In November, the Texas Book Festival in beautiful Austin, Texas took place. We were lucky to meet one of our beloved author, Margaret Atwood. She is everything we thought she would be. Seeing our friends Julie Speed, Sarah Bird and so many other authors was a weekend in Heaven. </div><div> </div><div><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aaZh7TQ4ihE/SwlmE7poWrI/AAAAAAAAABw/6RvK7cIasyg/s1600/bookbirthwalk+051.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 133px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406965062552804018" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aaZh7TQ4ihE/SwlmE7poWrI/AAAAAAAAABw/6RvK7cIasyg/s200/bookbirthwalk+051.jpg" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aaZh7TQ4ihE/SwllNqxnLhI/AAAAAAAAABo/ZHBimGCwUeI/s1600/bookbirthwalk+046.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 133px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406964113130073618" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aaZh7TQ4ihE/SwllNqxnLhI/AAAAAAAAABo/ZHBimGCwUeI/s200/bookbirthwalk+046.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aaZh7TQ4ihE/SwlmjJb8loI/AAAAAAAAAB4/LHPQxzq25qs/s1600/bookbirthwalk+084.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 133px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406965581649581698" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aaZh7TQ4ihE/SwlmjJb8loI/AAAAAAAAAB4/LHPQxzq25qs/s200/bookbirthwalk+084.jpg" /></a><br /><br />We both work full time jobs, I work for a software company and Neil runs his Electrical business. This past week my company had lay-offs, 16 employees will lose their jobs at the end of the year. This is a way of life these days and we all know it. We wanted to pay homage to those that have lost their jobs, lost loved ones, etc., as the year comes to an end. As our first blog is posted, we are sharing some books that have helped us in times of change and growth.</div><div><br /><em>I realized I had to free myself from the images which in the past had announced to me the things I sought</em>. - <strong>Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities</strong>.</div><div><br /><strong><span style="font-size:180%;color:#33cc00;">These Ideas Work.</span><br /></strong><br />1. <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aaZh7TQ4ihE/SwloAohqx2I/AAAAAAAAACA/ZzXbX9iAeyk/s1600/atwood.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 132px; HEIGHT: 156px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406967187722913634" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aaZh7TQ4ihE/SwloAohqx2I/AAAAAAAAACA/ZzXbX9iAeyk/s200/atwood.jpg" /></a> <em>Negotiating with the Dead</em> - Margaret Atwood<br />Maybe because she has been a constant Author in our lives, this book questions thought or excuse on how we express our selves.</div><div><br /> </div><div>2. <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aaZh7TQ4ihE/Swlo7x_b7lI/AAAAAAAAACI/PZnOBnXm240/s1600/bhutto.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 130px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406968203875970642" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aaZh7TQ4ihE/Swlo7x_b7lI/AAAAAAAAACI/PZnOBnXm240/s200/bhutto.jpg" /></a> <em>Daughter of Destiny</em> - Benazir Bhutto.</div><div>The tremendous courage of a person.

His career expanded over 40 years of great Texas Music. He lived by the guitar and never changed his path. Here is to you Dad...
