This book. Right here. It has always been one of my mom's favorites, and I've been reading it over the break. It is definitely a book I would recommend to everyone, but especially to someone who is considering a career of truly helping and possibly counseling others, since the author counsels people with terminal illness and it is basically a collection of her experiences. Maybe it's at the library, maybe I will give it to you as a Martin Luther King day present or something, but I just think its something you would really connect with. And it is in really short segments so you can just read a page or two at a time, which I think is nice.
Speaking of connecting, it may sound weird, but in a way I think that I, and everyone, can probably find something, no matter how small, to connect with pretty much everyone we come in contact with, simply by virtue of humanity. I believe this now because I have felt it in a weird way with
Mistress #15 from an SNL sketch. Don't ask.
edit: I wrote this before watching the Glozell video. She believes the same thing. So it must be true.
I would love to read it when you're done. And this isn't like when people say, "Oh I want to do that" but they don't really care. I want to read it, fuh-errr surreee.
