Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m so grateful my public library has the Palace app now so I can listen to Audible exclusives without having to give money to Bezos 🙌

Sometimes you really need a self-help book to remind you that you have power over your own life—and no control over others. A fatphobic, diet culture heavy chapter didn‘t work for me, but the rest was really helpful as I‘ve been working through how to move with integrity and wisdom through a hard chapter in life.

A phenomenal book about relieving yourself of everyone else‘s problems while empowering you to take control of your own life.

Good advice, though most of it wasn‘t really applicable to me. Helpful to have it broken down into work, family come on friend, etc.

“You can‘t control how you feel. But you can always choose how you act.”

“Focusing on what you can‘t control makes you stressed. Focusing on what you can control makes you powerful.”

“That‘s the problem w/so many adults we‘re all focused on getting it perfect, instead of trying. What ever happened to good enough?”

Note: I haven‘t read the tagged book but think I need to 😂😬🤪🤦‍♀️
Also note: we need healthy boundaries. I‘m trying. Love you, @TheBookHippie and all the #BBB ladies 💚💚 #mondaymood

I'm still missing my friends after a weekend of fun. It's always hard to say good-bye, but there is always another visit to look forward to!

We‘re memorializing our beloved bun today, gone a whole year. I‘ll share here what I wrote otherwhere, as some of you knew Moxie (through my posts), as well.

Modern sound machines offer a vast array of sounds to dream to. Ours, which softly glows to rouse us from sleep, in shades that mimic the sun‘s gentle rise in the morning sky, also offers the reverse, a “sunset simulation for a relaxing bedtime.” 👇🏻

A gift from a friend. “When a friend says, I want to send you a gift, don‘t protest! Just let ‘em!” (I have no idea if that is a good example of what I will learn in this book, but I do respect when a friend wants to give, then embrace the sentiment and allow the joy of receiving.) Thank You, NeEtta! And don‘t let anyone tell you how you are supposed to feel, how you are supposed to grieve, how you need to care for your family 💖 Ignore them?

Audiobook pick:
This book is amazing!! If you haven't read this, you really should. The audiobook was narrated by the author and it was well done.
