(I hope that some of Margaret&#8217;s devoted readers will subscribe here &#8212; check the box on my homepage &#8212; and become regular visitors, and that my readers will follow Margaret as well.)<\/p>\n<p>The right book at the right time can feed the soul, nourish the mind, and provide us with the impetus we need to transform, grow, and pursue our dreams.<\/p>\n<p>Although the details of our lives and stories differ, the themes that most resonate with me and with Margaret &#8212; nature, awareness, gratitude, finding the sacred in the ordinary, celebrating life\u2019s small gifts and simple pleasures &#8212; resonate deeply with you, too.<\/p>\n<p>So, a huge, heartfelt \u201cThank you!\u201d to all who took the time to share with us your own stories of awakening, change, and transformation, along with the books and writers who most inspired you along the way.<\/p>\n<p>From your more than 400 responses and comments, we\u2019ve\u00a0 generated an expansive, extraordinarily diverse reading list for life, a list ranging from fiction to philosophy, from memoir to self-help, from beloved classics like <em>Gift from the Sea<\/em> and <em>The Prophet<\/em> to best-sellers like <em>Eat, Pray, Love<\/em> and <em>Simple Abundance<\/em>, to intriguing but lesser-known titles such as <em>SoulPancake<\/em> and <em>Ragamuffin Gospel<\/em>. \u00a0Some of these books I had on shelf, so I pulled them out and snapped a photo. \u00a0Others are now on my own must-read list.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, in this give-away, we are all winners. Here, then, is our list, or rather, YOUR list.\u00a0 I think we should give it a title.\u00a0 How about \u201cBooks for the Journey\u201d?\u00a0 You can scroll through the titles below, or, if you want to be sure to have a copy of the whole thing in your hand the next time you head to the bookstore, you can print it out here:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.katrinakenison.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/Rev-2-Sheet13.pdf\">Rev-2 Sheet1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s ten below zero in New Hampshire as I type these words.\u00a0 A very good day to settle in with a good book and a cup of tea.
