“The Power Of Now” - Eckhart Tolle.
It helped me quiet my mind.
"The Fountainhead" by Ayn Rand. This helped me argue it was okay to be "only thinking about myself". It was also the beginning of a journey to understand I was being controlled, and that accusation had been a way to guilt me into bending to the other's will.
The Bible
I spent hours and hours reading the encyclopedia as a child, plus all the childhood classics, the Mother West Wind stories by Thornton Burgess, the Lad stories by Albert Payson Terhune, and of course Nancy Drew. Moved on to Mary Stewart, Austen, the Brontës, Wharton, James, Galsworthy, Shakespeare, Twain, Hemingway, and more, plus mythology, history, poetry, biography.
They ALL influenced me and still do, as have many more recent reads.
What Dreams May Come by Richard Matheson. I thought it was beautiful how he described life after death.
I didn't know that was a book, but the film helped me get through a heart wrenching loss. Highly recommended. 🙏❤️
@warped Book is a must read. The way he writes and describes things is beyond what the movie could project!
Wow, I can't imagine -- the movie was riveting, and such a feast for the eyes. I was shocked that the woman nominated for some facet of the visual effects didn't win. She'd been my client at the spa the night before the awards, just days after a kind friend had taken me to see it.
