Dear Readers,
I have decided to suspend postings on The Bookman’s Page this summer to focus on a number of my health issues. My plan is to return to my daily postings after Labor Day rejuvenated from my summer hiatus.
Have a Great Summer Everyone

Dear Readers,
Several weeks ago, I posted that I wasn’t feeling well and that I would be posting some of my previous posts from years past. As the weeks progressed, I started feeling better and added new medical procedures and medications to my health regime. I am doing pulmonary rehab therapy three times a week and I am working with my pulmonologist and cardiologist on a regular basis. With all this going on with my health, I haven’t felt very ambitious or creative, however, I do want to keep the blog alive on a daily basis. To that end, I will once again be posting some of my previous posts over my thirteen years of writing the post. Hopefully, in a few weeks, I’ll be able to get back to creative writing and research.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. ”
– Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of “A Course in Miracles, 1992 (commonly misattributed to Nelson Mandela, 1994 inauguration speech)
