not so zen momma

First of all, if you don't belong to a book club, join one now! Starting my book club has been one of the most rewarding things I've done in my adult life. Especially as a new mom, it is great to have an excuse to first have some alone time reading, and then some fun time gabbing with girlfriends.

I just finished our latest book, A Mighty Heart. (Two days before we meet, it could be a new record!) You know what the book reminds you, terrorism is bad. I can't stop thinking about it. But, probably more poignant than the story itself, are all the published letters of support that were sent to Mariane Pearl. There are letters from people of all countries, religions, and walks of life, even a group of employees from a Wal-Mart in Illinois. The letters remind you that there are way more people in the world think terrorism is bad than good. It reminds me that in life, good will ultimately prevail.
