Mosaic

October 19, 2007

Obviously, I have heard the name Amy Grant. I have heard her music and songs on the radio for many years. I own one Amy Grant cassette tape from the 80’s.

I was interested in reading this book to learn more about Amy’s success and life. I expected more details about work and how she achieved the success she has achieved. To my surprise, she talked more about her personal life than about her work. I found it interesting how intertwined everything in her life is … there’s no separation between family, friends, life, work and faith.

As I read Mosaic, I realize Amy Grant struggles with busyness and balance just as most of us do. The book is very easy to read and her writing style is conversational. I enjoyed her heart-warming stories as well as her humorous stories.

I like the following quote:

“The beauty of being in the middle of life is the vantage point it provides … Even from here I can see that growing old is not for the cowardly.” p117

Overall, I found Mosaic by Amy Grant inspirational and encouraging. I would of never called myself an Amy Grant fan because I only own one cassette, can only name a couple of songs and have never seen her in concert. If you are an Amy Grant FAN, you will absolutely love this book, Mosaic.

After reading Mosaic, I now look forward to listening to more of her music and hearing more of her compelling lyrics. After reading Mosaic and learning of Amy’s love of nature, horses, God and faith, I now consider myself a FAN and I’ll be adding her songs to my ZUNE!

God bless!

Well, it is time for us to get serious about a healthy lifestyle change in the Daniels’ household.

I take better care of my dogs than I do of myself. I feed the dogs better food than I prepare for my family. I love my dogs so much but I love my family too and it is time for us to forget the cost and go to a primarily raw food diet, a diet consisting of as many organic foods as possible and a primarily vegan diet.

I have a lot of books and resources on the internet. We’re so excited about implementing these changes over the next few weeks.

It’s for the health of it, for nutrition for our bodies, for weight loss and overall to life a healthier lifestyle.
