Although I took a big break on this book. I want to say, this quote really spoke to me, and I snapped a picture of the book. I was cleaning out my “book club pictures,“ where I have random things in it, and saw this and felt I should share.

Update on my #10beforetheEnd. I've managed to read 7/10 which isn't bad. But I started the tagged book in July so would like to finish it before the new year. I can save the Jaouad and Bennett for 2026. @ChaoticMissAdventures

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

There is a reason Margaret Atwood is the Queen! Her signature wit and precision is on full display in this book, re-stitching events from “The Odyssey” from a sharp and haunting female perspective. The 20th anniversary edition is stunning!

BookBr What a gorgeous edition!! I saw the theatrical version a few years back with Megan Followes and it was so impactful too 4d
ICantImReading @BookBr I can‘t get over how pretty it is! Oh wow, that sounds incredible!! I would love to see that! 2d

I went to Maui Friends of the Library in Kīhei yesterday and came away with some fun stuff! They had tons of lovely Hawaiiana and I had to keep reminding myself how much space is left in my suitcase!
2 books, 2 cds (yes, I still listen to cds 👵🏻), and a set of cards made by a Maui artist named Shanti Rowley! +1 free bookmark
Very friendly staff as well. 🌺📚 Mahalo!

I constantly try to fit in in WV. My son and I just had a several hours long conversation about masking- something I‘ve done purposefully since High School (for senior celebrity i was class ditz) Sometimes it is to reduce loneliness and sometimes it is for ease- but now I feel myself slipping in and out of the masks because it feels necessary and appropriate in the situation. Sometimes life-ing is just hard!

GingerAntics Yes. It was an utter failure. 1mo
TheBookHippie No. However. That too creates a whole other set of issues. 1mo
GingerAntics Can I switch to @TheBookHippie ‘s answer? 1mo
BookwormAHN Also yes and it sucked. For my senior year of high school little witchy me made friends with this girl who was really sweet but she and her friends (who were also pretty nice) were extremely religious Baptists. And to get along with them I had to play good little Christian girl. I know it was my choice but I about drove myself crazy 🤦🏼‍♀️ 1mo
ravenlee I mostly don‘t try very hard, but I do kind of…selectively mask? Depending on my setting, I dial down certain aspects of my personality. The person I am with the homeschool moms is slightly different than with the dance moms, and pretty different still from the me who is a working musician. I don‘t try to be someone who will be loved and accepted by everyone, but I guess I do try to be…acceptable? in a given situation. 1mo

I really appreciate the opportunity in this book to recognize me. I am a pretty messy, emotional, curious and caring person. I can be judgy at times (my shadow side) and do strive to be compassionate. I‘m also frustrated with myself for not being smarter, more organized and less chaotic.

GingerAntics I think my authentic self is me without masking. Letting myself stim when I need to. Letting myself move away from bright lights and loud noises when I need to. It‘s just me making space for those needs and taking care of those needs in ways that work within the situation (or moving out of the situation if those small modifications aren‘t being honoured or allowed). 1mo

Hi friends! As you can tell I am not someone who is consistent with timelines and due dates. My combination of Chronic Epstein Barr (2 week flare i think i‘m at end of) and ADHD (I really struggle with planning ahead) mean I will be getting posts out but not on a consistent timeline. Please feel free to post at anytime whenever you choose- and wherever you are in the book.

Chrissyreadit I think i still wrestle with guilt if I am not putting my energy into mothering others. I am working on the concept of self care- but i apply it to myself as a drill sergeant instead of as a mother. I really need to think about how and what mothering myself could be. 1mo
GingerAntics This is a hard one for me. I don‘t understand the idea of mothering yourself. Mothering means taking care of someone and when you‘re doing the taking care of, there are only very limited ways you can be the recipient of that. Literally, kids have to be taught self care. Maybe it‘s just self care. I don‘t know. The math doesn‘t math for me on this. Maybe it‘s just me. 1mo
TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit @GingerAntics I can‘t use the word mother/mom without my skin crawling but I do remind myself and even get reminded by MR BH -“what would your Grandma say, she would say take the break eat the cookie, drink the tea, snuggle in the blanket… the world can wait.” I use that every morning -I slow start mornings&eat a good breakfast -because that‘s what she‘d tell me to do. Make food share it, bake bread it helps she would say. ⬇️ 1mo

TheBookHippie ⬆️ not exactly self care but it‘s what works for me. If nothing else use -Christine loves me she wants me to eat well rest well take care of me. ♥️ it‘s hard I know. 1mo
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie 🧡🧡🧡 your grandmother is so awesome! I totally get having a negative response to “mother.” Mine isn‘t entirely negative, which almost makes it more confusing. 1mo
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics my very good friend who has passed on through the veil use to tell me to just think of Love as an entity or being and use that in place of mother. Love wants you to be you, take care of you because it‘s love. 1mo
Chrissyreadit @GingerAntics I feel like i need to explore the archetype of mother and mothering vs the verb. I‘m wrestling with the patriarchal view compared to what a matriarchal tribal view would be. @TheBookHippie too. 1mo
TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit I‘ve been researching Matriarchal in religion and how it was killed by the patriarchy … 😵‍💫😭 1mo
TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit report back if you find interesting things. I do think it needs to be explored. 1mo
GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit @TheBookHippie I knew this group was going to be perfect for reading When God was a Woman! 1mo
AnnCrystal 💝💝💝 Hopefully you're at the ending point of the flare-up 💝💝💝. 1mo
Chrissyreadit @GingerAntics it‘s such a good book! 1mo
dabbe Your timelines are perfect for me as I am way behind. I learn so much just from reading these posts! Thank you all for your insight about yourselves and what it means to be a woman; they're so thoughtful and helpful. And @Chrissyreadit, hope you're feeling better soon! ♥️🍁🤎 1mo
GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit I wasn‘t sure I was going to like it and then I noticed I was like 75% done. So I didn‘t read it at all for several days to make it last. I should have just finished it. lol 1mo

Sedna is mentioned in the first part of this chapter so i thought i would share the Goddess card reflection of her I have. If you read it I would be curious to hear how it was received or impacted your thoughts in relation to this chapter and yourself.

AnnCrystal I love this! Sedna was one of the first I read about when I began researching my own Ancestral World.

My ancestors are from Arizona, grandma of my mom's mother.

But I consider the whole of the Americas as my Ancestral World.

This was fascinating for me. Not the tragic of the story, because is felt equal in the extraordinary elements to the tales I read from other “outside“ cultures. From Greece, Nordic, Egypt, Asian, etc.

Epic 👏🏼🤩👍🏼💝💝.
