pickThese are brief encouragements to keep going, reminders that we are each unique, special, loved, and worthy. There‘s nothing particularly earth shattering here, but if you need a pick-me-up, it‘s worth dipping into. I wouldn‘t recommend reading it all in one go, though. It‘s nice to actually finish a book, even if I didn‘t love it. Not being able to stick with anything is very stressful and that makes it harder to stick with something. 🤦🏻♀️

What was initially a singular visit turns into weekly flights from Detroit to Boston to capture his old professor‘s last lecture on life🤍.

pickObviously a bit tear provoking but such good sentiments and reminders to us of what matters in life.
“The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love. And to let it come in.”
His voice dropped to a whisper. "We think we don't deserve love. We think if we let it, we'll become too soft. But love is the only rational act.”

pickLess detail about the food & meals being eaten would have been preferable; but, overall ~ a thoughtful read.
