I love to read books about the soul, books that inspire one to slow down and smell the roses and be in the present, books about Mother Nature and books about the spiritual path.

But alas, these seldom make it to the shelves of the major book retailers in my part of town, so I’ve been shipping 2 copies of every book that I will read from Amazon. They’re all stacked up on a shelf right now and in March will move into a nice old house where my ‘unofficial’ bookstore will be.

It’s only my second morning and I’m starting to like it. Well, the first 10 minutes or so is always a struggle, but after that, thoughts just come on one after the other. All I do is simply write them down.

I threw a dinner for 10 (including myself) on X’mas eve. I started early, around 10am, hoping to have enough time to cook everything in time. The menu includes a french onion soup, roasted tomatoes, tartiflette, vinegar chicken, grilled rosemary lamb and apple pie. My girlfriend did a special drink and salad on the side.

Hehe, despite a little accident with the apple pie, everything else went pretty well. I did finish cooking in time and everyone loved the food!

My confidence has certainly built up through this and guess what? I’d be throwing another dinner party this Saturday ;)
