I keep a journal of quotes that inspire and touch me. I have done it since I was young. One of my favorites is: "There is a story of a Navajo Grandfather who once told his grandson, "Two wolves live inside me. One is the bad wolf, full of greed and laziness, full of anger and of jealousy and regret. The other is the good wolf, full of joy and compassion and willingness and a great love for the world. All the time these two wolves are fighting inside me." "But Grandfather," the boy said. "which wolf will win?" The Grandfather answered, "The one I feed." -Elizabeth Berg "The Year of Pleasures" What a wonderful giveaway! I keep a journal of quotes that inspire and touch me. I have done it since I was young.

I would love a signed copy of the book! Sounds interesting! I've shared your blog with some of my library/teacher friends!
