A short little book

9 Replies

I have been reading a book written by Portia Nelson, " There's a hole in my sidewalk." It is short poems about inner self awareness. Amazing book, I recommend it highly ! I thought I would share a short poem from it. It inspired me tremendously, hope it does you too....

"I use to suffer a great deal , thinking I was the only one in the world so lonely and troubled. Then, I opened the door to myself, and discovered there were millions of people just like me... It's isn't so lonely anymore..... but it's miserable to be so ordinary...."

Hope you enjoyed this ... I'll put up more of my favorites in time...

Have an awesome day ♥

Dismissedwife, I went over to YouTube, listened to the Chapters of the book.

It is a short little book, with a powerful message. A "MUST READ" best couple

minutes you will spend.

Thanks for sharing :) xx

I still can't stop thinking about what it had to say within

a few short sentences. I am going to put in on my desk next

to "Dancing in the Rain" (Gratitude Book).

Have a good Sunday and Thanks again. :) xx

Nice poem

Finding books like this are a great help in taking away all feelings of Anxiety and depression. I can spend many an hour reading my books, they divert my thoughts and move on to a better day or evening. Keep reading and enjoy
