Unfortunately I didn't get to finish The Wedding People before it was due back at the library. I think I'll try this one next. It's been on my TBR forever, and I'm trying to get back into meditation and mindfulness. Thich Nhat Hanh should be a good guide.

A quick listen, though I was supposed to read this slowly, as the title suggests. I liked it, though I‘m not sure how much will stick, so it would be better to have this in print for a bigger impact. Several points really resonated and would be excellent for people to hear, especially the sections about finding the common ground and realizing that often religions have more in common than what separates them. Delight in the simple things in life.

Happy Imbolc 🌞 Spring is on its way. 🌷
I hope you've enjoyed the last 2 months as much as I have. #MWS is always a big help to get me through the shorter days.

Meh. Read a few pages each day. For sure, there were some pieces of advice that resonated with me and made me think about how I approach some situations or people.
But there were also many quotes that sounded trite or off, to the point I wondered what was the original problem this monk was replying to. Don‘t feel much calmer after reading, but given the times, maybe remaining just okay is saying a lot.

Read for #NaturalItsy #LitSolace this was a lovely little book. While not every point made was applicable to me, there were lots of ideas, thoughts & quotes that resonated & that I highlighted. A good calming read overall for a January that‘s gone crazy. 🍵
At the airport, waiting to board with Hilo Tuesday on repeat.
Finishing up this thoughtful title from #Naturalitsy #MidWinterSolace #BuddyRead. I‘ve been taking my time with it. 🧘🏻♀️🍵
There are a few gem reflections in this, a book that purposely asks the reader to take their time reading. It‘s reflective and calming. Admittedly, there were a few times I did not quite agree with the author‘s musings, but that may be the point—it opens for good discussion. Overall, a lovely book. Great pick for the #MidWinterSolace #BuddyRead !

This little book is packed with so much wisdom! I started listening on audio, and quickly realized I needed a print copy, because I wanted to highlight passages, write in the margins, flip back and forth through the pages, and come back to again and again. A gem.
What a perfect choice for #LitSolace #MidwinterSolace , @AllDebooks !
