One of the most viewed posts on my blog is of A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle and Oprah’s webcast class.  I thought, since we’re half way through, it would be appropriate to discuss my journey with this book.

If I could grade myself on my perfomance with Oprah’s class as well as the book, I’d have to give myself a solid D.  Not good.  Here’s why:

Although I’ve downloaded every single class show (or I’ve watched it live on Monday nights), I’m still not past Chapter 3 (currently, we’re supposed to be on Chapter 7).  I can’t blame a busy schedule because there are several days in the week where I’m not extremely busy.  I can’t blame disinterest as well since I really do love this class and this book.  I’m not sure why I can’t get it together and get to Chapter 7.

One thing I do love about this book is the discussion of being in the present.  Something I personally suck at is always thinking about the past or the future.  I never truly live in the present.  And I can see, I’m grading myself a B on this since the book and the webclass have really made me begin to live presently.

So, this is my mid-semester grade I’m giving myself.  I hope to report a better grade in the next few weeks.
