Let’s not become slobs either in how we dress or approach our work and our lives.

Reading books of overcoming crushing physical circumstances can bring us to tears and laughter, cause anger and insight. This story will have you turning the pages as you strive to understand how Ms. Alexander lived through getting run over by a freight truck—both front and back tires. Yes, run over. Not hit, not blown off the road by the wind force of a big truck. The driver literally looked her in the eye, pulled in front of her, ran over her and tried to flee the scene. What a launch to a story.

Time for another book review—you’ll soon be clued into the randomness of my reading. Everything but horror and romance is bound to show up here sooner or later. This week is an epic story by Donna Billings, a coach and writer who started hiking when she turned 62—with the intimidating Machu Picchu.

Here’s a quote from near the end of the book:
“What helped was that I understand the food and tried my best to adapt to the culture, rather than trying to make the culture adapt to me. More important, though, I learned to take the time to get to know people, especially the vendors and merchants, who would patiently explain their wares to me.”
