It was a cool, rainy afternoon in Calgary.

Spent an hour in a used bookstore, one of
my favorite pastimes.

Especially when I found 3 books for CAN $14.00,
which is less than US $10.00!

1. DEATH & ITS MYSTERIES by Ignace Lepp, Catholic Priest & Psychotherapist in Paris, died 1966.

2. WOMEN WHO RUN WITH THE WOLVES: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype, by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D.

3. EMOTIONAL ALCHEMY: How The Mind Can Heal The Heart, by Tara Bennett-Goleman, Buddhist & Psychotherapist

Holy toledo?!!

Did you have to ship them back to Scotland in Mad-Eye Moody's trunk?? (you know, the one that looks small on the outside but is really...) That's one huge buncha books you bought. I can empathize about the infertility books. Infertility is what made me what I am today - an adoptive mom (and June 3rd was the anniversary of losing our only pregnancy - 12 years ago). Best wishes to you and your partner as you negotiate the storm-tossed waters. - Anne U

Well, we came light, with lots of book space. And did I mention how heavy our carry-on luggage had gotten when we left? :)

*hugs* thank you so much for sharing that infertility story. It's amazing that you have a healthy adopted daughter now. Go Maya!

I guess we'll decide on adoption in a couple of years. My husband still firmly believes that someday, we'll get pregnant, but we'll see. Right now the main work is accepting our problems and living with our child-free-ness ;)

"erm ... another book whose title escapes me at the moment"

amazing coincidence - that's one I bought over there too!

Pleased it all went so well. I loved the Victorian cowgirl photo - you're just as I imagined you, except I envisaged you in black-framed glasses.

Cheers

Mark
