Talking of Pema Chodron, I bought a CD of hers today!!!!! I love it!!! I find it hard to concentrate on books (other than novels which I read in bed before I go to sleep) and I have a bunch of wonderful books on meditation and other such things which I have never read more than a few pages of I do a fair bit of reading online, but not books, mainly articles or excerpts. So, it occurred to me that buying some CDs of these books might be the way to go! That way I can listen to them in the car and even when I'm out hiking with my dogs!! So today I bought Pema Chodron's CD on "Unconditional Confidence. Instructions For Meeting Any Experience With Trust and Courage". And I've listened to some of it and it's wonderful!!

I'm excited about listening to more and to "reading" other such books in this way!!

I did buy one other book while I was at the book store (got to support my local Barnes and Noble!!! It's Thich Nhat Hanh's Meditations on Transforming Difficult Emotions. This looks like the kind of book that I will be able to read because it's a series of short meditations, rather than pages and pages of small type (which I typically find hard to focus on).

I will look forward to sharing with you!!
