Late to the game because Monday is busy.
1) Good-ish. Landed on a direction for my next Toastmasters speech, so that‘s always a mental load off. Got my taxes finished. I was unemployed almost the whole year so it didn‘t take long.
2) I think positive affirmations are good for people. In the US, at least, the culture seems to be so focused on the negative and tearing people down for anything they do. Positive affirmations can help buoy us.

pick4⭐️ I had some issues with the book. While it was a really good book, I had some trouble finding out what this book wanted to be: is it supposed to be a #historicalfiction book or a #contemporaryfiction book? I liked the contemporary timeline over the historical timeline. There were some details that I missed or glossed over and will probably want to reread the book. #2025 #fiction #readalong
pickAn excellent, timely read about individual and generational trauma which is often inseparable. Also, it‘s a story of hope. Wilkerson is very good at storytelling.
Seren and I had a cozy evening with this memoir. Reached about the halfway mark, but now I need to get some sleep!
