After reviewing my decision to read a book likely to focus to some degree on trauma and marginalisation, I decided to switch to this illustrated book about the planet Jupiter, and open myself to the wonders of nature and the universe 🌌
In the cup is a cinnamon and plum green tea 🍵
I'll get to the other book next year.
We‘ve been conjuring up ❄️ snowflakes here. These are made with paper lunch sacks, brown or white.

Many snowflakes = snow day 😁
Started this Nov 26. I haven‘t listened to it since. 🤷🏼♀️it‘s not bad, my attention is hard to capture and hold lately in anything and everything.
Life has been life-ing lately and I would rather just zone out to oblivion. Things will change and I‘ll get back to reading.
I colored this picture and wrote this about it.

pickI started reading about NDE years ago. I watch documentaries and listen to podcasts about it. Atwater took a deep dive into studying it after having had her own NDE, and has written several books on the subject; her NDE is told in detail in her book ‘Coming Back to Life‘. This new book has got to be one of the best I‘ve ever read on the subject as she goes into a lot of detail about culture, science, metaphysics, and more. Fascinating!
“I try to suggest not going that far,” Daza-Flores says. He tries to get inside their heads, to see why they‘re asking for this. Is it something their partner wants? He counsels patients against getting implants to please someone else. Because, as he puts it, the surgeries often outlast the relationships. He has had patients who‘ve “changed out their breast implants every time they change boyfriends.”
bailedThis is my second Mary Roach book, and I just don't think she's for me. I almost felt like her writing is overly familiar; like I'm expected to understand her personality and drive and humor right out the gate. Therefore, I never really get to know her, and it is hard to connect to her voice in the book. There also didn't seem to be a purpose to her choices of topics other than her whims or whomever would talk with her, unless that's just the ARC.
