Peace. We need it.
How about when you have lots on your plate and you’re feeling stressed and overwhelmed? When things aren’t going your way or you’re facing a challenge.
Do you quit? How do you rise up from the emotional and physical tolls of life?
Sometimes (or a lot of times) you gotta talk to yourself, and remind yourself that you don’t have to do this alone.
The concept of a book club has always been intriguing – it’s a chic thing to do, a fun social activity among friends or other groups. But I’ve never been able to commit. I don’t read very quickly, and if I’m not drawn to a story, or real life distracts me, I fail miserably. So that’s why I never said yes. Until now.
My youngest sister, Maia, asked us (Melissa, Michael, and I) if we were interested in participating in a Read-a-Thon (“Paloozathon”) she’s hosting from the 18th-31st, in celebrate of her and her best friend’s birthdays (August babies).
The goal is to read 8 books in that amount of time. Insert the popular gif of the guy blinking and doing a double take! That was a surefire way for me to not do this. I barely finish one book in two weeks.
I think one of the sweetest things in life is a handwritten card. I love it, sending them out and receiving them. There are different occasions to send notes and letters. Birthdays, thank you’s, sympathy, special events, or just because. To the recipient, it’s a physical sign of good thoughts being sent his or her way. Plus, what’s cooler than opening up your mailbox and seeing a colorful envelope among the bills?
