Greetings!
If you surrender completely to the moments as they pass,
you live more richly those moments.
                                            --Anne Morrow Lindbergh 
 
Ah...summertime!  I look forward to the slower pace during the months of July and August.  It is a wonderful season to regroup, rebalance, and rediscover...read a book just for fun; take a walk at dusk listening to the sounds surrounding you; try an ice cream flavor you have never tasted. What are your favorite ways to surrender completely to the moments as they pass?

Wishing you a month of moments,
Pam

Do You Have a Favorite Book?

 
seashellDo you have a book(s) that you find yourself reading and re-reading time and time again?  One of mine is Gift from the Sea by Anne Morrow Lindbergh.  Even though the words were written 55 years ago, they are timeless as they speak to the essence of mindfulness amidst our busy lives. I came upon an interview on NPR from 2006 with Anne Morrow Lindbergh's youngest daughter, Reeve, talking about her mother's life and her motivation for writing Gift from the Sea.  Click here to listen to the interview 
 
I would love to know what books call to you to read over and over again.  Email me and I will share these special titles in the August newsletter.
