Yes, I am obsessed....

So I will save you the suspense, I am going to write about a good book.
Or to quote my sister, "Ya, she'll probably quote this book she is obsessed with and relate it to her life." Ha, I love my sister she knows me so well. So I will just say that this book, to me, seemed like it wouldn't relate. It's about a shepard named Santiago. Yep... But sure enough I find myself dropping my head in my hands and telling everyone around me who will listen, something that spoke to me through it. I love it.
Some of the highlighted points:
"He had to choose between something he had become accustomed to and something he wanted to have."
"There was nothing to hold him back except himself."
"'He should have decided to become a shepherd,' the boy said. 'Well, he thought of that,' the old man said. 'But bakers are more important people than shepherds. Bakers have homes, while shepherds sleep out in the open. Parents would rather see their children marry bakers than shepherds. .. 'In the long run, what people think about shepherds and bakers becomes more important for them then their own Personal Legends.'"

well, I am also pleased to announce, Katie has become an official Donald Miller fanatic, just like me! She is reading Blue Like Jazz, it's a good one!
