Two Great Reads

Two Great Reads: Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg and Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell.

Diary of A Wimpy Kid - Dog Days

My young man is a big fan of the Diary of A Wimpy Kid book series. I like the books too. ;) The other day we watched the movie Dog Days.

Mumintrollen

Grandma found Mumintrollen books at Borders' today. Wow! Gonna love Borders! :)

You & Me

"..we all have the power of choice in determining who we ultimately become."

Chris Gardner,
Start Where You Are

What A Week

What a week. My young man lost his first tooth (big thing for him), my cousin graduated from High School (big thing for her), and we attended a very nice birthday party.

I bought Chris Gardner's book "Start Where You Are," but as always it's hard to find time to read. I put the book in my bag so I can read whenever I've a couple of minutes on my hand. I think this book will be very rewarding to read. Chris Gardner is a big inspiration for me. His life story is amazing (can be read (or watched) in his biography: The Pursuit of Happyness).

The heat is back. At this moment it's cooler to be indoors than outside.

I hope you all had a great weekend. So you're refreshed for a new week.

Women & Money

After listening to one of Suze Orman's weekly show on CNBC a couple of weeks ago, I decided yesterday to start reading her book "Women & Money: Owning the Power to Control Your Destiny". I've only read through chapter 3 so far, but I've already learned a thing or two. The book is written like Suze talks, so as I'm reading it, I can hear Suze talking..

"Say You're One of Them"

I came across reviews of the book "Say You're One of Them" by Uwem Akpan on Internet. This is a book I want to read asap. You can listen to an excerpt from the last story of the book called "My Parents' Bedroom." I'll make sure to tune in on Monday eve, November 9, when Oprah has a live web event with the author, Uwem Akpan, and CNN's Anderson Cooper.

"Life Lessons for Busy Moms"

Almost a year ago I got this book from a good friend. I glanced through it back then, but today I took the time to read it. A main point in the book is how important it is to have a balanced life. As a busy mom it is easy to prioritize everything else except your own needs to have a fabolous life. So a shut out to all moms: Make sure to do something you like every single day. You are worth it!
