7th grader Simon O'Keeffe and his family move to Grin And Bear It, Nebraska, which is part of the National Quiet Zone where radio and hence wifi devices are banned to help the work of radio astronomers.

An enjoyable black comedy about finding friends and incidentally recovering from traumatic episodes in the past. Some truly lol moments.

10% of the way in I thought my partner would like this story so I looked up whether it had been made into a film or TV series and one of the top ghits has a massive spoiler in the snippet it shows.

My first audio book on audible is The Body Keeps Score.

I am liking this book a lot, the first chapter is about the after effects of the Vietnam War.
This book doesn't hold back.

Chelseabillups30

Beneath the surface of the protective parts of trauma survivors there exists an undamaged Essence, a Self that is confident, curious, and calm...

A Self that has been sheltered from destruction by the various protectors that have emerged in their efforts to ensure survival.

Once those protectors trust that it is safe to separate, the Self will spontaneously emerge, and the parts can be enlisted in the healing process.

A great read about the impact of war, generational trauma, and the importance of human connection. Alternating perspectives of individuals in Las Vegas, centering the war in Iraq and the aftermath on soldiers and their families, as well as an immigrant family. In-depth inner dialogue and emotional lives of the featured characters who all struggle, but do their best. A great audio as well!

BarbaraBB I loved those one! 4mo

Late to the game because Monday is busy.

1) Good-ish. Landed on a direction for my next Toastmasters speech, so that‘s always a mental load off. Got my taxes finished. I was unemployed almost the whole year so it didn‘t take long.

2) I think positive affirmations are good for people. In the US, at least, the culture seems to be so focused on the negative and tearing people down for anything they do. Positive affirmations can help buoy us.
