#ALLLIVESmatter
So, I am not at all political. I do not read the news except for an occasional moment when I think I should be more aware. I joke (truthfully) that all I need to know about the world is on Facebook – or my husband tells me. 😛 As I do my best to ignore…

_The Robber Bride_ by Margaret Atwood
_The Robber Bride_ by Margaret Atwood My foray into Margaret Atwood is spotty. It seems that I come across her books quite by accident. The first one I ever read by Atwood was _The Blind Assassin_, which I picked up at a thrift shop somewhere when I was visiting my parents. I devoured that finding…

_The Murder House_ by James Patterson
_The Murder House_ by James Patterson In my quest to keep distracting myself and still enjoy the long Eid weekend, I decided to give myself a little reprieve from my four other books I am reading and have some ‘holiday’ pleasure.

Value of Freedom
Day 8: What book are you most grateful for? Oh my what a very tough question for me…! There are so many wonderful books out there and reading is my absolute favorite form of escaping reality. I have been doing it for as long as I can remember – reading to enter another world. 😛…

_Awaken the Giant Within_ by Anthony Robbins
_Awaken the Giant Within_ by Anthony Robbins I read this some time ago and am not sure how I did not write about it earlier, but in any case, it was a book recommended by a friend, especially when I started on the coaching path. Tony Robbins has been a big name inspirational coach for…

_The 21-day Sugar Detox: Bust Sugar & Carb Cravings Naturally_ by Diane Sanfilippo
_The 21-day Sugar Detox: Bust Sugar & Carb Cravings Naturally_ by Diane Sanfilippo At the end of September (yes it has been a while) a friend asked if I wanted to join her in doing a 21-day sugar detox. I had been thinking about it for a while – since going Paleo – but had…
