Lately, I've needed a spiritual boost. Lucky me, I just returned from an inspiring and centering trip to the water and mountains of Haines followed by a sweet drive back home through incredible British Columbia, the Yukon Territory and Alaska (so obviously "God's country"). I've also been reading and re-reading some important-to-me sources of inspiration and wisdom. They are:
The Four Agreements, by Don Miguel Ruiz
** This one has given me so much clarity. I just wrote out the main tenets and hung them on the bathroom wall so I can see them every morning and night while I brush my teeth.
Gift From the Sea, by Anne Morrow Lindberg
** Such a beautiful, succinct collection of essays for women or any human beings interested in remembering a fulfilling and peaceful way of being in this seemingly manic world. Clare and I read it out loud to each other in Haines.
The Artist's Way: a Spiritual Path to Creativity, by Julia Cameron
** This book is perfect for artists or anybody who wants to find/rediscover their purpose and passion. It's set up so you read a chapter a week then do tasks - sometimes extremely challenging, usually fun, always insightful - and do some daily writing. Very cool.
And now I'm reading for the first time, Mutant Message Down Under, by Marlo Morgan.
** Cillian gave me this one. It meant something big to him when he read it a few years ago, and I remember Mom and Dad reading it for the first time and being equally excited about it. It's an interesting story, so far.

Just looking through that list of books, have you ever read or considered reading The Secret History of the World by Jonathan Black? It's the history of mankind told through ancient beliefs and mystic societies, and i thought you might enjoy it.
You sound like you have the most wonderful life and are a truly lovely person. :)
