New Book Just Published, Our Own Zarin is the Author!

I've just read Zarin's new book, 'Life is a Leaky Bucket.' (available at Amazon.com) I personally think that everyone should read it. Her philosophy on life is so down-to-earth and practical. She's no whiner, I'll tell ya! Neither does she suffer fools gladly. Zarin has been a poster to this board for quite some time now, contributing and helping people whenever she can. I've included a few quotes from the book below:

'Living in fear is what we are socially conditioned to accept. Afraid we weill not make that mortgage payment, afraid we will lose our job. Afraid. We fear everything, we hope we will not have to face being alone because we are afraid of being lonely.

Wake up! You ARE alone. Accept that. There is nothing to be afraid of. We are born alone and when we die, we die alone, taking nothing with us. Start paying attention to yourself. You have only one life to live. Live it! Make time for yourself. Maybe we do not realise it, but we all need time alone. Time to reflect on who we are and where our fulfillment lies.'

'Having PSD and PCD means I need to take blood thinners that work by effectively blocking the Vitamin K function of the blood, thereby creating a situation where the body is unable to clot. Basically, on blood thinners one becomes a drug-induced haemophiliac. Any cut can be potentially dangerous. The blood has to be monitored constantly to maintain a balance so one does not run the risk of internal bleeding. It is the only means allopathic medicine has to prevent further blood clots from forming and creating dangerous situations. However, the so-called prevention is worse than the condition, especially for someone like me who has adverse reactions to the drugs.'

'In this book I want to share with everyone my personal experiences in the hope that it will give strength to each and everyone to live life to the fullest. This is a story about human endurance and triumph of the human spirit against impossible odds.

Life is a leaky bucket. Live life to make sure that enough water keeps running into the bucket so that what drains away from the holes does not leave your bucket empty.'
