AWESOME!

i recently acquired The Book of Awesome by Neil Pasricha. Who knew a trip to FedEx to get a box would end up in me finding a book? So Calah and i thought it'd be fun to write my own thoughts on the awesome things and maybe add my own.

(The following Awesome Things are a reflection of this past week)

Awesome Thing #1: The smell of frying onion and garlic. Seriously, i don't know about you, but i LOVE that smell. Especially on a Fast Sunday when you walk to a friend's apartment and they're making food that involves onion and garlic for the Break the Fast. You walk in and the heavenly scents serenade you and your knees just about buckle underneath you. Ahhh.....

Awesome Thing #2: Wearing sandals when you shouldn't be wearing sandals. FYI sandals in my case means flip-flops. i will wear flip-flops whenever i possibly can. All the time. Even though it is technically still winter, if there is not snow on the ground (the ground where i am walking) then i will be wearing my flip-flops. Sure i get the occasional comments from people who ask if i'm freezing but don't you worry, i'm just fine. :)

"An Awesome Book" Dallas Clayton

Whilst watching TV shows on Hulu an ad came on about this guy wanting to publish a book. No publisher wanted it but he persisted and ended up doing the book online and sharing it with all his friends. it ended up making its way around the world and everyone wanted copies. So he gave them copies (i'm assuming he printed them or something, i didn't pay attention to specifics). His whole point was that he didn't want to publish a book for the sake of being a published author or whatever. it was to share an idea that's important to him. One of dreaming big dreams and never losing the magic in that. Dallas Clayton has now written/illustrated several more books and i am in love with them all. So read up, enjoy, and dream as big as you can!

The following link will send you to his website where you can read the book for free and bask in the awesomeness that are his other books.
