One of those things is books. In fact, when I get on a binge, I will devour upwards of six books in a single week. I don't remember everything in them, but I really enjoy it.
Tonight was book club with some wonderful friends of mine (and my sister-in-law came too!). We read Eat Pray Love and talked about the following concepts:
- living in the present - because that is where God is
- taking care of yourself in order to create self-respect
- soul-mate - is that the right way to describe someone who is the mirror of yourself?
- God's love for us
- having a spiritual anchor
- allowing yourself to make mistakes and then move on - forgive yourself
- and any tangent that we could squeeze in :)
I love these little oasis' once a month that let me express my thoughts and impressions and hear others. Many times they have changed the way I've felt about a book, and, more times than I can count, they have shared inspiration/impressions that I totally missed. And they introduce me to books that I would never have picked up - which is great.
These ladies are wonderful and I have loved having these getaways for the past two years and hope that we have them for the next ten years.
