Book Club - On Enlightenment and Lessons for Living - Books I'm loving this Summer

Inspiration, truth, motivation, mentoring and friendship in spade loads from the following wonderful gifts of authorship:

The Power of Now - Eckart Tolle

The spiritual teachings will be familiar to many but Eckart's gift is in the sheer POWER of his communication. Wielding his sword of Truth, he cuts straight through all our mental funk and brings us viscerally into our Enlightenment. So powerful, so effective, I am loving this book!

Ballerina Body - Misty Copeland

Misty, the first African American principal ballerina at the American Ballet Theatre, is an empowering soul, inspiring in her zeal to take others on a journey to strength, grace and selfhood by sharing her hard won-fitness and life lessons. A great female role model - and wow, what a body!

Living Beautifully with Uncertainty and Change - Pema Chodron

Pema's words are like hot chocolate and a hug in front of a roaring fire at Christmas time...with A Wonderful Life on the TV for good measure! Sheer spiritual comfort food - and yet, still so good for you :-) Everyone should have a Pema Chodron book to turn to at times of challenge and difficulty.

Goddesses Never Age - Dr Christiane Northrup

Only just dipping into this one so far but am impressed by the wise, witty and uplifting words generously shared by this goddess wing woman.

Georgia O'Keeffe - Roxana Robinson

Strong, single minded, revolutionary and whole hearted in all her endeavours, creative and otherwise, a true American pioneer. A kind of Madonna for the first half of the last century, it's good to hold these women near as examples of what each of us can do, if we just hold fast to our internal truths - and act on them.

Simple Abundance - Sarah ban Breathnach

Satisfying daily snippets of soul nourishment in this daybook designed to focus our attention on what is truly meaningful and important in life. Sarah is a skilful weaver of words of inspiration and comfort and I always feel uplifted after reading one of her daily entries.
