"Feel Good" review of the month

The Enneagram is a delightful read, to the point and written as a series of letters between patients and psychologist, Simon Parke.  It explains "The Enneagram", a chart depicting the nine human character traits.
It is a work in progress, invented 1500 years ago, and has evolved over the centuries.   It allows the reader to find their "number" or character trait and then advises on how to face one's own demons and change certain attitudes in order to achieve a more balanced life.

It is very accurate in it's description of me, anyway, 'spookily' so. I realized very soon into the book what my number was; and was surprised with the quality of advice offered!

A no-nonsense guide to how some of our traits influence our lives and how to change with the minimum of effort (suits me)

So friends, I know most of your already live a rich, fulfilled life, but if not (like me) I reccommend you add it to your 'bucket-list'. Happy reading

Money is a tool, like all other tools, designed to facilitate and enhance our lives. It is the most desirable tool of all ! Money is not a commodity that will run out eventually, for as long as someone somewhere is selling a product or service, new money will be made. Like the universe, it is infinite...there is enough for everyone and the more people have it the more others will benefit from it. It can't buy everything, of course, as not everything is for sale - but when it is not available it leaves a void in our lives that seems almost impossible to fill.

Almost impossible...unless we concentrate on the most precious things we have, like family, friends, our ability to walk, to see the wonderful sights around us, to smell the morning dew in springtime, to meet a friend for a drink and chat, to wake up in a warm sunny morning...and to think that all these things are FREE...

Life is truly wonderful :)
