Wishing everyone an amazing Monday!!

“See if you can catch yourself complaining, in either speech or thought, about a situation you find yourself in, what other people do or say, your surroundings, your life situation, even the weather. To complain is always nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself into a victim. When you speak out, you are in your power. So change the situation by taking action or by speaking out if necessary or possible; leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness.” ― Eckhart Tolle

Blessings!

ps. Comments will be turned off on some posts.  At the moment I am concentrating my efforts on 1. visiting the blogs of my friends, old and new; 2. cleaning my Drafts folder and 3. finishing books from my fellow bloggers.

Visiting Blogs: I don’t want to miss out on my friend’s words – I am always inspired.  I am also enjoying visiting new blogs.  There are so many interesting people out there.

Drafts Folder: When I decided to start cleaning out the folder I had 260 drafts. As of now I have 173 drafts left to review. Progress!

Books to read: I have 6 books to finish reading (those are books from my fellow bloggers only.  The complete list of books to finish reading is over 40)  They are are at various stages. As you can see I have been mastering the art of starting, but never finishing. Will read one at a time now instead of doing a couple of pages of many.

Lastly, I am praying for peace, wishing peace, hoping for peace, praying for peace. Lets love and respect all!

Books to read, Cassa Bassa, Cindy Georgakas, friends who write, poetry, well-being

“To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.” ― Anatole France

Look at what just got delivered:  Books from my two new favorite writers.

I know I am a little late to this party, but I want to celebrate these beautiful women and their books.

The Scars We Don’t See by Cassa Bassa from “Flicker of Thoughts” https://flickerofthoughts.com/

and

Re-Create & Celebrate by Cindy Georgakas from “Unique Times With Cindy” https://uniquelyfitblog.com/

Major congratulations to Cassa and Cindy.  Their blogs always inspire me, so I am sure I will be even more inspired by their books.  

I applaud the effort, dedication and love that went into creating this two gorgeous books.  I am sure I will enjoy reading them, and will come back here with a review. 

Until then, I just want to say: You go girl!! I am so proud of you both!!

“There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.”
― Ernest Hemingway
