Wealthy Knowledge

Books.

I recently bought several books from Amazon about parenting and a few about death and dying, including one that I am excited about getting in the mail that has factual research completed discussing life after death. In this life there is not a lot of time for us to be twiddling our thumbs, or getting balls-deep into shit that doesn't matter, i.e. Facebook, fictional movies, video games, internet browsing, etc. We all know what wastes our time, we just choose not to recognize it because we are comfortable where we are and what we are doing. My husband has been a book-worm for this past year now, and it truly inspires me to see him gaining all of this knowledge that it makes me want to start on myself as well.

Lately, after doing some self-reflecting with my husband, I have interests right now in; the 'Death Industry', the after-life, history, and parenting. Sort of a weird combo, but I suppose that it can be seen as learning about the start of life and learning about the end of life. I can tell you that I am EXTREMELY excited to learn more and to continue buying books. I would be SO OVERJOYED if my Eye Doctor can fix my vision to where I am able to read for a long period of time, that would be PERFECTION to me!

If you are interested in the 'Death Industry', I would recommend reading "Smoke Gets in your Eyes - & Other Lessons from the Crematory" by Caitlin Doughty.

She brings examples of what she has learned in the Crematory/Mortuary and life experiences with a humor to what would seem like a morbid situation. Totally my cup-o'-tea. Love it!

It is rainy today... and all the college students are out on Spring Break, including my Boss. I am here though, manning-down-the-fort. I will be reading :)

Ciao!
