Maybe your response has been to try to push harder, to try to control what is not yours to control, to thrash, or any other number of emotionally exhaustive ways to breakthrough.

Visit TSLL.co where you will find in multiple regular postings books being shared: the weekly This & That (each Friday); the monthly A Cuppa Moments w/Shannon where I share verbally the books I recommend, what I am reading and what I am curious about; and the monthly Outfits of the Month post where each outfit is paired with a soon-to-be-released book or new to me book.

One can never read enough books. ❤️📚📖📚📖📖📚❤️
