More often than not we just read the books in school, but sometimes when the teacher needed a break, we'd get to see the movie as well. Do you remember watching the movie or reading the book?

I read everything from Shakespeare to Vonnegut and everything in between.

A list of books I read and thought were worthwhile in 2025 that are (possibly) relevant to our times, from a 40something wasian american. I have nothing against romantasy, I just don't lean in that direction. Includes both fiction and nonfiction.

My first “spiritual book” was probably The Metamorphosis (1915) by Kafka. I read it when I was around 13 years old. I know, it doesn’t sound very “spiritual”, but as an alchemist, I can tell you that the clues of our growth are anywhere if we are able to see them. Here you will find some of the books I’ve read that had made an impact in my life as an energetic healer and spiritual channelizer. But remember, all the knowledge of the Universe is already within you. If you are a true sicker, don’t just read… look within and write yourself what you see. I have faith that soon, I’ll be able to publish my own books and add them to this list. Thanks for reading. Love, Lu

The truth in reaching your money goals is facing the reality of what it takes to succeed - no shortcuts, just commitment and consistency. While investing in financial literacy is important to make smart money choices, the biggest challenge in overcoming financial roadblocks is not actually the lack of financial education, it's most often our mindset. Get your mindset ready to actually commit to your goals, take consistent action, apply those smart money choices, and transform your life to be one full of freedom and purpose. These books were so impactful and transformative to me. I hope they do the same for you. Enjoy!

I've been loving my quiet time with God lately, and I wanted to share some of my favorite Bible study essentials with you! They're perfect for digging into scripture, jotting down notes, and staying organized. Plus, they're so cute and affordable. I've been using my scripture journal to record my thoughts and reflections, and it's been such a blessing to see how God is working in my life. I love highlighting verses that speak to me in different colors - it's become a fun way to make my Bible study time more engaging and personal. My highlighters are always within reach! I've also been using a simple devotional guide to help me stay on track, and it's been great for guiding my prayers and reflections. And let's be real, who doesn't love a good pen? I've got a whole stash of cute pens that make me excited to write and journal. Bible tabs have been a game-changer for me - they're so helpful for navigating my Bible quickly and keeping my place. I feel like they're often overlooked, but they make such a big difference! I'm so grateful for these simple tools that help me connect with God. If you're looking to deepen your Bible study practice, I hope you'll consider these essentials! 🦢
