A converstaion between me and my husband last night.... Him: I have nothing to read Me: look around you....there are a milllion books in this house! Him: well, recommend something then Ok now this may seem like a very ordinary, very boring conversation but one of the things in life that gives me the most pleasure other than reading is recommending good books to people, especially someone like my husband who when I first met him, didn't really read a whole lot. Now, if he is without a book, he feels lost. I'm so thrilled that he has joined the world that I have inhabited for years - one where losing yourself in a good story is as important to life as breathing. Ok, so what did I recommend? The first book I eagerly pulled off the shelf was, "The Count of Monte Cristo." One of my favorites and one I think he will like because it is an adventure story:: but is is also filled with betrayal, intrigue, romance, revenge...it has the whole works! This is right up his all...
The fabulously eccentric non conformist, poet Allen Ginsberg said, "“To gain your own voice, you have to forget about having it heard.” This blog is not to gain followers or to show off my writing skills, but instead to express my thoughts and feelings about the world through words. I believe words have the power to change and move people and through writing them, change oneself. This is what I am doing in this blog...changing myself one word at a time.
