Fave Books: All Time

The fave best book ever Harper Lee's "To Kill A Mockingbird".

Every since I can remember reading this.. this book is so full of tragedy and yet so full of hope and blessings. Atticus Finch was and has been my hero of all time next to Gandhi.
I simply adored Atticus for his bravery and for this spirit and for his passion for justice and put what is right to place.

Other books that had a hold on me...not counting the series of Nancy Drews and Hardy Boys and all the science fiction books that I love and read by Guy Gavriel Kay and David Eddings and of course indisputable Shakespeare are as listed below:


The Monk Who Sold A Ferrari - Ravi Sharma
By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept -Paulo Coelho
The Island - Victoria islop
The Magic of Thinking Big - David Schwartz
Warrior Of The Light: A Manual - Paul Coelho
Blink - Malcolm Gladwell

You go a hold on me ... by Shania Twain... this song is in my mind right now as I recall all these wonderful memories.

RELEASING MONEY WORRIES

I RELEASE all the hang ups about money and not having much saved in the bank.
I RELEASE all the worries that I ave in not having enough of money to do this and that.
I RELEASE that part of me who wants to forgo my travel plans as a way to save my money.
I RELEASE all financial burdens, worries and misgivings.

Instead

I am FOCUSING on the part that I am BLESSED with money sense.
I am FOCUSING on the part that money comes freely to me. In that what I spend out is 3 times what I will receive each day.
I am FOCUSING that money is coming to me in abundance.
I am reaping all the  money, promotion and success day by day.
In fact I know that I was born in money and I will live my life happily with a lot of money
