The TOP TEN Books for New Age Nerds

After nearly a week of impending DOOM on the news casts for those of us in the Mid-Atlantic region, the first few flakes from SNOWMAGEDDON are finally upon us!  Bread and water-check!  Flashlights, candles, and batteries- ditto! Sand, shovels, and TOILET PAPER....  Heck yeah!

Given that barely an inch of the fluffy stuff basically paralyzed the nation's capital earlier in the week,  I shutter to think what 25-30 inches may do!   As if evidence needed to be produced, a trip this morning to the local grocery store would have made a terrific pilot for a new reality TV show.   Grown men literally 'posting up' in front of the bread and water aisles.  Women hastily nabbing what was left of the poor produce as though they were in a 'grab and snag' contest.  My patience was beyond tested when I went to grab the last green pepper in the vegetable bin. (hey, snow and chili rock!)  A rather big boned individual was standing near me, and as if performing in a Vegas magic show, snatched said pepper and had it securely fastened in a plastic bag before I had time to blink!!    Rather impressive, actually.  He then turned and briskly walked away, no doubt to perform several other 'tricks' in the store before leaving!!  Time for me to exit, stage left.........

Time now to hunker down, and settle in with a glass of vino and a few good books.  At the very least, I figure this is all great practice for the Zombie apocalypse yet to come.  ;0)

SO.........  ‘Let it snow, let it snow.....let it snow.....!!’

In case you, too, will be one of the 50 million people affected by this SNOWPOCALYPSE, I thought I would suggest some of the books in my personal collection that over the years have become seminal influences on my own Hero's Journey.  So here is my list of the TOP 10 titles (all available on Amazon) that I believe would make excellent additions to any New Age Nerd's bookshelf:

1)  Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsh

2)  Seat of the Soul by Gary Zukav

3)  Beyond the Secret by Dr. Lisa Love

4)  Callings by Gregg Levoy

5)  Pathway to Bliss  by Joseph Campbell

6)  The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield

7)  A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle

8)  Power vs Force by David Hawkins

9)  The Four Desires by Rod Stryker

10)  Man's Search for Meaning by Victor Frankel

It is my wish that at least One of these titles will have the ability to stir your own Souls's ‘secret sauce.’  Or perhaps ignite a dormant desire deep within your being.  As you peruse the list, see if anything jumps out at you, or somehow feels familiar.  After all, your feelings are the guideposts to your soul.  Ya never know,  for as they say, ‘the teacher appears when the student is ready’.  IF something resonates, consider class IN SESSION!

Stay safe and warm this weekend!
