GREAT AUTHOR: PARKER J PALMER

Recently I have been reading some books by Parker J. Palmer, a teacher, activist, writer, and mentor. He is a Quaker by faith and has a background in Education, Philosophy, and Sociology, my three favorite subjects right now. His books are great and an inspiration to anyone who is needing a "jolt" in helping them remember their inner selves, their true selves, and their birthright vocation. "The Courage to Teach" and "Let Your Life Speak" are my two favorite books, but he has written many others and you can get a taste by googleing his name on the internet.

About Me

I am an old soul, born in the wild and wonderful state of West Virginia, and proud of it! Living now in Lehi, Utah, I have a husband who is a musician and a stray cat named "Bad Cat!"; (we can't have pets where we live, but he is a wonderful orange cat who has adopted us and we love him and sneak him inside whenever we can). I am trying to figure out what I am supposed to do with my life, and currently I earn money by working at a family practice center as their receptionist. It is a crazy office environment there but I do enjoy the patients and love helping them. I also enjoy reading all kinds of good books, writing poetry, cooking, and learning about all of my children and step-children (we have 5).
