The New Earth
Have you heard of the book "The New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle? Oprah is doing a webinar about this book every Monday night with millions all over the world participating. Tolle and Oprah disect another chapter in his book once a week.
Tolle's message is simple.....be present in the now. Stop thinking about the past and stop making plans for the future. It's a powerful message to embrace.
I am trying to do it for my writing. It can be a challenge as a mom writer (trying to think of story ideas while doing puzzles with a toddler is not allowed...do one but not both at the same time.) The reward is that you will be present and able to enjoy each activity in the moment that it is happening.
Is anyone else tuning in on Monday nights?

Not tuning in only because I don't watch much TV. I was just thinking about this sort of thing the other day, because I do it all the time: try to think about stuff, rather than mentally be with the kids. I'll have to check this book out. Thanks for the heads up.
