#MarchIntoOz #PleasureAndPain I've not finished this book. I do agree with keeping only things that 'spark joy' & give me PLEASURE but I find some of her advice & reasoning (like not balling up your socks to give them time to 'rest) & the story of her ripping 'relevant pages' out of 40 books 😱(book killer!), putting the pages into a file & discarding the books very PAINful. Also PAIN-causing--the big red best-seller dot on the cover-hate that! 😤
tpixie I hate those stickers, also! They never come off nicely. 7y
TheBookgeekFrau Why must covers be abused so?! 🙇♀️ 7y
elkeOriginal Since books spark joy for me, her insistence on ripping out pages and tossing books was a dealbreaker for me. SO painful to imagine doing that🙀 7y

tpixie @elkeo yes! Bad image! 7y
JacqMac Yeah, I stopped reading when I got to the tossing books part. Too crazy! 7y
LazyOwl I have this book, but I never actually finished it. It was exhausting to read and I felt very one dimensional and geared to a certain type of person leaving the rest of the population out. 7y
ChaitanyaSethi @DebinHawaii This looks interesting. Is it similar to the Danish idea of Hygge? 7y
Lizpixie Are you enjoying my photo challenge so far? It took me ages to narrow down the songs, I have enough left to do the rest of the year! 7y
DebinHawaii @ChaitanyaSethi I've not read the Hygge books and this is more of an organization book--but possibly some of the principles she applies to organizing are similar? 🤔 7y
DebinHawaii @Lizpixie Yes I am! I am learning a lot of new songs & artists. 👍😀And thanks for the gentle reminder of who to tag! 🤣🤣🤣Not sure what I was thinking but I went through & fixed my tags--they are now you! ❤️ 7y
Lizpixie @DebinHawaii sorry if I came across pushy! It might explain why I‘m not getting that many tags coming up in my feed☺️ Have you listened to my Spotify playlist yet? There‘s some amazing Aussie rock. Tomorrows song is my fave of all of them, it‘s Cold Chisel, one of my Top3 Aussie bands of all time, it‘s a less wellknown song that brings back memories of being a teenager in early 80s Sydney, summer heat, cicadas, being stupid with your mates🏄🏼♀️ 7y
DebinHawaii @Lizpixie Hah! No, you absolutely did not come across that way! I am glad you said something. I'm not sure where I went wrong but it's fixed now. 🤣I have been listening to the songs I am not familiar with and enjoying them. I will definitely listen to tomorrow's. ❤️ 7y
Lizpixie @DebinHawaii awesome! Doing this challenge has made me completely nostalgic. I found myself crying today while listening to the playlist. Sometimes don‘t you just wish you could be 16 again with all the wisdom you‘ve accumulated? God my life would be so different. Or am I just getting old👵🏻 7y
DebinHawaii @Lizpixie You are not alone! Music, movies, books from my childhood and teenage years always do that to me. We're not getting old--we just have deep, sensitive souls! 😆 7y
