Who Would You Be Without Your Story? | Byron Katie

pick

Thinking that people are supposed to do or be anything other than what they are is like saying that the tree over there should be the sky. I investigated that and found freedom.

Everyone is a mirror image of yourself—your own thinking coming back at you.

Random moment of guiltily pleasure and joy. I got a Mexican pizza!! Yes I know — I know but I couldn‘t resist. Mexican pizzas got me thru a lot of break ups, late night dancing, stress eating, and pregnancy. Shout out to bringing it back and needing heartburn meds lol #nostalgia #tacobell #badfood #memories

Excellent as I expected! If you love Fran you'll love this book. It was like she was sharing her personal story with you as you two share her favorite pasta dish!

Promise Me: How a Sister's Love Launched the Global Movement to End Breast Cancer | Nancy G. Brinker

#SoaringScores #TheBattle
Since this is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I wanted to highlight the importance of early detection. It‘s worth the pinch...2/4 of my sister in-laws are both Breast Cancer Survivors and both were under 40 ( one was 28) when they were diagnosed. I wasn‘t at this singing event, but my sister in-law was and I thought it was worth sharing the link https://youtu.be/FQqFzLJXg40

Chrissyreadit Wow! Israel seems to have some powerful events. It seems like such a different perspective than we get in the states. 5y

Cinfhen I think because the country is so small and so “young” ( 71 years) they do take a different approach when it comes to education and involvement @Chrissyreadit I finally signed up for the next singing initiative taking place January 5!!!! I‘m SO EXCITED 😁 5y

Chrissyreadit That sounds like an AMAZING time!!! 5y

CrowCAH Thanks for the PSA, always a good reminder! 5y

ravenlee My mom was diagnosed at 44 at her first mammogram, and she‘s going strong now at 68. My sister and I have both had suspicious mammograms but they turned out to be nothing. Get your testing done and do your self exams! 5y

Cinfhen So glad to hear your mom is healthy and going strong 💪🏽 @ravenlee Thanks for sharing the important message about self exams and early detection 💗 5y

Cinfhen Thanks @CrowCAH 5y

Dear John, I Love Jane: Women Write About Leaving Men for Women | Candace Walsh, Laura Andr�

Currently reading this interesting book.
All the stories are raw, truthful and very honest. These stories don't sugar coat it if a mistake was made they own up to it.

Megabooks #stacked thanks!! 6y

kaysworld1 @Megabooks Do you live in the UK? I would send it to you when I was finished if you did xx 6y

Megabooks @kaysworld1 unfortunately, no. But thank you anyway! 💜 6y

kaysworld1 @AlobelThee Hello there my lovely 🤗 I was wondering if you would be interested in some queer book's I have read recently I would love to pass them along to you. Let me know 👍🌈🌹☕ 6y

Dan_SpiderCrafts @kaysworld1 Thanks for the offer! I'd best pass this time, being in a position of assisting home care for my mom, with a grumpy dad who has me using iBooks more often. Things are good, but they may tend to over-worry with queer reads more often, while I'm working on positive witchcraft with them. 😜💖 Do let me know the titles. I'll sure check them out on your lists! 🇨🇦 6y

I Can't Remember: Family Stories of Alzheimer's Disease | Esther Strauss Smoller

1. I can not remember a single book I read for school that I‘ve felt the need to revisit. I will say Esperanza Rising left an impression after reading it for my children‘s lit class but I‘d never want to read it again.
2. Teal
3. I finished Charmed (the new version) last night.
4. Maybe a griffin or a Pegasus. I just want to fly. Lol

Everything Changes: The Insider's Guide to Cancer in Your 20's and 30's | Kairol Rosenthal

I‘ve always had a fairly large TBR but large doesn‘t describe it any longer. My husband says it‘s out of control but he‘s not a reader so doesn‘t get it. I listen to audiobooks regularly instead of seldom and the Litsy community has introduced me to books I might not have noticed otherwise. I love having my reading horizon busted wide open.

Ddzmini Have you seen my tbr 🙌🏽😳📖📚📚📚📚🤭 6y

Not Taco Bell Material | Adam Carolla

A local library in my new area had a "book grab" where the books were free. I grabbed this one thinking I couldn't go wrong for free and I was right.

Adam Carolla is crass, foul mouthed and anything but politically correct and, surprisingly, I found that refreshing. His stories were funny and entertaining. He said what he meant and meant what he said

While this was not a typical read for me, I give it a thumbs up.
