Here are 3 summer reads to inspire you. The first two I bought in paperback, just for the joy of being able to use physical books instead of my Kindle - which is useful, but a completely different reading experience. I hope you enjoy my book choices, and please feel free to comment and recommend some of your own.
In Your Hidden Light - a personal guide to creating your desired life - Raana Zia pulls on personal experience and the wisdom of spiritual teachers to give us this modern and relevant approach to manifestation and co-creation. An insightful and informative read for anyone on the spiritual journey.
Nobody every said life was easy, or even fair, so sometimes it can be hard not to get bogged down when difficulties head our way or when the world seems to have gone nuts. In Goodness Abounds, Sarah Lawrence, along with a lot of other writers share daily stories of goodness abounds - goodness and kindness shared by everyday people in everyday situations. A lovely book to have handy, read a page per day, and be uplifted by the fact that goodness abounds and is truly still with us!
This is a book review of The Boy Who Knew Too Much by Cathy Byrd (the mother of Christian Byrd). Christian demonstrated past life recall of his life as Lou Gehrig. That may sound weird enough, but what if your child demonstrates past life recall and then states that you were also his mother in that past life! This book documents the journey of Christian and Cathy Byrd, a mother and son repeating their roles. Christian recalls accurate memories of being Lou Gehrig, the famous baseball player. Read on!

I recently read Tyler Henry's book, Between Two Worlds. Tyler is a young and talented medium - only 21 - raised in Hanford, CA and now finding himself Hollywood's go-to medium in LA. His accuracy during readings and his ability to make sense of the way energy is received from those who have passed on is masterful. For anyone wanting to learn how to connect with Loved Ones or simply to learn more about the phenomenon of mediumship, this book is a must.
When a card pull annoys you, it's probably time to perk up your ears and pay attention. Often we focus on cards that make us feel lovely or uplifted in some way, that completely resonate.
Sometimes, though, the most important card is the one that pisses us off, annoys us or challenges us. Judith Orloff's Power of Surrender oracle card deck helps us with these sticky issues.

The road to spiritual awakening can take many paths. Like me, you can be visited by visions or energetic experiences and start asking why they are happening.
Or, like Eldon Taylor, the author of Choices and Illusions: How Did I Get Where I Am, and How Do I Get Where I Want to Be?, you can begin to question how your own perception of the world works...and just as importantly, how other people in the world are influencing you.
Maybe you practice yoga, but haven't tried Yoga Nidra yet? My yoga teacher introduced me to it. It's an amazing form of in-body meditation ideally to be practiced just after a yoga session. The meaning of Yoga Nidra is 'the art of body-sleeping'. Using body-talk, a good yoga nidra session will have you relax each part of the body in turn and then pay attention to energy flow. It's an amazing practice and very relaxing.
In celebration of International Women's Day and Women's History month, two books about an aspect of women in history that completely surprised me. More historical accounts about women, please, we are sorely lacking in these resources.
Who is your Soul Family and how can you connect with them? Sarah discusses the interesting spiritual concept that you may have connected with your soul family already and through rough and smooth they are bringing you home the lessons you are meant to learn in this life.
Della asked me to review her book Walking in Grace with Grief: Meditations for Healing After Loss since she felt some resonance with other posts and information I share on this site about connecting with our loved ones.
Della's son Rick passed when he lost control of his car on a mountain road near their family cabin.
What makes this book so different is Della's approach to dealing with the loss of a Loved One and how she chose to move through the stages of grief - walking in Grace indeed.
