“A Room Without Books Is Like…”

“A room without books is like a body without a soul”
-Cicero

I love having books around. Especially journals. I’m always writing.
The last book I finished was The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. One of my favorite quotes from the book is:

“And when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”

There are plenty of gems in that book that will probably have you thinking about your own purpose here in life. Maybe even reevaluate what you’re striving towards.

I’m currently reading Tarot As a Way of Life: A Jungian Approach to the Tarot by Karen Haymaker-Zondag. I’m really enjoying it as it explores ways of using the tarot for self-discovery through the integration of our conscious and subconscious.

There are certainly no limits when it comes to entertainment these days. Screens pervade our lifestyles – and because of that, I certainly value reading physical books and building my own personal library. I hope you still keep a few physical books around, at least the ones that may have had an impact on you.
