Midway through this non-fiction reflective story. The author explores the things we need to feel rooted and fully expressed. Much is expressed through the basics supporting her on a solo beach retreat. So far, so good. 😊
pickto live with intention, compassion, and depth. Every conversation between Morrie and Mitch felt like a reminder that meaning isn‘t found in success, flesh, or the material; but in the love we give, the time we share, and the moments we truly feel alive. This book didn‘t just inspire me, it helped me rediscover what it means to live.
#CharacterCharm Day 29: I have been reading more of the works of #Poet Mary Oliver now that I have quit social media (Facebook, X, Instagram) over the past months. Poetry seems infinitely better for the soul.
pickI love to listen to intelligent people muse on the beginnings of life. This one is from a physicist‘s perspective and my mind is altered each time I listen to these types of audiobooks. Do I understand it all? Oh, my no! But it doesn‘t dampen my enthusiasm. And I love to learn about the processes scientists/biologists/etc undertake in this field of study.
so-soDare I say that parts of this memoir were a little…boring? I was expecting something a little different from a final ‘lecture‘, but I‘ll read just about anything from someone who is dying, because I think there‘s a unique perspective and story for each individual experience. (Therefore, I don‘t regret reading it). I‘ve known two other people with this diagnosis and each life was very different. In reading this, I honor their memory.

pick#JulyJazz Day 5: This is a gorgeously-illustrated title that demonstrates our one-ness with everything around us: from the tree to its fruits, from the wind to the bees, from the roots to the sky. It is an ode to nature, and the fact that we are #indivisible from it. It is told in such a lyrical way and the art is absolutely gorgeous.
so-so3✨ I‘m honestly not sure when I got this book, but I‘ve had it for a long while. I‘m glad I finally picked it up, and found out it was about a girls life. In the short story we grow up with our MC through the good the bad, and the love of small town life. I really liked her, and her family. What I didn‘t like was the writing bounced around within the characters head spontaneously. While it followed a natural timeline it moved around in chapters.
