Hello friends from the #LitsySnailMailClub, we wanted to let you know that we‘ve gotten some new members so please check out our address document, which is growing everyday! If you need the link again or want to update or add to your info, please let us know. For those who have written to me via snail mail, I was having issues getting my mail and all of a sudden, a bunch came at once! I promise to reply soon💕
It‘s not as morbid as it sounds. I am not sure that this is a typical Litsy read. But sometimes I have to get into my deep reading.
"When someone has a strong opinion about something, it usually says more about *them* than whatever or whomever the opinion happens to be about. This is especially true when it comes to resentment and hatred of other people."
My family has been reading one entry from this book each day as part of our bedtime routine (my youngest is 16, and we still make a point of touching base at bedtime). Some are meh; others really hit the mark.
I feel like I‘ve had to keep reminding myself not to suppress my emotions lately. I wanna encourage everyone to sit with their emotions today. Good & bad because those thoughts make up who we are. 💪

pickI started this about 9 months ago; been reading through it slowly. It‘s not a work to consume so much as something to snack on. On a day when you‘re feeling the need for something less hollow than a positive affirmation, this is a good one to pick up. It‘s clear that Aurelius was an introspective man, & his insights into himself has helped me many a day when I have found myself questioning my actions & purpose.
Also really love this edition.

virtue whispers through the cracks

My family (spouse, kids, me) have been meeting up every evening for nearly 15 years to each share 1 thing we're grateful for, 1 thing we're sorry about, and 1 thing we intend for the next day. Recently we've added 1 thing we learned that day and an excerpt from the tagged. It's been helping all of us to reflect, like the Stoics, on what is in our control vs what isn't and to try to put our energy into the former.
