June 2020 Update.
My ONLY favorite is found within. It is All. It is the way to everything! Whatever you see, look at, hear, take in in any way… run it through YOU and only keep the parts that are true for you. You Know! Remember!
I learned in various ways from favorites list below (years ago now) – that is for sure. The majority of it is still beautiful stuff that blessed me (well, it all blessed me), but, some of it is false light, or, at least, came from false inspiration (actual darkness pretending). There is an astounding amount of false light out there. After only focusing on the light for so many many years, the dark showed me so much more. Upon returning to the light, the falseness sort of dropped away. Both are essential in the journey. I now find the adventure much more interesting to say the very least. Some light is pushed around by darkness, but it still shines through… so, I’m grateful for all aspects, angles and varying degrees of truth, light, illusion and darkness.
I would add many more new reads and adventures here that have blessed me over the years since listing these… but I just feel like the synchronicities and nudges in each of our own lives drives us to our true favorites in whatever moment we’re in with perfection. Wishing you the connection to the Universe Hugs meant for you!
I wish everyone a desire for truth that leads to eyes wide open (with a functioning pineal gland) and gentle awakenings along the way. Happy unlearning, de-programing and awakenings to us all! Sending love to every corner of the Universe and beyond.

Live What You Know 
I’ve read 7 of the books you listed here and they were all inspiring. My favorite of the ones I’ve read was “The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success”. Seeing it listed here makes me want to read it again. Or maybe I should check out one of the other titles you mention here. And if you haven’t read it, “Proof of Heaven” is another very inspirational book. Celeste 🙂

Wow, we should have book club! 🙂 You are so right about The Seven Spiritual Laws, always a great read…makes me want to pick it up again as well. The kids are always reading the children’s version. We also like the parents version…so we often discuss the laws and apply one to each day (as the parent version suggests). Wanted to tell you that I am really enjoying your work and appreciate the inspiration to be even more plant strong in our vegan diet. We changed to all vegan (food that is) over four years ago and little convenience habits do sneak in…so the inspiration is needed and appreciated! 🙂 Thanks for the suggestion on Proof of Heaven! 🙂

Hello Sister. I miss you. I have been reading your thoughts here for about a year now. I didn’t know though if i would upset you so i waited and prayed and thought about reaching out to you and finally worked up the courage. i really miss you. I don’t know if you are ready or willing but i believe you and i both have some healing to do and possibly some of it could be done together. I have so many things i need to tell you
i am astounded at how much of our genetics have peeked through into our lives making us so similar in so many ways. Books have been my biggest tool in healing and knowing and forming who i am trying to become. I see that you use them in almost exactly the same manner. Books have taken me through some extremely rocky times and some i read over and over again and even write down my favorite words in places that i can find them often. The way you describe books is so creative and so breathtakingly beautiful. I am so proud of you and feel like you have been through more than anyone should have to go through. Also i am worried about your health. Are you better now? Anyway sister i just need you to know that your words have brought so much meaning and healing to my heart mind and soul. Thank you for who you are and who you are becoming. You are a bright shining star of a woman and mother, probably wife too. You do your absolute best at everything and i look up to you so much. Thank you for all this beauty that you have created. Bye for now. I really would love to see you on face book. I sent you a friend request. Maybe we could just slowly get to know each other a little. But i will let you decide. Take your time and keep up the awesome creations. I love you Stacy forever!!!!

It’s been years since this comment from my big sister was written on my blog. I didn’t really recognize the voice in it at the time and I wasn’t quite sure what to make of it. I am approving it today, four years later, simply so it can be ‘alive’ here … sadly, my sister, passed before we were able to connect. She had a short and tough life here. I wish it could have been different – I always wished I could have my sister – mine ‘struggled’ all of my life. It was a tough dynamic to say the least. Today, I let her words shine and I do so with gratitude to her for reaching out. I love you Vicky! I will work with you to heal! Thank you for these words and sharing that you’d like to. I know you’re still around and in a much better situation now – a frequency of LOVE situation. I send you the most heartfelt love today and All Ways! -Stacy
