I’m reading “Six Pillars of Self-Esteem” by Nathaniel Brandon in February. I’ve always thought of my own self-esteem as fleeting, something I had to conjure up when needed. I am surprised when I have it and, after beginning this book, surprised at the things I do, decisions I make when it apparently escapes me. I’m really interested in your thoughts as I (we) make our way through this book. I hope you’ll Join the Discussion! February 3 Question 1: As […]

The Cuckoo’s Calling Book Club | Join the Discussion

I’m a J. K Rowling fan. Her writing seems to flow effortlessly, she’s a master of metaphore, and her use of folklore, myth and legend make her phenomenal story-teller which had me hooked from the get go. When I heard that “The Cuckoo’s Calling” by Robert Galbraith was Rowling’s pseudonym, I wanted to read it. Rowling’s ability to develop characters that are richly three-dimensional, set in stories where even the unbelievable can be believed, in settings that are so full […]

The Women Food And God Book Club | Join the Discussion

Several years ago, a friend gave me the book “Women Food and God.” I read it when it was given to me in Delaware. Then we moved to North Carolina and next to Colorado. Even though I had read the book, and after all those moves, it always sat on the side table by a chair in the bedroom. I’ve walked by it in different houses in different states for the past 3 years. I decided there was a reason […]

I chose to read Six Pillars of Self-Esteem based on one quote I read. “No one is coming” For me, that’s a powerful thought. I spent the better part of my life waiting…waiting for someone to drop in and visit, waiting for the kids to grow up, waiting for the Divorce become final…you get the picture. I was always waiting for someone or something to happen. Nathaniel Branden says in the forward: My experience is that most people underestimate their […]

The Doctor’s Diet Book Club | Join the Discussion

I’m a sucker for a cookbook…or any other book about food, and like so many women I’ve been a yo yo dieter. I really liked what I heard Dr. Stork talking about on TV the other day though – Food is medicine. Almost all of the health issues we face as we age, can be fixed with the food we choose to put in our body. I’ve always had the notion that dying is easy…it’s the living that’s hard. The […]
