A New Earth, really?

What's Jack up to? Well he still needs a haircut but he's no longer a stinky dog. Thank goodness. Check out the video at the end to see how nutty Jack is when wet. He just hates it, but does he have to dry off on my couch?

Thanks to all of you who visited yesterday!

The whole Love and Consequences memoir hoax discussion was really great and very important. Feel free to continue to share you thoughts.

The more I thought about the whole subject, the angrier I got. And what really got to me was the underlying exploitism of the races that I saw there. The fact that Jones thought somehow that her lie was justified because she was giving a voice to people who didn't have one. Ugh. Talk about a big ego. As if she was somehow more qualified to write the story than say a real girl who grew up in that time and that environment. Pluh-ease.

Speaking of ego. I watched the Oprah webcast of A New Earth and about five minutes into it I was pleasantly surprised at how many points spoke to me.

They talked about ideas like getting out of your head and stillness and stopping the mental noise which is something that I've been striving for especially with the stress in my life and my migraines. They also addressed those who were struggling with the tough 1st chapter of the book. See we are not alone! It does get easier. Another thing addressed was all the questions people had about dealing with this book along with their religion which was a real issue for me as a Christan. More to come.

I won't recommend this as something you must read or listen to and follow because that's not for me to do and I'm still working on myself and how to incorporate these thoughts into my life and my beliefs, but I would recommend going to Oprah's site and watching some of the webcast. It's up there now for anyone to watch. That way you can judge for yourself. If you're reading the book it made it a lot easier to understand. I was so not feeling on the same planet as Tolle when I was just reading. Now I think I may be. I do like they he said he didn't want to be any ones Guru. I always question those that want to lead and have power. go judge for yourself and feel free to come back here and chat.

Oh, Did any one see Paris Hilton hanging out with a shaman and giving away diamond necklaces? What up with dat? Discuss amongst yourselves. I just can't...
