Jill and I took a side road, after passing the off-leash dog and human park, and noticed this interesting bookshelf near an intersection.
As we walked closer we noticed the sign on top, “Free Library”.
We kept getting closer and then saw the “Take a book/Leave a book” sign underneath it.
We love walking around, seeing little surprises like this, that would bring together a community, and how people are always thinking up something new and surprising.
It is part of what we want our new website, to be unveiled soon, to help others do.
We want people to be inspire, and then inspire others, to be more, do more, and live more.
We’ve seen how wonderful it is to travel, experience new cultures and people, and hope to help others do the same.
This may not mean giving up your job and becoming minimalists like we have, but it may allow you to change something that you’ve always wanted to change, or visit somewhere you’ve always wanted to visit, or think about yourself in a new way that allows you more peace and contentment.
I’ve been working on an ebook to help people change their attitude, and life, at this very moment and it is almost ready.
My mom, who is an excellent writer and editor, has been helping me figure out exactly what I want to have come across in the most clear, simple and most useful format possible.
It is a combination of all my years of being a cognitive behavioral therapist, my dabbling in Buddhism and use of acceptance and gratitude, and my sense of humor and joy of living a life that is truly wonderful.
It is exciting to think that I’ll be putting this out into the world and what the reactions might be from the people that read it.
It is also a little bit scary.
I’m hoping that most people will like my book, and give me good reviews while also suggesting other points that they would like clarity or more support on. If so, I can then write more sequels or even do personal online training with them to help them achieve their goals more quickly. It is an exciting new part of our lives!
However, I’m sure there will be people that will give me negative reviews and it will be hurtful. However, if this happens, I will be able to use the tools that I’ve taught so many others to help me figure out how to adapt, learn and not let that become a set back to a new adventure and way of life that Jill and I want to achieve.
When we actually arrived at the little free library, we noticed the basket for free hollyhock seeds nailed to the side of it. The little bit of randomness made us smile and laugh.
Maybe someday, if enough people buy my book, it will end up on a little free library like this and reach many more people than I can even imagine.
That is why we walk.
