I'm so deeply pleased that the book is inspiring to you and your friends. And I'm grateful that you took the time to let me know. To the extent that the book resonates with you and others, I believe it is because my experience is really like so many other people's. We all share basically the same hopes and struggles. When we can share something of our own story with others, we all realize that we have something to offer and to receive from each other. Today I received a gift from you. Thank you.Galen Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10189831838630645863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302107831896769514.post-91217290724074820662018-02-20T10:49:09.461-08:002018-02-20T10:49:09.461-08:00I saw this book, thinking I would buy it and never...I saw this book, thinking I would buy it and never read it like all the other books I have on my shelf. I read the first couple of pages and had to force myself to put it down, convince myself its quality and not quantity that matters. I have bought 3 more for my friends that seem to be in each and every chapter like myself. I started to write a short blurb in my friend that just lost her husbands group text named right hand gang. If I miss a day I hear it right away, even if they are driving to work they ask me to record a reading from it. This book is changing so many lives in such a wonderful way. I just wanted to say thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience with all of us. I have 4 more friends asking for my book when I am finished with it, I told them I will never finish it because I keep reflecting back on my lessons I tell them. And direct them to Amazon to get their own. Thanks again!Suecowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01123030147573393374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302107831896769514.post-45552817196849230952017-04-04T05:25:18.226-07:002017-04-04T05:25:18.226-07:00This is amazing!

Verse 46 of dhammapada. It seems that in this verse the flower pointed arrow,or the temptations of life that make us cling to life and suffering, is what is being pointed at...we are entranced by the fragrance of our finite existence and cling to it, but realizing impermanence allows us to let go and not cling to our individual existence.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01814869437381960423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302107831896769514.post-44328087272340246602016-01-07T06:09:54.141-08:002016-01-07T06:09:54.141-08:00Hey, Corinne.

We should compare notes about that! For you, I can see that the bread was also therapeutic. Funny comment about the pioneer women. <br /><br />Thanks for the kind words about the blog.

For me, bread became a sort of spiritual thing. I love the creating and watching something form. If I did everything right, this big wonderful tasty thing filled my kitchen with the most awesome smell. If I messed up - well, I learned how to make some really good cakes and even hard bread for dressing! I also tolerated a bad marriage by taking all my frustration out on the dough that I kneaded. On a really bad day, that bread was so well kneaded it could have floated away as it was so lite. I used to laugh and wonder how many pioneer families survived because mom had to make bread every day! Anyhow, I enjoy your blog.Ingrid Brileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11239790012900285349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302107831896769514.post-36132674142444704222014-01-02T18:54:38.140-08:002014-01-02T18:54:38.140-08:00Thank you.
