What If You Are the Monster?
I was reading an article this week about "The Monster At the End Of This Book." If you've never read it, you should. It turns 50 this year. It's fabulous. Sure, it's a kid's book but it's still fabulous. Grover from Sesame Street finds out that there is a monster at the end of his book. He gets scared and comes up with more and more complicated ways to prevent the reader from turning pages, hoping to not get to the end of the book. Of course, at the end, it turns out that Grover IS the monster at the end of the book.

Alchemy for Blind Boys and Men who Don't Like Gold
I reread The Alchemist this year and added it to the list of things that were going right. Below that list is another one far longer. Call me a pessimist. To fold the list in half as one does a jack knife would produce no more than a prick of a blade, and a long flat handle carved from elm—sturdy.

Tuesdays with Morrie Review: Lessons When Death Awaits
I read Tuesdays with Morrie as a 14-year-old. I reread it when I was 16. Then once again, now, when I am 21. This is a book that has stayed with me – I have underlined paragraphs that have settled in my heart, I have done the crime of folding the pages that were too good to be read only once, and I have left a sob mark on the pages that have left me in tears.

Dear Martha,
Dear Martha, I am well underway in my second week working through Martha Stewart’s Organizing, and I have some feelings. There were a number of tasks this week that involved spending money. I just couldn't swing that at this juncture. I did take to heart many of your other suggestions and I begrudgingly report that my life feels somewhat enriched. Outside of your out of touch suggestions that only wealthy people need to enjoy their piles of money, your organization tips are proving to be very beneficial.

The Night Owl
The Night Owl It was a beautiful night, when the blue light of the moon lingered on. The beautiful queen, the one poor lady with slim figure, and long beautiful black hair, never knew that she was meaningful. She always underestimated herself, but now...just now, she was wondering…

"Unfu*k yourself"
Life is about moments, brief and tiny moments that can fill our souls with peace or war. Can you imagine a world where you have no way to fight your emotions? A world where you have no control and are nothing but a victim of the circumstances. A world with no way out, where we are just roaming on a deep sea of feelings, memories, and past. It doesn't sound very comforting. Just the thought of you not controlling where you're going is enough to give you the chills. Imagine not being able to control what you think, how it affects you, or what you do about it. Does it sound hard?

Books That Can Change Lives
I just ordered them to increase my English skills for my blog writing, but these books, in a true sense, are “magical.” I bought them with no intentions to change my life, but they are. I started doing things for my financial and personal growth, and it's mystical.
