You Can Heal Your Life by Louise L. Hay

“The thoughts we think and the words we speak create our experiences.” Louise L Hay 

This book has a lot of powerful and positive messages, great affirmations and many radical ideas. Louise not only believes there is a direct correlation between what you think and your illnesses, but she absolutely believes that you can heal your body with the right thoughts. She believes that “Forgiveness” can cure many of our diseases. She has specific thought patterns for different problem. Example: Fat Belly – I nourish myself with spiritual food, and I am satisfied and free. There are many versions of the book but I really enjoyed the 2007 release because of all the beautiful pictures. I think it’s very interesting to remember that our thoughts truly affect our bodies.

Louise is known as one of the first to have written a book about how your thoughts affect your physical health.  Her first book “Heal Your Body” was published in 1976.

Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith

I've never thought of President Lincoln and Vampires in the same sentence. This book has an interesting concept and the author is very creative in blending fact and fiction. I almost want to believe in vampires and I think the author might be calling certain people vampires. Not just the vampire described as the undead but people who actually suck the life out of others. It was very easy for me to think of people that reminds me of vampires.

Grahame-Smith cares about slavery and the importance of the Civil War. He is very clever. Unfortunately I don’t know enough about Abraham Lincoln to differentiate enough fact from fiction. I do admire the style in which the author reminds us of the sacrifices that were made to make America a free country.

The book completely surprised me with the depth and seriousness it brings forward on Abraham Lincoln’s mission to abolish slavery. It will be interesting to see what they do with the movie version.
