Books:
Belong To Me,by Marisa de losSantos. If you are looking for a novel where thecharacters are as real as your own friends and family, then you will love this new novel. There areseveral characters' stories interwoven into one big loving novel about familyand community and home and friendship and love. It truly is the kind of novel that you don't want to end. One of my favorite reads so far this year.
Three Cups of Tea,by Greg Mortenson. In 1993 a mountaineernamed Greg Mortenson drifted into an impoverishedPakistan village after a failedattempt at mountain climbing. Moved bythe inhabitants' kindness, he promised to return and build them a school. This book is the story of that promise andits amazing outcome. Over the nextdecade he built not one, but fifty-five schools (especially for girls) in theforbidding terrain that gave birth to the Taliban. His story remains a testament to the power ofcommunity and the ability of one person to make a difference.

The Red Book,by Sera Beak. A Deliciously Unorthodox Approach to Igniting Your Divine Spark. This book is described by one reviewer as "aspiritual fire starter... a combustible cocktail of Hindu Tantra and ZenBuddhism, Rumi and Carl Jung, goddesses and psychics, shaken with cosmicnudges, meaningful subway rides, haircuts, relationships, dreams, andintuition." Need I say more? Okay, Iwill. It's wise and witty and smart...everything you need to grow your own spiritual life into a flourishing of yourtrue authentic self.
