Comments on: Are You Interested In Winning Eight Award Winning #Books? https://anempoweredspirit.com/books/ Cathy Chester, MS Advocate shares decades of wisdom Sun, 30 May 2021 21:08:51 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9 By: Julia https://anempoweredspirit.com/books/#comment-29846 Sat, 30 Jun 2018 19:33:53 +0000 http://anempoweredspirit.clients.kidaweb.com/2016/08/30/books/#comment-29846 When my peonies bloomed I thought of you. I was going to gather some and take a picture. But then it rained. And rained. 5 inches of rain later, the looms were gone. Deep sadness.

But that’s kind of like life, isn’t it? Sometimes joyful and lovely things are short lived, and yet we can enjoy our memories of them for a long time.

I would love to read any of your books; they all sounded good! 😊

Here goes: I'm a book head. Love love love 'em. And, like you, Cathy, I too am sensitive and sentimental about people, places and things. This is why my garage looks the way it does, and my home office bookshelf is sagging under the weight of my books. But, I also know that you can't be too rich, too thin (well, uh, yeah you can), and you can't have too many books. One day soon, however, the downsizing process must begin for me . . .

Then when I do, I'm rewarded with clarity of mind and the entrance of new possibilities! Good luck to you, and what a generous way to go about it!

We thought we were downsizing but with the death of my FIL a couple of months ago, find ourselves living downstairs from my MIL, who at 90 is not coping well. Our life has taken a turn which we thought would happen but it isn't easy. I love the choice of your books and wish I lived in the US. We have a library full so perhaps I could do as you are doing.

Books are the hardest thing for me to let go of. I always try to find a way to find them new homes that will love them. Donation has been a great route for us, too. Passing on something wonderful to someone who might not otherwise be able to enjoy it is a great feeling.

This is a great selection, and the winner will be so lucky! Angle of Repose is one of my favorite books ever.

You can enter me too. We downsized and it's actually very freeing. Although, I've moved a lot in my life, so I guess I'm used to it. Good luck with everything.

So sorry to hear you are having a difficult time letting go. I KNOW that it comes more easily to some of us than others. One thing I did when downsizing when it came to my books was for me to donate them to a lending library near where I lived. I always felt that I could then go and visit them any time I wanted AND that they would now serve as gifts for more people than sitting in my closet. I hope that on the other side of this big change there are some plans for something wonderful. I don't remember reading why the decision was made but am hoping it will lead to something even better. That's just the way I roll. ~Kathy
