Recent Amazon.com Reader Review for “East of Mecca”

Unputdownable

"This book is "unputdownable". It starkly illuminates what life is like for women in Saudi Arabia and is extremely well told by Sheila Flaherty. Just a great read. I couldn't help but be grateful to be living in the U.S. when I closed the book."

  • And then…JOY!

    The present moment is filled with joy and happiness. If you are attentive, you will see it. ~Thich Nhat Hanh I’ll admit, my last few posts have been on the “downer” side. Some people find it hard to read about the impact of cancer. It’s hard to write about it, too, even though I’m also […]

    I Can Choose My Immediate Reality Cancer: A term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and can invade nearby tissues.

  • And Then…Cancer.

    “If you want to make god laugh, tell her your plans.” ~ Anne Lamott This was supposed to be a good year. I planned to make it so. I intended to spend more time with people who make me laugh, and engage in activities that feed my soul and bring me joy. I wanted to […]

  • Loving Ada

    “Truth be told, being a grandma is as close as we ever get to perfection.” ~ Bryna Nelson Paston I never feel closer to God than when I hold my granddaughter. Ada, at nineteen months, is smart, loving, beautiful, and already has a wicked sense of humor. My afternoons with Ada are my best, happiest days…when […]

  • New Year’s Eve Reflections and Gentle Suggestions

    Our task is to say a holy yes to the real things of our life as they exist. ~Natalie Goldberg It’s New Year’s Eve and the pressure is on! The busyness of the holidays is coming to a close, but first we must ring in the New Year and ring out the old! There must […]
