  1. Hi Meredith, was so nice to hear your voice yesterday :) Want to share with you a very special book, I think you would love it, you may like to consider it for #YOBC. It is called "The Untethered Soul" by Michael Singer. This book was life changing for me, and for so many others I know, I have read it several times (and still keep it close and open it up when needed). Everyone I know that has read it has read it several times and given it to others (myself included).
    Has been so nice tweeting with you, have a lovely and blessed day, kajal (of KajalsMalas) :)

    Have a nice day :)
