Permission to Feel sounds like a book that may be very helpful for me. Adding it to my Overdrive to listen on audiobook right now! Linking my recent reads, if interested!

I like the look of the NF books for March. I have Self Compassion on audio by Kristin Neff, must get back to it, I abandoned it at some point!

Had to smile when I read that we can better deal with pain if we tell ourselves “the sensations are real, but temporary.” Reminded me of childbirth and the LaMaze techniques that were so popular decades ago. That quote is exactly what I told myself during contractions! To this day I believe that attitude helps. And for any painful procedures, I still pull out the LaMaze breathing techniques from my memory bank!

I can imagine Lynn’s book would be a very nice read – her writing really sparkles in the FB group. Love letter to God is a charming and inspiring way to think of written prayer.

The expectations book looks right up my street so I will go directly to your review!

Me: camping with a stack of Woosters – perfect comfort reading for me, and a history of Jazz for when laughing out loud is not appropriate.

The Expectation Effect sounds interesting. It definitely makes sense!

Oh I talk to my family about the Expectation Effect often; in psychology we call it a self-fulfilling prophecy and it’s amazing how much our minds and thoughts control our outcomes. I’m definitely going to have to read that one! These all sound like great books.

In reply to Joanne Viola.

Funny, Joanne, I didn’t know about my book either! I began as a vocal major, and hated teaching music after graduation (though I still love singing and perform in a Bach chorus); I landed in nonprofit administration professoinally, and we were too poor to hire writers, so I just started writing their newsletters, press releases, grant proposals, training manuals, etc. I didn’t think about it, because writing came naturally. However, that is a far cry from publishing a book with a mainline Christian publishing house. God took me on a long, circuitous journey, and I have found that as we surrender to Him, we never know where His road will lead, but it’s always eventually homeward bound. Journaling chronicles our inner journeys. If you don’t do it, I hope that you will. One of my mantras, as Lisa, puts it is my own: “A life worth living is worth recording.” Another quote of mine is that “Word shapers are world shapers.” I pray God is shaping your life, pen in hand.

In reply to Lauren Sparks. Yes, your priorities are in the right place in your season of life, Lauren. Yet it is amazing to me how much I can finish in just little snatches of time throughout the day. It adds up! You'll have more time later. :)
