“Her voice sounded rich and pure, as clean and gentle as spring. It made tears well in his eyes and he swallowed them to quench the dryness in his throat. He continued walking, afraid to reach for the cup in case the momentum hurled him to the ground. The woman brought the water to his mouth and tenderly cupped the back of his head, steadying him for a sip.
“I‘ll walk with you, just open your mouth,” she said.” #maazamengiste

My friend, Jayatta - though several hundred miles away - still spoils me rotten via her thoughtfulness and the postal service. She keeps me supplied with fresh bookmarks, notepads, journals, and, TODAY a signed copy of this book!🙏🏾🥰🎈#bookishfriends #signedfirsteditions #gratitude #maazamengiste #gifts

TheBookAddict You have a really good friend. Enjoy your gifts. 😊 5y

Lesliereads @TheBookAddict @readordierachel ....and I had been down in the dumps because of some setbacks but now all I can think about is how the power of moral support, kindness, and delight amongst friends (gifts like those pictured are the whipped cream and cherries on top!) keeps us afloat when other things are letting us down🥰💘. 5y

Nute I hope that you are doing well. Life‘s journey can be rocky at times and feel like tribulations are coming from every direction. One of my favorite quotes comes from Winnie-the Pooh (I know, right? Don‘t judge.) - “There is something you must always remember... You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” I love that quote as a self-care message during tough times. Setbacks? You‘ll figure things out!💕 5y
