Bouncing around to yet another country - borrowered Herta Pauli's 1962 book titled "Her Name was Sojourner Truth" from the library today. I can just feel the history oozing all throughout the pages. This book is a 1st edition, published over 60 years ago.

pickThis spunky, resilient woman faced a lot of horrific circumstances and did some extraordinary things. Well worth the read, though it should be noted that the work is not actually autobiographical.
#MayMoms - Matriarch: Sojourner Truth. Why? Because in 1851 she poised herself in full height at a podium during a Women‘s Convention and permeated the air with the question, “Ain‘t I a Woman?” Because she advocated the abolition of slavery and championed civil and women‘s rights to a nation not ready to accord such basic human principles to all of its citizens/inhabitants/peoples.👇🏽
Wednesday morning during #summerbreak means a stack of illustrated books from the library, binging on Escape to the Chateau DIY, and of course, coffee and lemon loaf!

Accompaniment this cold and wet evening was: salmon, lobster tail, shrimp, mashed potatoes, Caesar salad, biscuits, and unsweetened iced tea. MMMmmm 😋! Happy reads & happy eats! 😎👌🏻
