Book Power

TUESDAY, JUNE 27, 2006
"We read books to find out who we are.  What other people, real or imaginary, do and think and feel is an essential guide to our understanding of what we ourselves are and may become."  -- Ursula K. LeGuin

My guest tonight on The Empower Hour was Kathy L. Patrick, owner of Beauty and the Book, the country's only Hair Salon/Book Store and founder of The Pulpwood Queens Book Clubs, the largest "meeting and discussing" book clubs in the world -- "where tiaras are mandatory and reading good books is the rule!"

Butterfly Watching

MONDAY, JUNE 26, 2006
"Chase butterflies and they will never be caught. Watch butterflies and they come to you!" -- Unknown

Building on the synchronicity of yesterday, I received the above quote today in an email. (Is somebody trying to tell me something?)

Bonnie Snyder, (a new friend) founder of SacredHomeSpa, goes on to say " To watch a butterfly, you have to be still. You have to wait patiently, quietly as the butterfly moves from flower to flower. There's no hurry, no rush, no to-do list while focused on the butterfly."

SUNDAY, JUNE 25, 2006
"Work is not always required...there is such a thing as sacred idleness, the cultivation of which is now fearfully neglected." -- George Macdonald

In the process of unpacking, I'm "discovering" all kinds of goodies. Today's was the book Simple Abundance by Sarah Ban Breathnach which was given to me by my friend Irene.

Patience Power

MONDAY, JUNE 12, 2006

"Patience and perserverence have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish." --- John Quincy Adams

When I saw this quote the other day, I was struck by its poignancy ... and I knew I wanted to write about it. I don't know about you, but patience has never been my "strongest suit." I'm not too bad in the perserverence department, but as far as patience goes ...
