Books:

Eating Heaven,by Jennie Shortridge. Meet my newestfavorite author! I read this book in twosittings while on vacation last week and wished it wouldn't end. It's about 39 year old Eleanor Samuels, afreelance writer who loves food a bit too much. But her relationship with foodand with herself changes when her beloved Uncle Benny falls ill and she is hisclosest caregiver. This is exactly thekind of book I love to read... it's wise, funny, sad, sensual and hopeful. And it's about real women and realrelationships.

Wheels of Light, by Rosalyn Bruyere. This book explores the seven chakras of thebody with particular focus on the first chakra, which has to do withour basic life force. Drawing onscientific research, Native American culture, the ancient traditions ofthe Egyptians and Greeks, the philosophies of the Hindus, and thereligions of the East, the author presents a unique perspectiveon the value and healing potential of the chakra system.

She teaches skills thatopen the doors to a powerful co-creative relationship between these two forceswithin us and guides us to use these tools to identify our desires, engage ourdreams, and realize our destinies.

Movies:

Field of Dreams,featuring Kevin Costner, Amy Madigan, Ray Liotta, James Earl Jones. This movie is a Capraesque film about a man who wants to reconnect withthe people and aspirations that are important to him. Costner portrays Ray Kinsella, anIowa farmer with a wifeand young daughter. The movie beginswith him hearing a mysterious voice telling him to build a baseball field inhis cornfield. Even though this meansputting his family in financial jeopardy, Ray follows the voice's instructions. This stirring film uses baseball, thenational pastime that has unified Americans for generations, as a point ofentry for explorations of a variety of connections- between a deceased fatherand his son, a fan and the players of the sport, and a doctor and a significantmoment in his past. It is these kinds ofties that give life depth and breadth. I also find this movie to be an excellent portrayal of someone followingtheir intuition, no matter what.
