Our realtor asked me to box up my books last year. I did. But I couldn't take being without them any longer, so my daughter helped me open over twenty boxes in storage and reclaim my favourites. I feel happier ❤️

Wow. The sixth book of the Robert Langdon series was a thrilling ride and reads like a uni lecture about the nature of consciousness and Noetic science. Fabulous setting in Prague. Incredible characters. Made me want to dive into Noetics 👏❤️

📽️ When abandonment and cultural isolation threaten to destroy a new mother's spirit, a passing acquaintance proves that home isn't a place—it's the people who choose to care. #immigrant #USA #India #SemiFinalist We are grateful for the recognition of our short #film.

Just an FYI for #bannedbooksweek. This fight isn't about books. It's about freedom.

"Censorship is the mother of metaphor” ~ Jorge Luis Borges.

Our pens, our words, our stories, our lives will continue to create a deeper understanding of our world.

I stand with @goldencrownls.bsky.social and @s-a-s-s.bsky.social against book bans.

A beautiful and poignant story that I immensely enjoyed. Potter’s deeply emotive writing draws you in and brings you along on Amelia, Charlie, Lindsey, and Teri's journeys of loss, grief, love, and hope before, during, and after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. ❤️
