Books I loved reading...

I started reading veeery early, some of my early memories are Peter Rabbit, Pooh Bear and a  story book with  Fairies.
Because I grew up with an older and a younger brother I got to read Karl May, Jules Verne and the like.
I still remember when my mother gave me one of her books, I must have been 10, Gone with the Wind.
Well after all the boys books it was definitely something different and it took me a long time to start reading this one but once I started I could not stop. Later as a young woman I read this book again and took a lot of courage from it.


Once when I was ill my father came home with a book just for me, what a treat!!!   Little Women by Mary Alcott, which is still  my absolute favorite book , and my favorite character was Jo!
Jo is a very unconventional person, a free spirit if you wish, she has a big heart and is the writer to be, she would always withdraw into the attic to write equipped with apples...


In the years I have read many books but I will always remember these two fondly...


Happy Holidays everyone!

It was the second time I had to put a beloved friend to rest and it doesn't get any easier! But I do know he is with his sister now who crossed the Rainbow Bridge last year. As I was cleaning the house, washing  his blankets etc today I couldn't help but thinking of life cycles; if you do Numerology you do know that we go through different cycles in life.  Well, since yesterday when I arrived back home I had this sudden feeling that a life cycle was completed, not only because of the passing of my dog.  The last few years for me were all about death, death of my pets, my husband, but also death in a spiritual way, letting go of many thoughts and thought pattern, letting go of many previo...
