“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

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.
bailedI don‘t know what exactly I wanted out this book but I am not getting it.
pickA difficult story with a hopeful/happy ending.
This memoir is something else! The author was raised by two very mentally ill parents and was helping her dad deal drugs when she was a preschooler.
Unbelievable. Powerful. Well told. Well-written.
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.
so-so⭐️⭐️⭐️ I barely even know who Tendler‘s famous ex-husband is, and that‘s because I had to google him, so that held zero bearing on my opinion. Celeb gossip isn‘t my strong point. This is tough because everyone has a story to tell, and memoir lends itself to freedom of expression and self indulgence. The discussions around mental health were good, relatable. But some of this went off the rails for me. I didn‘t love it, nor the title / cover combo.
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?
