E-Cubed
Posted on November 30, 2014 1 Comment
As if E-Squared wasn’t enough, E-Cubed is Pam Grout’s follow-up book on daily applications of proving to ourselves that we do, in fact, create our own reality each and every day. Yep, that’s right: that’s actually my own self I am talking to, literally, when I say, “Go ahead…make my day.”
Give each day your best shot
In E-Cubed, there are nine more experiments to easily play with that prove we are each individual manifestation mavens. They are simple yet profound, and you will feel your individual power, universal connection, and inherent cosmic value just as you are. You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain.
Each chapter is Manifestation 201 to the previous book’s Manifestation 101. This time there are again helpful lab sheets to help you prove, track, and understand your experience. There are also a ton of nifty quotes, which are helpful, connecting, and applicable. With the addition of anecdotal stories from the general population’s sharing of their first book’s experiences, the reader gets a broader perspective of just what can happen for their own self.
It’s not necessary to have read the first book before reading this one — but you would really be missing out on some other amazing stuff, so I encourage you to read both. Pam’s writing style is personable and engaging. After reading this book, I want to hang out with her even more, and together turn water into wine.
I received this book from Hay House in exchange for my honest opinion of it. Honestly, when this title became available I was so excited that I could barely stay inside my own skin! And it did not disappoint. Thanks, Pam. Thanks, Hay House.

The Power of No
Posted on November 17, 2014 2 Comments
This book is Basic Training for fully realizing our right to health, happiness, and abundance. The Power of No, by James Altucher and Claudia Azula Altucher is a flowing read that simultaneously gives permission to and reminds readers that choosing yourself is not at others’ expense.
Every No is actually a Yes: saying no to what does not serve you says yes to your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health. This in turn supports your core personal power, which you are then able to unleash on the world for its betterment. Just by existing.
In an unnamed comparison to the chakras, the chapters are arranged in seven levels of No: from very whole energies of protecting our bodies and lives, to subtle energies cultivating love and compassion, to uppermost wisdom coming from authenticity. Each chapter includes the voices of each author as well as exercises to healthfully strengthen our No muscle.
Anyone who breathes will benefit from reading this book–especially naturally giving breathers. But, you are indeed free to say No.
This book was given to me by Hay House in exchange for my thoughts after reading it, as part of their Book No-ok blogger program.
A Cloak of Awesomeness
Posted on November 11, 2014 3 Comments
When I’m overwhelmed, stressed, and threatened, I put on my Cloak of Awesomeness and flow through. In it I stand taller, smile wider, and am able to continue moving forward.
Surrounded by an epidemic of apathy? Infiltrated by crabby colleagues? Attacked by social honey badgers? Bathed in my Cloak of Awesomeness I sail through situations unscathed, the malefaction repelled and my positive nature protected.
Everyone has one, this Cloak of Awesomeness. And no matter what you might think, it does not live in the back of your closet, hidden by that favorite shirt from seventeen years ago that you no longer wear but can’t bear to let go of. (PS, it’s not actually the shirt that we are really hanging on to here….)
Your Cloak of Awesomeness is always at the front of your closet, the top of your drawer. It is always the right color, it is always the perfect fit. It goes with everything. And, you look amazing in it.
If you’re anything like me, you just have to remember that you have it. And then, just put it on.
The beautiful thing is, once you realize that you have a Cloak of Awesomeness, you are immediately already wearing it. Even if you thought that you left the house without it.
But it never hurts to put it on again when needed….
Arwen’s Cloak
Connor’s Cloak
Jedi Master Cloaks
LEGO Hobbit Cloaks
Harry Potter’s Cloak. You don’t have to hide, though.
Where in your life will your own Cloak of Awesomeness benefit you?
The Big Book of Angel Tarot
Posted on October 22, 2014 Leave a Comment
The Big Book of Angel Tarot, by Doreen Virtue and Radleigh Valentine, is a fabulous 
compendium of the Angel Tarot Cards.
I’ll be honest–I already had this lovely deck, and I dragged my feet on looking at this book because I thought the descriptions printed on the individual cards were more than sufficient. Okay, it’s true that they are, but WOW is this book an amazing companion to the cards! My understanding of what each card signifies as well as how to interpret them has expanded tremendously from reading this guide.
I appreciate the given background of Tarot, and how the authors arrived at creating this deck. The description of a person on a journey and how the card meanings then apply was especially enlightening for me, and it made the learning stick. Support for how to give readings and use various spreads is encouraging and uplifting. This guide will help those who are interested in Angel Tarot as a profession, as well as anyone who is interested in it personally.
An aspect of this book that I especially appreciate is the nitty gritty of what each individual card has to say. Along with the big-picture processes, this book is an in-depth reference tool for every single card in the deck. I will come back to this book again and again for deeper personal understanding.
Anyone who has even a passing interest in either Tarot, Angels, or intuitive guidance will benefit from this book (and deck). If you have the cards, go get this book right now! If you don’t have the deck, I highly recommend getting one along with this book. (The holidays are coming, treat yourself to a gift!)
You don’t need to begin your Dreamer’s Journey, you are already on one. This book will help you understand yourself and others along the way.
I received this book from Hay House in a fair exchange of my honest opinion for it, as part of their Book Nook blogger program.
