Hi Littens, as some of you may have heard, our Pope Francis of the Catholic Church is facing a health crisis.
In case you haven't yet heard, I'm posting for all Catholic Littens (or those who don't mind offering a prayer, or good Vibes from your own personal belief perspective).
May all the global united prayers help our precious Pope.
🙏🏼💝.
As commented on @dabbe a few minutes ago:
While I'm good with variety posts, I'm rather new here on Litsy and only know the Litsy as it has been since my joining this magical community.
I find Litsy a safe place, a gathering place that serves a community of members like a mom and pop bookstore. We recognize one another if we visit often. We learn about one another, celebrate each other, offer emotional support, etc.

pickWith Christmas stories, both movies and books, my favorites will always be the ones that build on the foundation of the Holiday. Where the storyline can't just edit out a few scenes or chitchat for the story/characters to easily be transported to another season.
This wasn't festive throughout, yet it would have been weird if it had been, due to the disaster.

1- we made our first batch of Easter/Springtime empanadas, and my mom made Apple Butter out of the leftover filling 😋🍏🥟🍎💝.
2- Our house is officially decorated for Easter/Springtime 🐇🧺✝️🐣🥚.
3- Spring is beginning to bloom in little surprises across our Garden 🌱🌻🌹💖.
4- Coffee...speaks for itself ☕😋.

The Stock Market took a second-day tumble. Many are holding tariffs responsible, and as true as that may be, I am hoping that this is the beginnings of consumers finally uniting!
I just hope that consumers can continue this the whole time little t holds office...and beyond.
👇
It has been 31 Days since little t has been in office...the chaos he has already caused America! And out of the 100 day countdown, we still have 69 days!
Time to fill up my coffee bean box, it is a mixture of three types of coffee. Coffee is my remedy to remain calm ☕🇺🇲🦅🇺🇸🙏.
I think I'm going to need a bigger stash of coffee beans for the remainder of the 3years+.

About one to four million books are born in the USA each year, depending if self-published books are counted.
I learned this last week during an interesting conversation.
Feel like I should have been curious enough to research about this fact years ago.
Has me contemplating some things...🧐🤔💫📚💝.
Thank you @BookmarkTavern for creating this fun play-card.
Something I call a #rechargeathon, which is a marathon of fantasy movies that fuel me with hope.
I had a huge reading slump in January that I posted about https://www.litsy.com/web/post/2831343
For little ones, I read comics.
🪄💫📚💝.

2- St. Valentine's Day. Just because I'm single, doesn't mean I skip out on a reason to eat some chocolate 😂🍫💝.
3- Found the Captain Planet DVD collection at Walmart a few months ago, and I've finally had time to watch while we work on our DIY projects. A childhood favorite 🦸♂️🌎💍💝.

Made this as a gift.
Doll-like figure with a beaded read dress fastened onto the Native Medicine Wheel.
The red dress represents the Missing & Murdered Indigenous Woman and Girls. Wanted to include a red hand, yet I always preferred the dress symbol. Both symbolize the same cause.

pickChristmas vibes weren't really captured here, yet the storyline was good and the characters were likable.
This is about second chances, about escaping living under the influence of a toxic friendship, about not being a people pleaser to those who refuse to value you, and about self discovery.
This was really good, although the the most spicy of Christmas books I have read, which was unexpected 🌶️👀😂.

2- believe I've researched all I can for my next project, and I am happy to finally get really creative.
3- TV, Movies, and Books 📺🎬📚💝💝💝.
4- The community of Litsy 📚💝.

Here is a sneak preview inside my book, Legatee & The Queen Of The Winds (Part one of the House of Juan Novella Duology).
I just uploaded these to the new fantasy book site I joined (introduced by Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks), and realized that I should also share them here for my Litten friends.
There will be six posts. I hope you enjoy this preview of my eco-fantasy.

Thanks @debinhawaii for #5JoysFriday & for the tag 💖🌺💝. Hope you and yours are keeping safe and warm and that your power has returned.
1- Homemade deliciousness, Pizza 🍕, cookies 🍪, and meatballs 😋💝.
2- January 2025 was too chaotic, glad for February 2025 to begin...hopefully far more calmer 🙏💝.
3- sleeping better now that the Rains have been here...and there is more in the forecast! Prayers for those in the scary storms 🙏💝.

Thank you @BookmarkTavern for creating this fun play-card 🫂🙏 hope you like the qoute, and that your difficulties are soon in your past 💝.
Fantasy is my main go-to comfort read.
The Spellshop and Winterwood we're absolutely wonderful (slow going on Winterwood but I loved it).
If you enjoy wacky, I always enjoy, The RileyThorn Mysteries.

Last night, made it to page 20 of 705 pages...the beginnings of an epic 🥳🐉📚💝.
It's early, yet loving this. Like how Murtagh can communicate with his dragon.
Chunkster Tip
If reading a Chunkster before bed, try not to doze off...705 pages wrapped in hardcover becomes mighty hazardous when it smashes onto your face 😂📚💝.

I usually wait until Friday evening to post my five joys just in case something extra special happens...today I figured why not a little bit earlier ☺️💖.
1- No Martial Law has been declared 🙏🇺🇸.
2- firefighters (always grateful) 👨🚒🦸👩🚒🦸♂️🧑🚒🦸♀️🙏💝.
3- Rain should be coming. Hopefully enough, yet calm. Californians are all worried for landsides and toxic run off

And just one more positive qoute for this evening ✨🌌🌠💫...have a good night everyone ☺️💖.

This book is pure magic, with one incredible scene after another. If I had to select one chapter to favorite, or one scene, it would be this one 😍💝 just amazing!
#thespellshopreviewedbyanncrystal
As posted about, I've been reading, yet lately, been finding it difficult to keep myself fully entranced by the words.
I hadn't wanted to finish reading this while I was only able to half immerse myself into the story.
And I'm glad. I wouldn't have been able to truly appreciate the last few chapters if I hadn't hit the pause button for a weekend rechargeathon.

Thank you @Kerrbearlib for creating this #MentalHealthMonday
Well, it had nothing to do with a Christmas slump that I fell into after Jan. 6th, it was purely a reading slump...a real struggle to stay in the story.
Therefore we spent the weekend watching fantasy and Christmas movies (including the TV broadcast of Beauty & The Beast).
It was a rechargeathon, which refuelled my love for all things fantasy and hopefulness.

Ok, maybe I needed another hot minute! 7h
