 Year of Yes – 289
My favorite moments about life are always in the little moments. Snuggling up on the couch. Laughing in the car. Watching my kids play. Joking around in the kitchen. Those are all moments of magic. Yes to magic. #yearofyes #karenikayearofyes  Year of Yes – 288
Happy Friday. I am still working on doing a better job with rest and a better job with remembering what’s mine to carry and what’s not. Always a work in progress. Yes to being patient with myself. #yearofyes #karenikayearofyes  Year of Yes – 287
It’s almost Halloween which means I can put my Christmas tree up soon. I’m not a fan of Fall but Christmas season is my favorite. It’s performance evaluation season at work so I have been thinking a bunch about how to give and receive feedback. And how other people’s feedback might be valid and still it doesn’t mean I have to do anything about it. I can receive it, say thanl you and then decide if I’d like to incorporate it. I get to decide which feedback matters to me and what I want to do about it. Like other things in life,.I can choose if this happens to me or if I decide to be an active participant in the conversation. Having choice and knowing it’s up to me completely changes how I show up. Yes to owning my own life and choices. #yearofyes #karenikayearofyes  Year of Yes – 286
Tonight I rest. I haven’t been sleeping properly. I keep waking up in the middle of the night and then have a hard time going back to deep sleep. So tonight I will rest. Yes to rest. #yearofyes #karenikayearofyes  Year of Yes – 285
I am working hard not to hold on to what’s not mine to carry. Being intentional with how to help without fixing and how to be present and sit with things without rushing to solve. All of which is so hard for me and yet so liberating when I can do it. Yes to growing and learning. #yearofyes #karenikayearofyes  Year of Yes – 284 I connected with an old friend today and it reminded me how magical and easy it can be to spend time with someone who knows you and sees you. New friends can be fun and exciting and yet old friends are like comfy clothes that always fit you just right. It’s always good to have a mix of both. Yes to reconnecting. #yearofyes #karenikayearofyes
3.5 stars. Enjoyed this story quite a bit. It’s romance but it’s also about academia and it’s also about friendship. Quick read.
This book was super over the top and that it has a bunch of crazy twists and narrators that are somewhat unreliable. All of which is usually a combination I am not fond of anymore but this book was clever and the twists all made me smile. Quite enjoyable to be honest.
I have so many things to say about this book. I think there were a lot of very interesting and valuable learnings in this book but I wish so many of the stories didn’t center around alcoholics and some of it was around the milder versions of codependency. It still left me with a lot to think about.
While I found this story quite long, I did enjoy the time I spent with it. The tennis family in the story and all the research Moriarty clearly must have done was interesting. Several of the characters were also interesting but, of course, the marriage and the relationship between the two main characters was the best part. Some of it felt a bit unbelievable to me, but overall I still enjoyed it.
I loved this story of two siblings who are writing back and forth to each other while one of them has run away from home. There are many trigger warnings for this story, especially around domestic abuse but in the end, it’s a story about resilience and sibling support and making your own family in the world.
meh. this was interesting for a while and i kept waiting to see what was going on. The twist was interesting, but it was all so over the top. I am done with these super over the top stories. |
