✨Hello, World✨
Final story time with Bean in bump before we meet for real.
Picked up The Secret History from my local library today. This is one of those books that I’ve been *aware* of for years but have just never got around to reading. I’m excited to see what Donna Tartt has to offer! 🤩
Over the last few years, through the challenges of chronic pain and the unknowns of infertility, I have turned to @morganharpernichols work again and again for comfort, for hope, for inspiration. Both her words and her art have been a source of quiet joy and reassurance through all the ups and downs. Now, as we embark on our long-awaiting adventure into parenthood, her work continues to be exactly what my soul needs. I am so, so glad that I found my way to the work of this once creator all those years ago. Thank you, Morgan. ❤️🧡💛💚💙
Good morning @gladstoneslibrary - thank you for another warm welcome. 🥰
Had one of those pregnancy insomnia nights with a 3:30 wake up and a brain that would simply NOT allow me to go back to sleep. After a few hours of fruitless dream chasing, I decided to get up, grab an early decaf coffee and delve into a bit of learning. No, I’m not mad, I was just in one of those frames of mind where my brain needed something to focus on - and Radical Candor is just the ticket. This book was recommended to me by my phenomenal mentor @melaniebryanobedl during the Help To Grow Management course I recently completed. Even in just the few pages of forward and intro, there are so many words of wisdom and points of reflection that have jumped out at me. Highlighter in hand and notebook by my side, I’m hungry to see what else this book will offer me. I’ve barely broken into the first chapter but already I’ve got questions that I know I need to step back and consider for my own professional practice and at least one ‘aha’ moment that has shifted the way I view myself as a manager and a leader. I know my work is going to be changing (along with just about everything else!) in this next season of my life. It’s a little daunting but I’m excited for it and, as always, I feel a little better going into it armed with a great book. 🤩🤓📚💪 Thanks for the recommendation, Mel!
I had completely forgotten that my talented friend @mookydoodle had created these gorgeous bookmarks featuring snippets of my poetry on them until I rediscovered them whilst unpacking the last of our boxes of books! It’s always so humbling when other creators want to collaborate or draw on my work so this was a delightful reminder of just how far Thrive has gone in the world. It’s still small but it went so much further than I ever imagined. Thank you again George for creating these. ❤️
Our household has been struck down by a nasty fever-y virus that has well and truly knocked us off our feet. 😩🤧🤒 After being able to do nothing but sleep yesterday, today I’ve regained enough faculties to read so I’m snuggling up with The Atlas Six, which I’ve been looking forward to reading for ages. Hoping that ancient libraries and magic will be the cure! 🤞
It’s one of my favourite things to discover a book that you just can’t put down. This is one of those. I am absolutely DEVOURING Lessons In Chemistry and loving every second of it. Elizabeth Zott is an incomparable protagonist, Six Thirty has my heart and this story is one of the most compelling I’ve picked up in a while. If you’ve not read it, add it to the top of your TBR right now!
