This book was a pleasure to read. Sweet, clean, with faith underlying the actions of the MCs… And there were enough little things to figure out and twists in the plot to make the story hold my interest. It was a win for me. #inspirational #historical #Americanwest #cowboysandschoolmarms
I‘m starting this one again. Loved the fast pace of the plot and that it‘s a clean read. #cleanread #inspirational #suspense

💇♀️ A much-overdue haircut on Wednesday (it‘s ~8 in. shorter!)
📚 Seeing a family walking in my neighborhood & noticing one of the kids lagging behind the rest… because she was reading a book while walking.💜
🥗 Dinner with one of my best friends (pictured is the amazing salad I had!)
🗣️ Encouraging conversations as I‘m gathering info on becoming a spiritual director
🍽️ Looking forward to lunch tomorrow with another close friend
1 - Walking Off The Paved Pathway. My journey as I venture out of my comfort zone.
2 - Never read the book, yet the other day we watched the movie, “The Secret.“
My mom always raised my brother and I to think positively, be positive. In our cultural ways, my mom has even taught me that in everything I make, cooking/baking, gardening, craft/arts, to be positive while creating because what you make absorbs the energies.
This movie hit home.
1. “Brick by Brick: Navigating Life's Pages Through Illness, Exhaustion, and Joy“ (Brick-by-Brick referring to my love of LEGO and other building blocks)
2. The tagged book. It pulls at the heartstrings!

I‘ve read and reread slim nonfiction book over the years. Each time I find new things that speak to me. Lindbergh compares different stages in a woman‘s life to various shells she finds on the beach. The shells aren‘t the point; it‘s what they represent that carries the weight of the work. She touches on maintaining your individuality as a woman despite marriage and motherhood, a difficult balance to find.
I don‘t like kitschy. I don‘t like sappy. So I was quite worried about this. It surprised me. Eddie dies trying to save young girl in a Ferris wheel accident. We know it‘s coming, so don‘t worry, that‘s not a spoiler! ☺️ The narrative follows him as he meets 5 important people in his life. I enjoyed the contemplative nature, the inter-connectedness of humanity. If you want to get off the roller-coaster and take a nice swan boat ride, this is it.
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!
