Tolle’s A New Earth discussed on Oprah

Eckhart Tolle, author of The Power of Now has another book out: A New Earth: Awakening to Your LIfe’s Purpose. Since I haven’t finished it yet (it’s deep and cannot be read in one or two sittings! ;-) ), I’ll save the review for another time.

I did want to write that the U.S. TV-icon, Oprah, has put together a 10-week series to discuss the book and its ideas (free registration required). From what I can tell, it looks to be one of the best uses of live broadcasting on the Internet that I know of. Film at eleven. :-D

Book Review: Cooking Rocks

Have kids? Looking to have some fun with them and teach them some important skills at the same time? We picked up Rachael Ray’s Cooking Rocks a couple of weeks ago. To start off, if you answer yes to both of the questions above, then you should check out this book. It has easy-to-understand, practical instructions, with an emphasis on safety, for kids aged 4 and above. I like the fact that all of the recipes (some modifications will be in order as the kids get older) can travel through the lifetime of the cooks. So far we’ve had the Middle Eastern Rice Bowl and one of the pizza recipes modified a bit (for last night’s Super Bowl). Yumm-o!
