The rare kind of memoir that makes one forget it’s not a novel, From Bonham to Buddha and Back Again: The Slow Enlightenment of the Hard Rock Drummer by Clementine Moss is an exhilarating and enlightening read.

Review: A Mystic’s Guide to 2023 by Nicole Marie

A Mystic's Guide to 2023 by Nicole Scuderi

Offering an in-depth section for personal reflection and goal-setting, as well as a nontraditional day-to-day calendar for emotional management, journaling, and mood tracking, Nicole Marie’s A Mystic’s Guide to 2023 is a well-organized and sensitively executed guide.

Unlike so many other day planners or yearly journals, this book kicks off with a wealth of resources to apply in the year ahead, from “Wheel of Life” tools and large-scale goal listings to an “Ideal Life” essay and a belief examination table. Each page in the ensuing guide is one day, as expected, with empty spaces for accomplishments, thoughts, manifestations, mantras, and […]
