Reading and Loving It!

I love to read.

Growing up, I would just be in my room reading whatever book is available.

We have a mini library at home, super-mini but it was all powerful books. The books mom compiled and collected for us to read are all books on living, loving and learning.

I remember authors like Napoleon Hill, Dale Carnegie and Norman Vincent Peale among others.

I have grown to love libraries; at least checking books out! Lol!

When I was working in Makati, Phils; it was a bonus that our office was near National Bookstore! I got to spend my excess lunch minutes just browsing Self-Help books. There I found some more powerful authors like Leo Buscaglia; Wayne Dyer; Andrew Matthews, our very own Bo Sanchez, among others.

Up until now, I still try to read as much as I could; and am passing the habit to my kids.

There is just so much power in the written word. Reading allows us to broaden our horizon; look beyond our own "boxes"; get to know ourselves more and learn about our power within.

These authors influenced and changed my life! They continue to do so.

Someday soon, I hope to meet Wayne Dyer; Andrew Matthews; Dalai Lama among others and be inspired!

More so, I'd love to meet the greatest author of our lives someday - not soon though! Lol!

NAMASTE.

Redirecting Thoughts!

Sometimes, we forget to take control of our minds. There are times that we just do a lot of things out of habit. We do a lot of things unconsciously. These days, whenever I find myself “thinking”, I am making sure I am thinking productive things. What will I do next?; What are my plans today?;How will I go about today’s activities? If alone in the car, driving, I’d deliberately turn on the positive, encouraging radio station, since their kind of music is good for the soul. I could listen and know that it is all good. As much as possible, I try not to think of negative or bad things. Why? Because I’ve proven that whenever I do that, it boomerangs on me! There was this one time when I felt so pissed off with my husband that my mind was just creating all these negative vibes! Asked what happened next? The more my husband got pissed off. I wasn’t even saying anything, it was all mind power, and it hasn’t done any good! So I experimented the next time it happened, ins...

Overspeeding!!!

credit While driving, a police car passed me by, turned around and followed me. I slowed down. credit It gave a warning for me to stop. I did. I was running a lot of excuses in my mind but decided to put it all aside. I prayed instead - Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be. A police women came. "Hi!" I said, "Hello!" "Ok", she said, "I pulled you over, because you were running at 60mph in a 45 lane". I said "I'm sorry". She said "Now do you have driver's license, registration and insurance?" I said, "Yes". There was a pause (Oh, I guess, this was the time when I should have given her everything already), she repeated, "So, you do have your driver's license, registration and insurance?" I said, "Yes", and took out my driver's license. She took it, and said, "so you've never been stopped before?" I said, ...
