Book Review: Life of Pi by Yann Martel
If you are looking for an adventure, Life of Pi by Yann Martel is a perfect literary escapade. Life of Pi starts out fascinating to me, a child raised in the United States and not in India and not the child of zookeepers. “In many ways, running a zoo is a...
There Are Many Ways to Stand
This weekend I was accused of being a pacifist by someone I consider a child. Not that they weren't of adult age but they were in their early 20's, they have never had a job because they are disabled and they still live with their parents. I remember being in my 20's...
Book Review: Gandhi An Autobiography The Story of My Experiments with Truth by Mohandas K. Gandhi
I knew nothing of Gandhi when I began reading Gandhi An Autobiography The Story of My Experiments with Truth by Mohandas K. Gandhi. I had no idea he had died in 1948, well before my parents were born. I knew people quoted him, but really that was about it and as I...
Revive me, O Lord, for Your name’s sake!
3 For the enemy has persecuted my soul; He has crushed my life to the ground; He has made me dwell in darkness, like those who have long been dead. 4 Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is distressed. 5 I remember the days of old; I...
Life Being Beautiful
I find it interesting that I can learn something from any situation if I look hard enough. There is always a message. For instance the last novel I read, The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner, got me to think about my bosom friend and how she has spoken life into me and...
Book Review: The Lost Apothecary A Novel by Sarah Penner

Book Review: The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams
I just finished this amazing book called The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams. It sucked me in and I could hardly think of anything else for the 3 afternoons it took me to devour it. I also loved that it had short chapters so I could read a chapter between tasks. The...
Book Review: The Watchmakers by Harry Lenga and Scott Lenga
I loved the book, The Watchmakers by Harry Lenga and Scott Lenga, and devoured all 262 pages in one afternoon. I simply could not put it down. There was also a glossary, sources and endnotes that I used and or skimmed as needed. I have to admit this book sat for 3...
I Love My New Neurologist
I can’t say I wasn’t just a little nervous yesterday about meeting my new neurologist but I can tell you after meeting Dr. Kathleen Parks at PeaceHealth in Vancouver, I love my new neurologist! You might recall from my posts: Medical Issues and I Believe in Miracles...
Saying Goodbye
I had a friend that I considered more like family dump me over the weekend. it wasn’t the first time. They do this every 7 years or so, whenever I feel brave enough to ask for growth in our relationship. We have known each other for more years than we haven’t and gone...
