I get so many questions about what I’m reading, who I’m listening to and what other spiritual goodies I’ve discovered. My spirituality backpack has developed into my bag of inspiration and guidance for my life.
My spirituality backpack contains resources offered up to me by those near and dear, or simply ones that speak to me at specific moments of my life.
I believe it of the up most importance to change the material we put into our heads and hearts. So often we are bombarded with TV Advertisements, billboards, and radio all advertising a product and potentially influencing and challenging us, most of the time without us realizing it. Just like the TV programs people watch, the audio books I listen to and books I read provide me with guidance and insight to deepen my spirituality and personal growth. Be it the life-long-learner in me, but I love to read, learn and grow and I love sharing my sources with others!
Resources:
Caroline Myss The Power of Prayer:
Madly In Love With Me, Christine Arylo, That endless tape of critical self-talk played on repeat stands no chance against the loving tools, techniques, and tips offered forth in this book. From soaking in a love bath, to leaving yourself loving inspirational messages, this book gives practicing self love a whole new look. Super girly, but more than worth it.
The Divine Law Of Compensation; On Work, Money, And Miracles, Marianne Williamson
Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, Deepak Chopra
Wild; From Lost to Found On The Pacific Crest Trail, Cheryl Strayed, At some point in our lives we are alone. Utterly, totally, alone and isolated. Sometimes we intentionally isolate ourselves by going somewhere or doing something, like hiking the Pacific Coast Trail (PCT) solo. This book will at the least inspire you to do the things you’ve told yourself you can’t do for whatever reason; it isn’t safe, you can’t afford it, and so on. This book spoke to me in many ways about things I want to do, but have been told it simply isn’t safe to do alone, and as a woman. After the sudden loss of her mother to cancer, the unraveling of her marriage, and her personal struggles overtaking her life, the author journeys outward which becomes her journey inward.
The Gifts Of Imperfection, Brene Brown,
The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho, This fiction read takes you on the personal journey of a boy.
A Return To Love; Reflections On The Principles Of A Course In Miracles, Marianne Williamson
David and Goliath, Underdogs, Misfits, and The Art of Battling Giants, Malcolm Gladwell, A great research based story of the rise of the underdog. Great, inspirational read (audio listen).
This draft has been sitting forever, a constant work in progress. Instead, I’ve decided simply to publish, as is, now.
Be the love of life
