Smile Books i've read and loved

Great advice Steph! As always. Vicky, I'm often asked what books I would recommend. So I have a list. And it is my honor to share them with you and all who may be interested.

BTW, I've proved the oncs wrong. I have become their miracle patient. And the nurses' as well. EVERY THOUGHT IS A PRAYER. EVERY PRAYER IS A POTENTIAL MIRACLE.

YOU ARE FAR BRAVER AND MORE COURAGEOUS THAN YOU EVER THOUGHT. YOU ARE AN EMPOWERED SPIRIT, I SWEAR...!

I started with Dr. Mitchell Gaynor's (Integrative Oncologist in Manhattan) HEALING ESSENCE, but I believe you have to call his office to order it, if it is even still available. 212 - 472 - 2828
From the moment I read the first page -- I KNEW I would live!

Then I fell in love w/Dr. Wayne Dyer...
Your Sacred Self
You'll Believe It When You See It
Wisdom of the Ages
The Power of Intention
There's a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem
Manifest Your Destiny
The Nine Principles of Getting Everything You Want
Secrets of Your Own Healing Power

Eckhart Tolle:
A New Earth
The Power of Now

The Travelers Gift -- Andy Andrews
Seat of the Soul -- Gary Zucav

Healing Words -- Caryn Goldman

Kitchen Table Wisdom -- Rachel Naomi Remen

Dr. Larry Dossy:
Healing Words
Healing Beyond the Body
Reinventing Medicine
Recovering the Soul

May these authors words inspire you as they have me. I read with a red pen in hand, underlining, starring. I see them s tomes of wisdom...
