I love books, music, nature, art, jigsaw puzzles, travel, and kindness.
My personality is well represented by my water bottle stickers and my book choice this morning - "Ordinary Time: Lessons Learned While Staying Put" by Annie B. Jones. I'm a "stayer" evidenced by the fact that today is my 42nd wedding anniversary. I'm also an introvert but willing to discuss books.

🙌🏼 I’m not sure who had the amazing idea to invite this constitutional lawyer to a senate hearing that intended to prove Biden colluded with Meta to censor conservatives, but she took the opportunity to speak truth to power ✊🏼 on the hypocrite 👑 KING OF FREE SPEECH, Donald Trump, himself. 👏🏼 Brava!!

Growing up, I was told that the demise of Christianity would be caused by our country rejecting God.
Now I believe it is actually caused by Christians blatantly rejecting the teachings of Jesus for the sake of political power.

My reading goals in 2025 are to read more non-fiction & more owned books. I didn't do well on those particular goals this month. Reading was my coping mechanism. Also a form of resistance. Read to keep your mind open to ideas & possibilities, to learn from different perspectives, to stay informed.

I enjoyed the characters and the world building in this book, as well as certain insights into how those with power use that power. In the right hands, it can be a force for good, but for those who seek personal gain, it is a thing of great and malevolent evil.

It’s almost like they want to keep America stupid—less financially stable & thus more controllable.
“Republican lawmakers are considering a change to tax policy that would make college more expensive for students receiving grants and scholarships to help pay their tuition bill.”
Republican Proposal Would Make College Scholarships Taxable Income
Republican lawmakers are considering making college scholarships fully taxable to help pay for continuing tax cuts that mostly benefit wealthy families.

Such an interesting book. Astronauts observe earth from orbit, 16 passes make up a single 24 hr day. Reflections on the fragility and enormity of life, how we are both connected to and separated from each other. I listened, but also plan to read it, to better savor and ponder its important message.

Today we honor the great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Let this be a day in remembrance of him and the selflessness he exhibited for all of humanity.
Let us also remember the great human that was President Jimmy Carter, as we continue to fly our flags at half mast to honor his memory.

Began 2025 with a book from my tbr list. Tragic, terribly beautiful, epic story about a boy from China who ends up in the elite academic world of the Oxford Royal Institute of Translation, a place with a veneer of scholarship and magic that masks a dark and horrible secret. 4.75⭐️
