Let's get back to business.....

The break was great. I regrouped and feel recharged mentally and physically. Some major things took place while I was away. I finished the book. Now I am searching for an editor and publisher to make things happen......and that is the hardest part of the journey.
I had several people ask when I would be returning to the blog. Thanks for asking, it is a great compliment to know that others like to read what you have to say.

Anyone reading Oprah's book club selection, "A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle? I am very curious about this Oprah book phenomenon. She seems to wave a magic wand over books and authors and they immediately turn to gold. She does this with people(think Dr. Phil) and products (think Spanx and Wacoal bras) and books. It is fascinating to me that one woman can have so much power over our thoughts, emotions and actions. Kinda scary and if you stop and really think about it. Hmmmm....maybe I should send her a copy of my manuscript?!

So back to the book of choice. I am 45 pages in to this thing. It is a difficult read. One of the core elements of the book is the notion that you must live fully in the present moment to be fully alive and fulfilled. To let your mind ramble to past issues, or future endeavors is time wasted and not healthy for the soul. Interesting.....but not as easy as it seems. I am guilty of constantly thinking ahead to what needs to be done. Perhaps it does stop me from fully embracing the moment I am currently experiencing. So my goal this week is to fully embrace each moment as it comes. To try to enjoy the time or at least experience every detail of every moment of my life this week. It is a bigger challenge that it seems. For I am the woman who normally makes out the grocery list in my head as I am folding laundry, and makes calls for hair app ts. as I drive to get the kids from school. I am the ultimate multi-task er.
This should make for a very interesting week, and a very dirty house. If you have read the book and would like to share an insight, please leave a comment. I am very curious about how this book is impacting people. After all, it is the number one best seller and has sold millions of copies so my guess is that all of America is now "in the moment" and doing what they can to recognize how their egos are driving their lives.

Oprah has now catapulted Eckhart Tolle's two books to the number one and number 2 slots on the NY Times Best Sellers List. I'll bet he is thoroughly engaged in this moment, and I am sure his ego has been completely untouched.
