This is a page dedicated to my favorite books!  I will, of course, be adding to the list as I discover new ones.  Please feel free to email me and let me know how you feel about the ones I have listed below, and if there are recommendations you would like me to check out .  I particularly enjoy books that pertain to women such as positive parenting, nutrition, alternative health care. 

For the Romantic

Soul Mates by Thomas Moore

This book is really hard to describe.  It is definently not fiction.  It is more of an exploration of love and relationships.  Moore dives deeply into areas such as family, marriage, friendship, romance, sex, and most of all the human soul.  This book is beautiful and incredible!  I will say that it is very deep and not what I would describe as easy reading, but it is worth the energy it takes to read it.

For the Health Concious

A Woman's Book of Yoga by Louise Taylor

This is a step-by-step journal.  She introduces new poses and breathing techniques with each chapter while focusing on easing tension and anxiety through good health and inner peace.  I usually start my day by doing a few of the poses from this book while my baby crawls around next to me.  You dont have to have any experience with Yoga to use this book.

The Pleasure Prescription by Paul Pearsall, PH.D.

This book shows you how to destress by adaptling the Polynesian way of life, aloha.  The guy that wrote this used to live a very stressfull life and got fed up.  He basically moved to the islands and decided to live his life the "oceanic" way.  I know that you are thinking if you could move to an island you wouldn't be stressed either, but he just talks about how to slow your life down and learn to enjoy things.  It really is an amazing book that I have read more than once.  It is very easy reading that will remind you of the important things in life!
