I love learning this kind of stuff! 🧐
You didn’t hear this from us, but the Old English word 'sibb' meant “related by blood.”

This is where we get the 'sibling.'

And 'godsibb' essentially meant “godparent.”

Over time, it came to mean "close friend."

Now it is something we share w/ close friends...

'gossip.'

I’m glad I’m not the only one who sees it this way! No, I’m not a bitter Lions fan. I’m just tired of the expected outcome. Cinderella stories are more enjoyable…if and when they happen. 🦁 (next year?)

My loves, if you find today or any day difficult for you, I find there can be comfort in Tolkien’s words.
While some times may be terrifying, infuriating, or devastating, it is never hopeless.
