I know in a previous post I briefly mentioned the amazing book I had come across, Tuesdays With Morrie. This is the most powerful and inspiring book I believe I have ever come across. I do have 2 more copies to send out to Erin and Mel so just hang on girls!
I felt like I had to share this book with everyone I know...my dear friend Jen just got the copy that I mailed to her. Her words capture the essence of this book eloquently, so please go here; http://spaces.msn.com/members/rendevousjuje/to read what she has to say.
In some way I wanted to share this book with everyone, but the thoughts and feelings and words that came to mind were very personal and I am selfishly keeping them for myself. For those of you who have read it or are going to read it I will gladly discuss this with you. I just don't feel like posting it on the internet...
I can't wait to get my copy back so I can re-read it, and pass it on to another who I know will appreciate the inspiration that was Morrie.

Hey Jen, when I'm down in Vancouver, along with Erin and hopefully Mel, we'll have to have an evening of wine sipping, and discussion of the book -and how it affected us each individually, and what it made us feel/think.

I'm not afraid to keep it in - Its taught me a lot.
Looking forward to seeing you
Love u
Jen

I think that sounds good..
I'm not afraid.. for me it's just one of those things that I want to share among close friends.. as a dialogue.. not a monologue :)

Hey Jen,

I checked my mail today and still no book! Are you sure you got my address right?

good story. I truly enjoyed it and have been inspired, as a teacher, to be a better teacher and to love my students more. thank you for sending it on!

Jen said...

Hey Karyn,
Same address I used for your Christmas card.. odd! Maybe they thought it was a book bomb and sequestered it :P

Hope you get it soon! :)

Hey Jen, I got your book today. Turns out the delay was because you didn't write in the apartment number. But someone at the post office was smart and figured it out I guess.

Anyways, thanks for the book! I was sorely lacking in new reading material and had thought about picking up Tuesdays with Morrie awhile ago.
