I first read Andrew’s words in Moon Book’s “Weathering the Storm” and found his chapter “Spiritual Journaling in Difficult Times” to be a gift. After reading "The Ritual of Writing" and "The Magic of Cats" that opinion hasn't changed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPac... #booksky #cats #writing #pagan

Everyone should feel warm and safe when going to bed. Birchway Niagara helps that happen by assisting those experiencing domestic violence. Their yearly Book Riot is one of the ways they raise money to assist with this. Our LFL is benefiting from it as well. #littlefreelibrary #booksky

I'm having raspberry jam with tea biscuits, while sipping on my afternoon coffee and looking up global jam consumption statistics. Raspberry jam appears to be a favourite in Sweden. The strawberry smile was an added touch, which has led to me questioning my artitic abilities. 😅 #Fika #Jam
