The Choice: Escape your past and embrace the possible | Edith Eger

#RedRoseSeptember I‘m always in awe and complete admiration when a survivor of any unspeakable horror is able to acknowledge that despite the trauma and hell they‘ve been through, they still see the hope and beauty that exists in this world. A reminder to each of us, every day is a blessing 🙏🏻#WonderfulLife The Choice is still on my TBR and I‘ve read Viktor Frankl‘s powerful manifesto. #NeverAgain #NeverForget

TrishB He is certainly one of those people you are talking about 💕 2d

Cinfhen So I‘ll make sure to have tissues handy @TrishB 2d

Cinfhen ❣️❣️❣️❣️ @erzascarletbookgasm @Megabooks I was being sort of “difficult” the other day, complaining to hubs about how much “work” it is to prepare for company and then I thought, how lucky am I that I‘m able to offer food and shelter to friends and I get to spend quality time with them. It‘s all about attitude readjustment. I went from being resentful to grateful and it made such a difference. 2d

Megabooks @Cinfhen I‘ve definitely been pulling a lot of breathing in “bad thing” breathing out gratitude for all I have to fix what‘s wrong in my life. Other people definitely have it worse! 2d

Cinfhen @Megabooks perspective is vital ♥️sending you positive vibes xx 2d

Dragonfairykats @Megabooks Never think your problems are "less" than someone else's! All of our situations are unique, and what we're going through is as important as the next person. Your pain is big to you, and, because all our situations are different, cannot be compared to others' pain. I've had to learn that God can handle everyone's problems & none are less or more important than another. The way we react to our issues definitely influences how we feel. ⬇️ 2d

Dragonfairykats Sending love and happiness to those in need! 💗 2d

Cinfhen Agreed @Dragonfairykats well said xx 2d

Megabooks @Dragonfairykats Definitely well said! I am grateful for the advantages I do have, but you‘re right that my problems are real. Thank you for the love! 2d

gradcat Oh, my heart—I love the Frankl book! Nice post! ♥️♥️ 1d

Cinfhen @gradcat 😘😘 1d

The Only Plane in the Sky: An Oral History of 9/11 | Garrett M. Graff

I just got this book today. I made the mistake of starting to read it 4 hours ago. I can't put it down, and it's really way past my bedtime. Even before I'm finished reading I can tell you, this is an important book to have in your library. Riveting first hand accounts of the sights and smells and sounds of that day. #neverforget #911tragedy #unitedwestanddividedwefall

Kayla.Adriena I just watched 102 minutes that changed America on the history channel. I can't even imagine 😫 4d

Crazeedi @Kayla.Adriena yes it's similar to that, like 500 plus people talking in this book. I😢 4d

Cinfhen I just finished the audio for this 9/11 book ~ and it was emotionally draining but worth every tear and I shed HUNDREDS

New York City, I love you. You‘ve been my home for the past decade, & my fave vacation destination as a child. I became a woman here. It‘s crazy to believe 18 years ago I was a high school freshman worried I might never see you again. I love you, I love you. I‘ll #NeverForget.

DGRachel Probably not an ideal read for work, but I just downloaded the audiobook and will plug in now. Thanks for reminding me about this book. :) 7d

Cinfhen I can‘t stop listening @DGRachel hope you find it just as compelling 7d

arubabookwoman I just read this--in a mere 3 days despite its length. I couldn't stop reading. I think,though, it might be too emotionally difficult for some of the people personally affected by 9/11 to read even now 18 years later. 7d

Cinfhen I couldn‘t agree more @arubabookwoman I‘ve broken down several times and I‘m only on chapter 8. It‘s some of the most heartbreaking material to listen to. And I‘m sure for those connected the trauma would come seeping back 💔 7d

britt_brooke This is one of my top reads this year. Zuckoff did an amazing job humanizing 9/11. It was absolutely draining, but I could not stop listening. These stories need to be heard. 6d

Cinfhen I agree @britt_brooke THIS will definitely BE my TOP audio and probably book of the year. I haven‘t stopped crying 😭 6d
