Anyone who needs a little self-motivation should check out Infinite Possibilities-The Art of Living Your Dreams by Mike Dooley http://www.amazon.com/Infinite-Possibilities-Living-Your-Dreams/dp/1582702322/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1422364520&sr=1-1&keywords=infinite+possibilities+mike+dooley Infinite Possibilities outlines a very straight forward plan for manifesting dreams. The basic premise is that once a dream is clearly visualized, all that's required is a belief that it will happen coupled with sustained action in the general direction of the stated goal. Dooley claims the Universe will do the rest. Dooley's ideas can be described as a Plan of Action for the Law of Attraction. Oftentimes, people read about the Law of Attraction and interpret it as just wishing something into being. In reality, the Law of Attraction is a call to action. In Infinite Possibilities , Dooley stresses the importance of taking ownership of...

Today we have a guest blog by Lynnda Pollio, Author of Trusting the Currents Lynnda Pollio never expected to be a writer. That changed when she began hearing the voice of Addie Mae Aubrey, a Southern, African American woman. Her first words, It’s not what happened to me that matters, began a spirited remembering of Addie Mae’s teenage years in the late 1930s rural south and the hard learned wisdom she asked Lynnda to share. Beginning at age eleven with the arrival of beautiful, mysterious cousin Jenny and her shadowy stepfather, Uncle Joe, Trusting the Currents explores Addie Mae’s reluctant awakening. As Jenny introduces Addie Mae to the world beyond what can be seen, romantic love enters her life for the first time with Rawley. Unfathomable loss and rising trust in the “Invisibles” leads Addie Mae on a tumultuous journey to a life-altering decision. Trusting the Currents is a story of self-discovery—of faith, courage, family, and the uneasy searc...

Fat Charlie has a problem. Not only has his father, Anansi, died leaving him stuck with a horrid nickname, but Fat Charlie's previously unknown brother, Spider, had popped onto the scene. Spider's appearance is far from joyful. Like Anansi, Spider has more than a few tricks up his sleeve, all of which leave Fat Charlie in a whole lot of trouble http://www.neilgaiman.com/works/Books/Anansi+Boys/ Anansi Boys was narrated by Lenny Henry, a well rounded actor with a long history of working with big stars like Tracey Ullman and David Copperfield http://lennyhenry.net/bio/ It was Henry's narration which really made this audio book work for me. I was amazed at smoothly and convincingly Henry was able to move from the American voice of Spider to the British voice of Fat Charlie. Anansi Boys was a surreal story, much like Neil Gaiman's other works such as Stardust, Coraline and The Ocean at the End of the Lane. Gaiman has a unique way of ...

Best Airport Read Ever! Next time you're stuck in an airport, let me suggest Skink-No Surrender by Carl Hiaasen as a little ointment for the traveling blues. For starters, Skink was written for young adults, so the print is nice and big. More importantly, it was penned by one of the best satirists of our time http://www.carlhiaasen.com/ Let me be the first to say I'm not exactly the person you want to find yourself sitting next to in an airport, or worse, an airplane. “Nauseous Flier” would be a severely understated description of my traveling habits. Generally speaking, I like to “enjoy” the time leading up to the flight by washing down fistfuls of Dramamine with gallons of Sprite Zero (the irony that I can't sit still for five seconds yet suffer from motion sickness hasn't escaped me). My flight home from San Francisco over the holidays started out in the usual way (weird breathing exercises plus the aforementioned over-the-counter an...
