“The world will Always Take what you are willing to give.”
We all need to be a little less willing to give, remember the old saying, ‘put on your oxygen mask first or you can not help anyone else‘. Save some space for yourself to just be, refresh, regenerate, get grounded, and just be in the moment and refill your own well before everyone drains you dry. “The world will always take what you are willing to give.” Save a little you for yourself
Hello #SheSaid
If you were able to get ahold of this book, how did you like this week‘s sections? If not, did you sign up to get my book as it travels around visiting?
Sorry for the late post, but we can talk in the comments 😉
Hello #SheSaid!
I‘m really enjoying this book so far, not much overlap with her previous book, but the talk about matriarchs, carrying on the traditions over multiple generations, ties to & fighting for the land, the continuing line despite it all, the people that we lean on & in turn become the ones approached to lean on, all feel very solid & centering to me this week. Terrible things happen to people & a people, but humans & families carry on.
Hello #SheSaid!
My book has arrived, so the schedule is up and ready to go!
Hello #She Said!
I know a few of us have had issues getting ahold of this book in the US…not sure why it‘s available in Canada, England, Australia, but not on the US. I got her first book just fine…BUT I do not like being told I can NOT read something. It makes me want to read it more.
I know it is price-prohibitive for us all to order it from overseas, so I have a suggestion. Let me tag everyone & let you know what I‘m thinking in the comments.
Hello #SheSaid
This is supposed to be our next read, but I‘m having a difficult time getting a copy here in the US. Is anyone else having issues?
pickI didn't think it was possible to read a story that mirrored mine so very closely, right down to the new fear that our broken hearts will surely fail any day now. Tears streamed down my face while I read this, as I suspected they would.
pickBeautifully written, thoughtful and engaging portrait of what it means to be an Indigenous woman in 2023. In a short span of time Helen Knott lost her mother and her grandmother. She reflects here on her journey to reconcile with the loss, to find her tears and her scream, to make space for herself and her loved ones, and to figure out her place as a woman free of the constraints of societal and colonial expectations.
