For those of you who are retired or getting close to retiring I hope you can take some Inspiration from John O‘Donohue. I love everything about this blessing, with every line carrying a potent offering.
This book is special to me not only because of the brilliance of this Irishman but because I purchased this collection while traveling in Ireland.
Thank you AMY! I love my birthday package - The books are great choices! and i love blank books 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 And of course the rest is necessary for self care 💛😘
so-soI‘ve been trying to process this one for ages now. The first part is a good conversation starter. The second half is such a patchwork of pre-fab prayers it‘s hard to take them as genuine. Maybe if this had been done as a collaboration between the author and other people on the paths for these prayers it might seem more genuine and therefore be more helpful. By the end, my eyes were sort of crossed and I was just happy it was over.
pickWe are reading Emerson right now in my 11th grade co-taught English class. I bought this book of his poem, “ Father, We Thank You” because its impressionist style illustrations are quietly beautiful.

Delighted to recieve my #Jolabokaflod parcel yesterday!

pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️This is specifically about prayer, but embedded in that is all her ways of making you feel like openness and goodness and God, whoever She really is, are important and easy and just possible in ways that in everyday life seem...less possible. I wish it had been a bit longer or more full or somehow made me slow down & reflect, but there is also much I will take with me, and I'm, as always, grateful for her voice & care.
so-soSimply papercut style art paired with an extensive collection of prayers, poems and songs from various traditions on the subject of gratitude. Too religious for me personally, so more of a so-so than a pick, but there are some real gems hidden in these pages, and it seemed appropriate for today.
Happy Thanksgiving to any Littens celebrating today, and a day of joy and peace to all!
