“Books are uniquely portable magic.”
(Stephen King)
Six months ago I wrote Dropping Tidbits of Knowledge on the World to share how I use my Kindle reader to quickly highlight my favorite quotes from my favorite books. And how Kindle and Twitter interface to let me easily share the most meaningful words of the books I read directly with you.
The Share function on Kindle posts my highlights and notes directly on my Twitter page.
I use the Share function when I’m reading something that supports our Foundations of Health at Happy Living. I use the hashtag #HappyLiving for the shared notes that I post on Twitter. When you click the link, you’ll see the full quote along with the book cover and title.
Below are my favorites from these past six months. And if you’d like to see my future notes as soon as I share them, just follow me on Twitter. If you’d just like to take a sneak peak every now and then, then go to my Twitter page whenever you’re feeling curious.
So, here are my favorites! I hope you enjoy these tidbits of wisdom dropped by some amazing authors! I’ve added the author’s Twitter usernames in parentheses where appropriate in case you’d like to follow them, as I do.

The Art of Grace: On Moving Well Through Life
by Sarah L. Kaufman (@SarahLKaufman)
At the heart of grace is ease. Defying gravity, smoothing your actions, reducing friction. Releasing your gifts to the world. Lightening the burdens of others.
Grace allows us to walk lightly and easily, to treat others sweetly and gently, to receive and savor the gentleness of others.
Grace is an act of transformation, making an ordinary moment into something extraordinary.

Make peace with it. Learn to deal with it. The success you have accomplishing your ONE Thing will continually prove you made the right decision.
