“One of the risks of being quiet is that the other people can fill your silence with their own interpretation: You‘re bored. You‘re depressed. You‘re shy. You‘re stuck up. You‘re judgmental. When others can‘t read us, they write their own story—not always one we choose or that‘s true to who we are.”

1) Quiet by Susan Cain. Life-changing book for me.
2) Hamilton by Ron Chernow
3) Killers of The Flower Moon by David Grann
Hard to limit to 3! 😄
so-soI definitely didn‘t need a lesson on what it‘s like to be an introvert (I‘m pretty much a subject-matter expert). But I do wish I could casually pass this along to everyone I know so that someone would understand me.
Yesterday I listened to someone I‘ve worked closely with for 8 years have an hour long conversation with someone who‘s been around for about 8 weeks. That I‘ve never had that kind of convo with them hurts more than I can explain.

My kind of (old school?🤨) quiet. I new book & good🎶❤️🔥🤓📚
Power‘s been restored as of a few mins ago, although I fully expect another & am charging devices now while I can.
My niece (aka my sidekick & neighbour) & I got my generator semi-ready last might so 1/2 that job is done if it‘s needed. Let‘s hope not though.
pickEngrossing and revelatory.
pickNice book about the power of introversion, quiet, sitting with yourself and pondering, in a world where being an outspoken extrovert is recognized and rewarded.
bailedSadly… I‘ve tried this twice now, and I should be into it… but I‘m just not…. No idea why. Maybe I‘ll try again sometime in the future.
Today‘s #audioknitting is a pi shawl inspired throw that will burn through my MANY mini skeins. I started it yesterday and am finding it a really fun engaging knit. I might actually learn how to do lace after all.
I‘m taking my time with this #audiobook. It is speaking to my soul.
