The Salt Path | Raynor Winn

'Excited, afraid, homeless, fat, dying, but at least if we made that first step we had somewhere to go, we had a purpose. And we really didn't have anything better to do at half past three on a Thursday afternoon than to start a 630-mile walk.'

TrishB This book was like a horror story for me. Wild camping and wet socks…. 13h
Suet624 @TrishB oh, you‘re right! 13h
Leniverse @TrishB @Suet624 Yes, the walking part appeals to me, the camping part not so much! And I'm so upset about how they lost their farm! 12h
Suet624 I was too. 😩 11h

From Here to the Great Unknown: A Memoir | Lisa Marie Presley, Riley Keough

Audio-puzzling with a view!

I don‘t have a huge interest in Elvis or his life, but this was well-reviewed on here and was available on audio on BorrowBox so I thought I‘d give it a go, and I‘m so glad I did.

It‘s an unusual format, but really worked to tell Lisa Marie‘s (and Riley‘s) story. I learned so much about their lives, most of it heartbreakingly sad, but Riley took care to tell how great a mother Lisa Marie was.

- Weekend away in London was awesome! Absolutely knackered now though - I think it will take me several more days to recover.

-Tagged book: I appreciate the term “lezzing off” so much 😂

- Bath bomb was another LushxMinecraft collab: Diamond Ore. These are so well done…I love how they look, smell and feel. #bathbomb #minecraft #london #lush

I really enjoyed reading about how much Hilarie loves her life and the people in her small New York State community. She loves all things witchy from mythology & goddesses, herbs & berries, planets & astrology, poetry and her collection of words is wisdom. She even purchased a haunted house. She seems to live a hygge life and I‘m down for that.

“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

Hello #SheSaid

If you were able to get ahold of this book, how did you like this week‘s sections? If not, did you sign up to get my book as it travels around visiting?

Sorry for the late post, but we can talk in the comments 😉

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. 3d

One of my closest friends (pictured) received news that his mother has terminal cancer. He‘s amazing & so is she.

She had him when she was 16. She worked to give him & his 4 younger brothers a full life. She‘s 54-years-old, & a hospice nurse. She lost her mom young & volunteers with kids who know that same loss. She teaches yoga. She goes zip-lining. She dances freely & grows beautiful flowers.

There‘s a GoFundMe to help with medical bills.👇🏻
