On the Bookshelf– September 15, 2011

This week I’ve been reading a book that was a holiday gift to me from my Mom, “Oil for Your Lamp: Women Taking Care of Themselves” by Lisa Hammond & BJ Gallagher. It’s a wonderful little book, perfect for your bedside table, that reminds us to take the time and create the space to care for ourselves. Filled with beautiful images, poems, and thought-provoking passages, this gem of a self-care book will inspire you to think more deeply about how to truly be fulfilled as a woman. One of my favorite quotes from the book is on the back cover– “To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it” by Mother Teresa. I hope you enjoy the book as much as I am!
