My AAA

I found an amazing author (AAA).  She is thought provoking, and makes me think outside the box.  The box of what I have learned in life through parents, religion, and just people around me. I'm on my second book by her, and I'm scouring thrift stores, resale bookstores in Twin Falls, to start my collection. I only keep certain authors, and the rest i trade off.  I am currently keeping Ted Dekker, Nicolas Sparks, Janet Evonovich, and now Jodi Picoult.  It is so funny as I look at that list the reasons that I love each one of them. They are all so different, but all have touched me deeply that i can't bear to give them away or even resale them! Reading is such great part of who I am. The first novel I read from her was 19 Minutes. Jodi Picoult, has a way of looking at angles of life that made me realize we always, ALWAYS, should not judge others, that there is always another side to stories we think we know things about. If for no other reason that is why a human being should be reading, to learn, to ingest, and to change our lives around what we have learned. Thank you Jodi Picoult for making my mind, my heart, and my soul a better place!!

Inspiration Smacked Me in the Head!

I had a dear relative, on Facebook request names for her new blog. BOY that got the juices flowing. I'm sure my random titles made her cringe, but she got me thinking of that blog I started a year earlier, from another dear friend's suggestion.

I re-read the blog I wrote, and thought, HOLY SMOKES, that was a year ago, and how things have changed!!! Tori has gotten married, and she is expecting our first grandbaby!  Im still reeling from all these changes. I get extra time with her this summer because her husband Zack is in bootcamp.  So as our bond grows, so does her tummy! Im sure I will be taking pictures as we go.  Hannah just finished the 4th grade, and she had the worst year ever. We had so many lessons in courage and perseverance this year it was crazy. My sweet funny Hannah made it through, and I am so very very proud of her.

So this is my first of, hopefully, many random posts from the craziness in my head. Thanks Karen for the bump to do this! Thanks Connie for starting the push about a year ago!!!
