Update – August 2026 I tore the WL Ancestors website down. ALL information on that website can now be found under Exploring > Genealogy. Also look to tags for specifics: ancestors, grandparents, great grandparents, great great grandparents, Leslie, Wallace, and so on. Last year I told you about my famous relatives. Now let me introduce…
Book Reviews
Reading Soothes My Soul (February 2019)
Here we are in February and I’m still reading. Over the holidays, I saved a few books from my sister’s house. She was going to donate the books; instead, they came home with me and will visit my friends – and then probably be donated. Full disclosure: I am an Amazon Affiliate. If you click…
Books for Christmas 2018
Essentially, this is a round up of all of the books I’ve read this year in one place. Think of it as a yearly review and as a way to figure out what books to give for Christmas. For even more book ideas for Christmas, check out the roundup of all of the books from…
Reading Soothes My Soul (December 2018)
It amazes me to no end that 2018 is almost over, and that I’ve barely posted on this blog. My recipe blog is going great guns, but here – where I share spiritual insights and books and other intriguing stuff – nothing. Sigh. I’ll keep writing here, that’s for sure as spirituality and books and…
Reading Soothes My Soul (September 2018)

Reading Soothes My Soul (July 2018)
Since my last reading roundup, my book time has slowed down. Maybe it’s the increase in the sunshine that makes me want to get up and do things (hello Vitamin D!) or maybe it’s because I actually HAVE been doing more things: I learned Reiki. I learned Quantum Healing Hypnosis Therapy. I started working on…
Reading Soothes My Soul (April 2018)
Every so often, I take time to reflect on the books I’ve read. I read like the house is on fire, like I’m running a sprint, like there will never be enough time to read all of the books I have stacked in my house. 200 of those books are cooking related, and I created…
Reading Soothes My Soul – January 2018
Every so often, I take time to reflect on the books I’ve read. Reading is an escape, a pleasure, and quite often a journey into another world. When I read fiction, I find myself being an omnipotent ‘goddess’ tagging along beside the protagonist, second guessing their every move and thought. I clearly envision the surrounding…
