Wordless Wednesday: the library

 

Books I finished--August 2024

I finished one book in August. I was hoping for at least two, but I was happy to have finished this one at least. I do have several going right now so I'm hoping to have more for next month!

No Nonsense Spirituality by Brittney L. Hartley

I discovered No Nonsense Spirituality as I have recently been discovering there are many ways to be spiritual. This book helped me tremendously because I don't want to go too far down any "woo" path that claims to be the best spiritual way or gets too weird. I just want to tap into other ways of being spiritual. I really like her practical ideas and ways of doing this.

Quotes:

p. 198 -- Something that every therapist and spiritual director can agree on is that rewriting your story with self-compassion for your past, being inspired by stories that resonate with you, returning to those stories again and again, and intentionally writing your own story is just good mental health. 

Thankful Thursday

 

Even though I've been dreading planning and starting school again, I feel like we're doing okay so far. We had a pretty cool first day back and we get new books soon! And, let me add, that while I was dreading the starting part, I do love everything else. Very excited for the things the kids get to learn and grow in this year!
