This year has been the year of realization and change for me. My thoughts are so different now. My way of seeing people and other life has become more positive and hopeful.
How do I know that I have changed? I have kept a journal since I was 17. Sometimes I wrote in it every day for months, other times, like now, I write it in ever so often. It has kept record of my relationships, moves, travels, pain, happiness, and most importantly my progress in the physical and spiritual world. I read my past entries from when I was 19 and even at 20 and WOW. Sometimes I can't even believe I would write some things that are in there. I ask myself, "who is this person?" I can tell in my past writing that there was sometimes anger, jealousy, cravings for material things that only caused me unhappiness in the end.
Here are three books that I PROMISE you will help you in your life.

| The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, How to Expand Love and The Art of Happiness by the Dalai Lama |
I am SO THANKFUL that 'life' has allowed my mind to open up and the bad energies from inside of me to be released. I feel that I have been given a second chance in life..... even though I was physically in perfect health before. My mind was polluted; therefore, my actions were too.
I began to read these books after I began my own spiritual journey. I guess my energy brought these books to me so I could make sense of what I was experiencing in my own life.
From How to Expand Love:
"The blueprint for our actions can be found within the mind. Self-defeating attitudes arise not of their own accord but out of ignorance. Success, too, is found within ourselves. Out of self-discipline, self-awareness, and clear realization of the defects of anger and the positive effects of kindness will come peace."
"Love, compassion and concern for others are real sources of happiness. With these in abundance, you will not be disturbed by even the most uncomfortable circumstances. If you nurse hatred, however, you will not be happy even in the lap of luxury."
I will tell you guys more about the other two books later. My baby nephew just woke up and i'm babysitting!
If you would like to borrow any of these books from me just let me know and I'll be happy to share them with you.
