Slightly Overwhelmed Reading

I must report, at current i'm reading 4 books at once. Is that possible? Technically no, I am not sitting with 4 books open wide before me, each page respecitvely exposed. It all began last October. I attended an event at downtown Atlanta (Auburn Ave. Library), met several motivating women, pulled inspiration from a place I was unaware of, shared a piece of myself with the audience and met Victoria Rowell. I purchased her memoir 'The Women Who Raised Me' I asked her to make the autograph out to my mother (whose favorite book by the way is The Holy Bible). The book was then relinquished to her care. Several months later I found the title collecting dust on her mockery of a bookstand. So I rescued the book during a visit and began only to stop at the end of the prologue. I've been on page 17 forever. During my visit I salvaged several reads from the local library book sale, amongst them 'Island Bliss' the book comprises of 4 stories by 4 different Authors. I completed story 2 about a week ago. A few days ago we went on a family outing. On the list of places we stopped, Barnes and Nobles was on the itenerary. YaY!! I picked up a copy of the 'Tao Te Ching' which I began reading immediately. It's a very deep book so I stop often to get a better understanding. Which leads us to the newest read... 'The Help'. The movie previews look good and I was guessing i'd catch it once it comes out on dvd but then I was invited to a special viewing of the movie, which will lead to a luncheon and questionaire. The event cooridinator stressed owning the book was not neccessary, but I just could not resist the urge which brings us to crazy number 4. It is slightly overwhelmed reading but i'm loving ever minute of it... On a different less hectic note, my first radio appearance was an amazing experience.

Life Is Just Awful. Ain't It?

Life is awful. Dealing bad hands. Getting the short end of the stick. Hardships. Strife. Cup half empty syndrome. Pessimistic happenings. Reoccurring nightmares parading as 'just another bad dream'. D ...more
