Welcome to Litsy!

Love Anne Lamott! Her faith-infused essays and honest outlook on life are always healing for the soul and just what I needed to read. Although this moving book was published in 2014, Anne‘s life lessons on grief, forgiveness, community, friendship and grace still hit home.
And yes, Anne‘s words even got Frost‘s attention! 😸

Every Book in the Right Time by Molly Templeton: https://reactormag.com/every-book-in-the-right-time/

I found this edition while scanning the shelves in an indie bookstore in Seattle. It was a quick read with a lot of familiar information and ideas—but EKR is always worth reading. I honestly can‘t get enough of books on these topics! The world needs more of them. Death Care and Death Education can be so different, if we allow it to be. Shown: snowberries at Snoqualmie Falls in WA.

A 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🤍.

A 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.”

Obviously 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.”

A fun and colourful look at organising. These girls know how to organise beautifully. I love all the rainbow colour schemes. Not sure I'm that dedicated but did find a few handy tips and storage solutions. 5*

I can see that there is also a tree...in you.

I loved how this book "the tree in me" had a more deep rooted meaning about the main characters life story.
