Archive for January, 2010

Happy New Year! I am anticipating 2010 will be an excellent year for me, and I am hoping a great year for my friends and family, and America. I encourage everyone this year to remember those you love and keep them close. Keep in touch with loved ones and live every day with all of your passion, courage, and happiness. The world may not be ending in 2012, but every day we grow closer to the end. So why waste your time here on this wonderful Earth?

I had relatives on the flight from Amsterdam to Detroit on Christmas day, the flight that had an attempted terrorist attack. I saw these relatives just a few days later as they came to visit for the holidays. Safe and sound. I’ve read numerous accounts of the attack and they were lucky, blessed, and of course, are happy to be safe at home. They will be flying again soon. They will continue to live their lives, because you can’t live a life in fear of the unknown. What kind of a life is that?

Live your life as amazingly, awesomely, happily, courageously as you can. Be the extreme and love, love, love.

And since this is a book blog, I wanted to share with you a book that I know will be a great read. I can’t wait to get my hands on it, especially now. David Levithan‘s, Love Is the Higher Law, a novel about the lives of three teenagers during the events of 9/11. I really enjoy Levithan’s other novels, and know this will be a wonderful book.

Happy New Year!
