March windfall


Had an awesome experience at Half Price Books today finding both a signed, first edition and a note card between giver and receiver inside one book as well.  This stack is completely from the clearance section (between $2 - $3 per book) and contains titles that have been on my 'want to read' list for quite a while.

I also found a women's daily devotional from 2013.  It really fell into my hands because of it's gorgeous leather cover and warm red color.  I'm a softie for a daily read.  Something to look forward to, build routine around and the daily experience of finding a quote or a passage intended for that day truly resonates with me.

Atop this stack is a recent clearance mug find as well.  Its for tea with its rounded base and smooth finish.  When I drink tea I tend to cradle the mug so it works as a hand warmer as well as a beverage receptacle. This is a good one!

March came in like a lion with the cold winds and overcast skies.  Here's to a productive and relaxing March!

Books That Help Me Through

Each came into my life at a different time and helped me through what I was going through at the time. Now is one of those times in our country, with our family and friends that we need to finish the year strong. Here's my stack: 10% Happier - Dan Harris Leaving the Enchanted Forest - Liana Beckett Learning to Breathe - Priscilla Warner Rising Strong - Brene Brown Real Happiness - Sharon Salzberg A Year by the Sea - Joan Anderson A Woman's Journey to God - Joan Borysenko Tell Me More - Kelly Corrigan I'm also in gratitude for my awesome new t-shirt from Jocelyn who makes the most amazing products. She designed my graphic and also a really great raising mental health awareness water bottle! She's fantastic. Please visit her Etsy shop Marked by Jo. There's a link on home ...

Becoming

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 What a wonderful experience to spend 18 hours of Michelle Obama sharing stories, advice, struggles and accomplishments hearing it in her voice. "An intimate, powerful, and inspiring memoir by the former first lady of the United States In a life filled with meaning and accomplishment, Michelle Obama has emerged as one of the most iconic and compelling women of our era.
