Inspired Reading
A Promised Land
This human gives me all the good feels! Yes, I voted for him. Yes, I am only 60 pages into this book because I am a hardcore fiction readers. When I read it, I hear his voice. And it makes me happy. And we all need happy!
by Barack Obama
East of Eden
I did love Of Mice and Men. Tackling East of Eden because I’m trying to read “The Classics” and educate myself on the beautiful state of California.
by John Steinbeck
One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest
by Ken Kesey
Again, tackling the classics. This one has been a little slow for me. I struggle with immersing myself into a time in mental health when humans were treated, well inhumanely. I think and hope that we have come a very, very long way.

My interest in healing from death and trauma led me to this beautiful book about culture, loss, and identity. Written about a time in which people’s hate for each other was fueled by war and politics…sound familiar?
