MARCH IN ALL ITS FABULOSITY

Here's what's made March fabulous for me - family, friends, fun, and fabulosity at its best.

MY FABULOUS MARCH

March marks the beginning of Autumn here in Australa and we're still waiting for those cooler days and nights to arrive in full, and see an end to a very long, hot Summer. I think it's been the hottest and driest Summer I can remember - with very little rain and many days of temperatures in the 40°C range - and that's VERY hot!

NOW I'M 60 IT'S TIME TO LET MY LIGHT SHINE

Self-acceptace is the beginning of a journey out of uncertainty and hiding your light. You get to say "Here I am, this is me, take me or leave me."

INTRO

Entering retirement is different for all of us. I kind of leapt off the employment cliff and freefell into retirement.

4 BOOKS THAT CHANGED MY PERSPECTIVE ON LIFE

What books have made an impact on your life? When I asked myself this question, these are the four that immediately came to mind.

WHAT BOOKS CHANGED YOUR PERSPECTIVE ON LIFE?

I recently saw a question on Facebook that asked "Name a book that changed your perspective on life". It caught my interest and within a minute or so I came up with four books that had impacted me over the years and caused me to change my worldview. I'm sure there's dozens of others, but these four leapt to mind and I thought I'd share them here on the blog today. 

I'd be really interested to know whether you have a book (or two) that changed your perspective on life - let me know in the comments or on my Cresting the Hill Facebook page if you have the time because I'm really quite fascinated with this question....
