You Can Heal Your Life
I’m behind on posting about my 52 books in 52 weeks project, but I’m not behind on reading! I re-read this one for the first time in about ten years on the Beachbody Cruise. It’s a classic metaphysical/holistic healing book by Louise Hay. Published in the mid-80s, it was ahead of its time with holistic […]
I Am The Word
This book is unlike other books on spirituality I’ve read. The author, Paul Selig, is a clairvoyant, channeler and empath. Selig was basically an atheist until his mid-20s, when he had a spiritual experience and began to develop spiritual gifts as an empath and medium. He quietly worked on them alone and with a small […]

The Power of Intention by Dr. Wayne Dyer
My second “paper” book of 2019 is finished! The Power of Intention took me a long time to finish. Even longer than you might think. You see, I found the original receipt in the book from when I bought it a long time ago, dated October of 2007. So, I guess I can say it […]
The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer
