pickI‘m always surprised how much story RPE creates inside these little books. I own all three books but didn‘t realize they were a series and picked the third book to read. My opinion might differ if I had the backstory, but I was never sure if I was Team Faye or Team Blythe - both seemed lovely. … This book written in 2000 has several lines reading as micro aggressions today - I wonder if I‘d have realized that 24 years ago - I hope so.
pickExcellent short story of the meaning of Christmas and the importance of family. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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. 🤦🏻♀️
My Goodwill finds from this evening. $5 for the pair. 📚 💚
pickA story of living a life to its fullest with love and compassion, even while dying. Author Mitch Albom‘s life takes an unexpected turn when he finds out his favorite college professor is dying of ALS. What was initially a singular visit turns into weekly flights from Detroit to Boston to capture his old professor‘s last lecture on life🤍.
pickA quick reread while my kids played at the park. I love this reminder to cherish the small moments and not just get caught up in work. “Life is made up of moments, small pieces of glittering mica in a long stretch of gray cement.”
