Curly Hair in Media, etc.

Thumbnail
I remember hearing that the Millionaire Matchmaker made one of the girls straighten her hair, or she couldn't come back. I've battled with my hair for a long time, but have embraced the curliness (mostly) for a while now. I feel like to a certain extent, it's media, etc that we're battling more than our own hair. I still feel self-conscious about it sometimes, and I'm wondering where that comes from.It's…See More

Credo

I've decided to start a regular series on Sundays about religion, faith and spirituality. I will include books, songs, prayers, poems, and quotations from many different faiths.For this first Sunday, I want to share on of my favorite books: Credo by William Sloane Coffin. Rev. Coffin was a freedom rider, the chaplain at Yale for many years, and the long time pastor at Riverside Church in New York. This book is a collection of excerpts and quotations from Rev. Coffin's many sermons and speeches,…See More

Six-Word Memoirs

Has anyone read Six-Word Memoirs? I've heard several of them on NPR, and they also made an appearance in a sermon at my church a few weeks ago. I've yet to read it but I absolutely love the concept. How hard to sum up your life, or even your experience in only six words. Perhaps the first six-word memoir was "I came, I saw, I conquered."This…See More

Marginal Notes

Do you write in your books?



This seems to be a topic that people have strong feelings about.



First of all, I am not opposed to writing in books as a rule. I know some people who consider it to be an act of desecration. Others are willing to do it, but only in pencil. I have no such limits (except for my Bible, which has pages too thin for my beloved Pilot G-2s). I have no moral qualms with scribbling in the leaves of my current read, but the question is whether I really… Continue

Shelfari? Goodreads?

Posted on April 27, 2009 at 4:00pm 0 Comments

Does anyone have a page on Shelfari or Goodreads? I confess I have one on both, but I've been neglecting Goodreads for a while now. I started there and loved it! I added all the books I could think of, found some new interesting ones to read, and connected with a few friends. Then I was seduced by the flashy shelf widget of Shelfari and started adding books there, too. The only problem is, I don't really know anyone that uses Shelfari and so I don't have very many people to connect with there.… Continue

That's Funny, You Don't Look Buddhist

Posted on April 27, 2009 at 3:59pm 0 Comments

To continue my Sunday feature on spiritual writings and books, today I'm going to share a book about Buddhism. That's Funny, You Don't Look Buddhist: On Being a Faithful Jew and a Passionate Buddhist, by Sylvia Boorstein. It's the fascinating record of the faith journey of a Jewish woman who finds meaning and joy with Buddhism. As she becomes more involved with Buddhism, she continues to practices her Jewish faith as well. As a Christian who is intrigued by Buddhist practices, Boorstein's… Continue

What are YOU reading?

Posted on April 27, 2009 at 3:59pm 0 Comments

Since some people responding to a previous post that they did, in fact, also read multiple books at a time, I began to wonder what those books were. When you have multiple books going at once, are they all similar? Or are they different types of reading?



I usually have different kinds of books going at once. For example, currently, I am reading Revolutionary Road, Pen on Fire, Making It All Work, Creating True Peace, and The Well-Educated Mind. So that's a novel, a book about… Continue

Living Without Books

Posted on April 27, 2009 at 3:58pm 0 Comments

Thanks to Jess' reply regarding my previous post, I was forced to face an issue that will rapidly be before me. Packing. I graduate and move back to Texas in three weeks (eeek!) and so that means the apartment needs to start going into boxes. Some things like dishes, toiletries, and school supplies can't go in yet. So what to start with? Out of season clothes, games, and oh yeah-my shelves and shelves of books.



And there's the rub. My dad wants me to get packing and several friends… Continue
