Hello #SheSaid!

How is the book going? I‘m way behind and still packing, but hoping to be on the other side soon and able to unwind with this book. So I hope it‘s a good one!

vlwelser I'm reading this alone it seems 😂 serves me right for lurking while you all read the last one. The book is good even if it's a bit slow. 5d
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Bookwormjillk you are welcome, I‘m glad it arrived safely. Just let me know when you are ready to pass it on. No rush, holidays and all. 4d
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @vlwelser I started it last night! So go me! U-Haul and big furniture goes tomorrow so hopefully I can be settled in enough to read this one before the end of the month 😂 4d
vlwelser You're fine. I'm trying to stay on schedule because I have to travel for the holiday. Is there a January book yet? I like to plan and I didn't see a book list. 4d
Deblovestoread I‘m refining my commitments for the new year and would like to be removed from the tag list. Thank you 🩵 4d
Singout I don‘t think I‘m going to get very far with this one because I really want to do my #nonfiction2024 ones and I‘m helping my elderly parents move! (to a seniors‘ residential home😢). So I feel a bit of your pain. 3d

Hello #SheSaid!

Sorry for the very late post today. I am in the process of moving and just completely lost track of time today. But, better late than never I guess…

Everyone get the book and get a chance to start it yet, or everyone running behind like me. 🫠

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @MallenNC & @DGRachel thank you both. It‘s a process that‘s for sure! 😂 2w
Karisa Good luck with your move! I‘m just starting the book. Had to grab the audio version since the other has a two week more wait. 2w
charl08 Hope the move goes well. My copy hasn't arrived yet, fingers crossed it comes soon! 2w
AllDebooks Good luck with the move. I'm about to start audio version 🎧 2w
Bookwormjillk Good luck with your move. I‘m hoping to start this week. 2w
vlwelser Good luck with the move! I hate moving. I did read the first section and it was slow at first but I'm definitely getting into it. I love that she uses the logic that if you're crazy you think you don't belong in an institution. That circular logic that allows them to keep you. Looking forward to the next section. 2w

Becoming a Matriarch | Helen Knott

I turned toward the big scary things looming in the distance and let myself feel them, and to let myself fall apart, trusting that Creator would put me back together again after it had passed. Mama rarely cried or showed fear, and I knew a part of this had to do with her desire to protect us. I couldn‘t follow her down this path. I made a mark in my map, broke the endless loop, and created a new way. #SheSaid

Hello #SheSaid

Such an odd feeling this week, reading this section about grief, about holding things in and letting them out, about taking up the burden to help others, and then carrying that weight. And how holding it all in our bodies is not great for us…. I need to let it sink in more to comment, but I think we all need to let it out more, stop holding it in to make others comfortable…

“The world will Always Take what you are willing to give.”

We all need to be a little less willing to give, remember the old saying, ‘put on your oxygen mask first or you can not help anyone else‘. Save some space for yourself to just be, refresh, regenerate, get grounded, and just be in the moment and refill your own well before everyone drains you dry. “The world will always take what you are willing to give.” Save a little you for yourself

Riveted_Reader_Melissa There are a few quotes from those section that really stuck with me, I‘ll post them too. But although this is so much a book about the women in her family and their lives and letting them go, I love the way she grows through it & learns to be loving and fierce herself….become her own female head of the family. 1mo

Hello #SheSaid!

I‘m really enjoying this book so far, not much overlap with her previous book, but the talk about matriarchs, carrying on the traditions over multiple generations, ties to & fighting for the land, the continuing line despite it all, the people that we lean on & in turn become the ones approached to lean on, all feel very solid & centering to me this week. Terrible things happen to people & a people, but humans & families carry on.
