September 2009
September is the season for new beginnings—with the start of fall and back-to-school it's a great time to renew your spirit. During President Obama's recent vacation we read that he was "replenishing his mind, body and spirit, playing tennis and golf and taking on a hefty stack of books…" While vacation season may be over for many of us, Team Elixir wants to remind you that you don't need a holiday to replenish yourself through reading.
Case in point: this issue highlights books that bring peace and transformation to your life. Read Debbie Ford's latest book: The 21-Day Consciousness Cleanse for free, receive a Zen master's advice for easing despair, and as always, check out our Lit Prescriptions!
So kick up your feet and explore better living through books!

Words of Wisdom

|
"Wake up! Look at your own life and see what is true about yourself. Freedom is available, the trick is to stop looking out there for it and to sit down, shut up, and see for yourself that your truest nature, however deeply buried or obscured, is closer to love than anything else." —Noah Levine, Dharma Punx
"I do know that I'm responsible not for what happens but for what I make of it. It's up to me to take my own measure, to claim what's real, to answer for myself." —Sidney Poitier, The Measure of a Man
