• Book Fact: Americans are not on Top

  

  Book fact #12 Iceland tops the world in per capita book publishing. The claim that Iceland tops the world in per capita book reading is true, supported by its high rates of book publication and consumption, a strong literary tradition rooted in sagas and poetry, and a culture where reading is a celebrated pastime. A…

• I am Done

  

  I am done with hateful people. I am done with social media chaos. I am done with an app for everything. I am done being a slave to money. I am done with complicated things. I am done worrying about what you think of me. I am done doubting myself. I am done changing myself…

• What Would Happen….

  

  I have seen several posts on social media that say things like “What would happen if you dissappeared and worked on yourself for a year?” I posted a version of that to see what response I would get. I was disappointted. Few people responded. A year is a long time. Humans have a natural aversion…

• Old Hurts

  

  Just when you aren’t looking an old hurt, a forgiven hurt, pops up. You have forgiven the person and the thing they did to hurt you. You even forgot about it. Then there it is. Trying to get in your heart and scratch the scar. Tell it No. Hand it to Gods. Do not give…

• Dedicated Time

  

  Describe one habit that brings you joy. At the risk of sounding smitten, my husband and I devote the first hour of the day to each other. We sometimes talk about what the day holds. Sometimes we don’t talk at all. We made this commitment on day one when we decided to cohabitate. Nothing barring…

• Socializing

  What would you change about modern society? We are a society that interacts with screens as our chaperones. We filter our thoughts and feelings through what we think is going to get us the most likes or follows. I am not a tech snob. I use technology. It has improved my productivity significantly. However the…

• Audiobooks are Real Books

  

  What do you listen to while you work? I listen to audiobooks when I am working on something mundane. Audiobooks are my go to when driving and doing housework. Don’t let anyone shame you for the format you choose to read or the content you enjoy to read! Love & Light, Lori

• Both!

  

  Dogs or cats? All my life I’ve been a cat person and a dog person. However I preferred cats. They are easier to train, easier to take care of and cleaner as house pets. Then somehow over time and a few dogs later, I became so enamored with dogs that I can’t imagine how my…

• Forgiveness over Dinner

  

  If you could host a dinner and anyone you invite was sure to come, who would you invite? I would invite those people I want to forgive. Those who have done something wrong or hurtful to me. Second I would invite those people who I want to forgive me for any wrong I have done.…
