Exploring Spirituality Through My Summer Reading List

As the days grow longer and the sun warms our skin, there's nothing quite like diving into a good book that stirs the soul and expands the mind. This summer, I'm excited to share a few gems from my reading list that have resonated deeply with me as both an author and a spiritual seeker.First on my list is Finding Soul on the Path of Orisa (A West African Spiritual Tradition) by Tobe Melora Correal. This book is a profound journey into the heart of Orisa spirituality, offering insights into how ancient African wisdom can guide us in modern times. Correal's writing is both accessible and rich, making it a perfect summer read for anyone interested in exploring the spiritual traditions of West Africa. Next, I'm delving into The Wisdom Of The Native Americans edited by Kent Nerburn. This collection of Native American teachings and stories provides a window into the deep connection between the indigenous peoples of North America and the earth. It's a book that invites reflection and a greater appreciation for the wisdom of those who have walked this land long before us. Finally, I'm revisiting Cherokee Proud by Tony Mack McClure. As someone with Cherokee ancestry, this book holds a special place in my heart. McClure's work is a guide for those seeking to connect with their Cherokee roots, offering a blend of history, genealogy, and personal stories. It’s an invaluable resource for anyone looking to honor their heritage and keep the spirit of the Cherokee people alive.These books have been more than just summer reading—they’ve been gateways to understanding, connection, and spiritual growth. I encourage you to explore these works by these incredible authors, whether you’re seeking knowledge, inspiration, or simply a good read to accompany your summer days.Dive into these books and let them enrich your summer. Happy reading!

On these cold winter nights what books are you cuddling up with? Today I purchased two books, "The Nguzo Saba and the Festival of First Fruits" and "The Essential Oils Hormone Solution: Reclaim Your Energy and Focus and Lose Weight Naturally". I have made Kwanzaa and living by the Nguzo Saba(Kwanzaa Principles) a way of life. Promoting family values and unity is high on my list of priorities. I support black businesses and I am planning to open some with my children this year.

I also purchased a copy of "The Essential Oils Hormone Solution" by Dr. Mariza Snyder. The book teaches women who are menopausal or perimenopausal to bring their hormone levels in check and lose weight using essential oils. Dr. Mariza talks about cravings and metabolism, and how to reset your hormones. I will be adding more books to my collection this year. I will also publish new authors and more of my own books.

Be on the lookout next month for "Black Poetry and Soul Consciousness". The book is a collection of poems and conscious experiences from myself and members of my Facebook group, "Black Poetry and Soul Consciousness". This summer I will debut two more books, which will include my first children's book. The other is a self help book to teach people how to write and journal about their traumatic experiences to promote healing. You can always purchase my books on my websites or Amazon.

Peace and Blessings
