HO HO HO… it’s Colette’s Favorite Things!
IN the spirit of the holidays and gift giving etc. (and because so many of you asked) I thought I’d do a year end wrap up of my favorite books, apps, music, websites, creams, charities, and whatever!
Ok so let’s start with books. I read. I read a lot. Books are my mind candy. I read all kinds of books and I re- read the ones I think are really good. So here is a list of old favorite books and latest books on my bedside table (and under it and on the side on the floor.) You will get a glimpse into some of what has influenced my thinking.
Now the list got kind of long so don’t let your head explode thinking you have to get all of them. Maybe one will stick out but rest assured in my estimation these are really good ones.
If you want to know more about the books go to amazon or other booksellers to read what they are all about.

Thank you Colette !!
Is your coat made from animals? The reason I ask, is your such an animal lover, and I am not sure if your aware of how much pain and suffering those animals go through. If not my apologies, I just want to be a voice for the voiceless animals and let people know the suffering they bear for our clothes, food etc.
not a chance! My coat is fake fur I would NEVER EVER wear real fur even if its vintage. But thanx for asking . It’s a good copy though.
That coat is the bomb. I was coveting it, too. Happy that its not animals! It *IS* a good copy!
Colette, we ALL want your coat! It’s sheer perfection!!!
its fake fur and its from like 5 years ago and I bought it second hand in Westport CT. BUT I will check the label. I kinda want another one. and it is SOOO warm !!
Oh I m soooo happy! (((big squishy hugs))) Colette!
Love, love, love A Dog’s Purpose!! Can’t wait for the movie. I’ll never forget a quote by Bruce Cameron, the author “you may not believe in reincarnation but you’ll never look at your dog the same way again.” Thanks for the list Colette!
i know .. i was bawling when i saw the trailer
Thanks again for the inspiring blog message and oracle card reading! I bought a set of your most recent oracle cards and they help remind me to take a moment each day to check my thoughts and attitude before I start my day – even before I pray to my Higher Power.
I look forward to your weekly blog posts and oracle readings as it is my hope that I will become a deeper spiritual individual who has something to offer others.
Have an awesome week, Colette and all of your tribe.
Wow! That’s a good, fun, positive list. Good for bookmarking for use anytime of year. Happy Holidays!
Thank you, Colette, and many blessings to you!
I love your list of books. Many sit on my bookselves, I will have to now explore some of the other titles and authors.
Thank you and hoping the holidays bring more light and love into your life and home.
What a great list- thank you!! I will enjoy browsing! 🙂
Thank you for your list! I appreciate it very much. Organo is the best. I do not settle for less, now.
Have a beautiful Holiday.
Love, Mary Louise
I love that you love Maggie Stiefvater & Melissa Marr! ❤
You and I share a lot of the same tastes in books. Found a few though on your list that I haven’t read – so will check them out.
Blessed Yule and a Merry Christmas.
Thanks so much for this weeks needed messages. Our lives have just become a little more complicated and those of us who are light workers are really having to walk our talk in a big way. Your lovely message reminds me to center myself in a very conscious way.
Thank you, Interesting to see what’s on other peoples lists. I do need to re read Initiation such a fabulous book and will look into the others you mentioned.
Happy Holidays!

I always enjoy reading your blog all your ideas, posts readings especially the oracle ones 🙂
Thank you for everything you share with us. I will be checking most of those links I love dogs! wild animals, nature and books too .)
Sending Blessings, hugs Love and Light
You look Radiant!
Hi Colette!
Ask and you shall receive! I asked you about your favorite books last week in the comment section, and you said, “next week.” Did you already know you were going to do that for this blog, or, did I see the future??!! Just kidding!
Thank you for the inspiration and love your choices!! Great way to spend some winter hibernation!!
xoxoxo
Thanks for the lists! Love the coat! Hugs!!!
Wwow! Thanks for the great share in your reading and other goodies! Helps me take the guess work out if the unfamiliar! I’m so glad you are here for us!
Hi Colette and Tribe
I love everything about this joyful post, and the first thing I did was to run to iTunes to listen to the meditation music love you shared. Listening to it right now… it’s beautiful! Thank you for the new music recommendation. Music is my daily vitamin and I am loving starting my day off with this.
I’ve also added to my book list so I can have higher piles beside my bed, LOL.
As usual, your loving and spiritual message is deeply appreciated. ???? Big hugs to you, Colette, your family, and to All.
The photo of you in your winter wonderland is absolutely STUNNING. You, the gorgeous coat and your smile. Picture perfect.
Hey Colette! Funny, I am reading “The Mists of Avalon” now. I had an astrology reading with the fantastic Debra Silverman and she said, “Have you read The Mists of Avalon? You are The Lady of the Lake!” So I had to see what she meant. I’m 1/4 the way through – LOVE it! And it gives more depth to the Avalon deck as well. Merry Christmas!
Oh I so love this post.
“a Holographic Universe” keeps popping up lately. Think that’ll be my next read.
Hi Colette! Where do you get your beautiful tops? You always wear the most beautiful blouses on your videos.
