I believe spiritual freedom (a.k.a. self-discipline) manifests as bravery, confidence, grace, honesty, love, and inner peace.

-- Updated December 15th, 2012, 2:05 pm to add the following --
I'm not voting. Please get rid of the re-direct. It's quite fascist.
Scott, did you even consider my nominations?
And, WHY WAS THERE NO BOOK FOR DECEMBER?

Re: Vote for the January 2013 book of the month
Your nominations will be posted in a poll for the February book of the month. They seem like interesting books. I didn't use them for this poll for January because I am already behind schedule so your books would get more attention with proper prep time, giving everyone enough time to get the book.DeeElf wrote:Why isn't at least one of my nominations up?

I have fallen behind on the book of the month program over the last 2 months due to personal issues -- some good, some bad -- which is why there was no vote or book for December and why the vote for the January book was late. I will work harder on keeping to the schedule in the future.
My apologies and thank you for your understanding!

Sorry I acted like such a jerk about it. Thanks for the update. I sincerely wish you good luck with your personal issues and wish you goodwill in general. Keeping my fingers crossed my personal issues don't prevent me from participating in February.Scott wrote: (Nested quote removed.)
