A8 I always find it amazing how the word finds me. Last year my word was MOVE - getting more natural movement in my day, move towards being kinder and grateful. This year the word that keeps popping up is RESTORE. I need to bring back more routines and joy into my life. #TLSkyChat

Q7: Let’s give some shoutouts to those people who helped us survive 2024 AND who we’re looking forward to making mischief and magic with in 2025! Note: they do not need to be on Bluesky, but if they are, be sure to share their handles!

If you click on a book you have read and change it to currently reading it will add the book after you finish reading it. I am currently relistening to a series and I can click on view/edit read history and it will share how many times I have "read" the book. #TLSkyChat
