I wanted to talk about a really good book. This book is no ordinary novel but a "speak your mind, unload your questions, and figure out what it means to be human" kind of book. It is titled SoulPancake written by Rainn Wilson. I'm not one to like philosophy which essentially what I thought this book would be about...trying to answer life's big questions. Instead, I found it to be enlightening and made me really think about the answers to some of the questions asked in the book. It also has an array of various quotes per page and anyone who knows me knows that I'm a sucker for a good quote :) It has poems, pictures, facts, activities to do, and just some of the topics include 'the soul,' 'creativity,' 'emotions,' 'religion,' 'love,'identity,' among many others. Below I included some questions that made me really ponder the answer as well as amazing quotes and activities that help me understand life a little better. Enjoy!

Does every question have an answer?
