  • I Don’t Mind What Happens

    As I’ve talked about a few times now, I have been re-reading a book by Eckhart Tolle called “A New Earth”. It’s such a powerful book and it amazes me that I still get something out of it even on my 4th read of it.

    I read (listened) to a part of the book today that I really wanted to share. If you’ve been curious about the book but not sure if it was for you, now is your chance to listen to a short 20 minute clip from the book. My guess is you will be inspired by it and want to read the rest of the book.

    As much as I love this book, I will admit that reading and understanding what he’s talking about is far different than implementing it in your own life. I aspire to be an example of all the teachings of the book, but admit it will take a long time. Maybe the rest of my life. But even small steps along the way are good ones and at times, life changing.

    Just click on the image below to download the audio file. It will play on your computer, iPod, iPhone and most other music devices. You can also burn it to a CD.

    If you decide that you like it, head over to Amazon or Audible and get a copy for yourself. Please post your comments/opinions if you do listen.

  • New Wheels for 2011

    While the Radio Flyer Red Wagon we’ve been using has served us well, it has slowly been becoming a tight fit with the boys. Not only do they almost not fit anymore, but there’s no extra room to carry the diaper bag or snacks.

    So, enter the new “Tractor Wagon” (this is what Andrew calls it). It’s made to carry 1,000 lbs, so I’m pretty sure it will be up to the task of carrying the boys all the way through adulthood.

    But this one is so big, we realized today that it easily carts the boys around, Sydney and a few bags of daily necessities while we’re out.

    The down side? My legs are KILLING me from being the horse to this cart. But the kids loved it.

  • Repeat Book: A New Earth, by Eckhart Tollee

    This will be my 4th time reading this book. Over the last few years I’ve gotten into the habit of reading it every spring as a way to refocus and reorient my life. It has become my spring time morning run book. While haven’t actually started running in the morning yet, I plan to this week.

    And I’m happy to say that I started reading this book long before it was made popular by Oprah!
