sunny, thanks for the book ideas. several sound good, particularly Personal Village. The Call of Stores... sounds very good too. I'll have to write these down as I am in the middle of about a half dozen books. I order them and get so excited when they come that I have to delve into them. Ok sometimes but I have too many going at the moment.

I just started Love's Executioner. I like the way Yalom writes and I love his depth and warmth.

I'm so glad you like Pema Chodron!
