for the last bit!

Genia...seems you are reading some good books that I've been wanting to read too! Right now I'm still reading Her Fearful Symmetry which is unlike my usual reads, but I'm enjoying it.

Thanks Wendy T and Carrie!

Happy Thanksgiving to all! Hope you have a wonderful day filled with good food, family & friends!

I keep seeing that one at the library Genia! May have to pick it up now after seeing how much you liked it!

Hi Vera...glad to have you here!!
and Roberta...cahunas are good!! You gave me a giggle for the day!

Thanks Rosemary!!

Well good luck Mandy Sue!

Jo...love that one about...that family needs grace....no, that family needs casseroles!
and
...mending my soul!

32,000 words Brenda...wow! Of course you can do it! You are almost there!
and
Jo....way to go! Yippee and all that jazz!

Go girls, keep writing!

As your cheerleading section, I think you guys need to send me your writing to read when you're finished!!! :)

I won a book once and it is still on my shelf to read. Guess that's why I haven't won again!
But..have you looked at the give-a-ways lately? There are bunches!

What exactly is the 108 day meditation challenge? and do you think there is a book that I could start out with as far as Yoga...

Just have to say, I read some more of the PoN yesterday evening and Kaliki, I can see now where the whole 'thinking with being' comes from. That "there's a vast intelligence beyond thought'. The whole 'I am' realization... To step back from your thoughts and realize this sense of your own presence that arises beyond the mind. (My question was if it isn't a thought then how can you think it or realize it?) Hmmm.

Liz touches on this in Beads 55-63 when she writes, "I can choose my thoughts". or "If you want to control your life so bad, work on the mind. That's the only thing you should be trying to control. Drop everything else but that. Because if you can't learn to master your thinking, you're in deep trouble forever."

So it seems that thoughts may be a major problem...thinking about the past or the future, thinking negative thoughts, etc. and though I'm not very far into Tolle's book, I have to say that Liz in EPL sure makes this a much easier concept to try and understand. In my opinion!

Practicing yoga and meditation may make this a lot easier to understand too. So yea, Jo....Yoga...our New Year's resolution??? :)

Hi Erin!! You will certainly expand your books to read list here!!

We are organizing furniture now! So I'll be back later too....

I haven't read The Time Traveler's Wife. I started it but just couldn't get into it. It seems this one is starting out good!

Hope to see some of your bookshelves too!

So here are mine:


The box on the side of the bookshelves are the books to swap on PBS or BookMooch. Most of the books on the left bookshelf are my to be read books! As you can see, way too many!

This is so much fun; to share pictures of your bookshelves! I finally figured out how to do it. Upload your pictures to PhotoBucket. Click on your picture and it gives you a hotmail code on the side. Copy and paste this code as a comment and voila...your pictures!

..and Kaliki, what is reality? Really?? What is reality for one person may be different for another. ..and how can we see reality without thoughts?
Now I'm confusing myself!!

You know every 'Bead' I read brings me to deeper and deeper questions and reflections on my life.
Enlightenment? Not something I have dwelled on I guess. I think as humans, we are all searching for this place of enlightenment, or knowledge...or realization. I also think that it will never happen to a mortal being; not totally or completely.
