I recently listened to this book on Libby The Idea of You and it’s one of those books that you may not normally read, but you do and it stays with you for a very long time. Has anybody read it or listened to it? And what did you think?

I am looking for a referral, please! 💜 I am looking for someone who understands life in Appalachia. They don’t have to be a historian or expert. They can be somebody who lives there, from there and understands the lifestyle. Please let me know if you know anyone. This is for a book discussion.

What if the best life advice didn't come from an expert but from someone who's lived 101 years? My 101-year-old mom shares one simple message that has carried her through a century of life. ❤️ Her words might be exactly what you need to hear today.

It’s interesting to look at the comparison between Trump’s children and the other living presidents. What are your thoughts?

Just saw these great author events and was wondering if anybody in the Raleigh - Durham NC area would like to join me? Let me know and we can talk. They do cost money and it does include a book. If you have ever gone to these kind of events you know how wonderful they are.

Do you notice when you switch from listening… to fixing? In conversations, especially in professional settings, we often feel the need to provide solutions quickly. But that shift can happen before the other person feels fully heard.

I think democrats should focus on their accomplishments when speaking and not chasing the disinformation and being on the offensive line. Just share wins. Thoughts?

After a few weeks of being in recovery from a bad fall, even my one hundred year-old mother was ready to protest against Trump. My aunt in New Jersey, her twin did the same thing today. And my husband is in his glory, holding onto my mother and sharing his words.

Three communities. One shared mission. A love for stories. A commitment to listening. A belief in collective power. Different paths. Same purpose. To grow, connect, and amplify voices that deserve to be heard. If you’re ready for meaningful conversation, there’s a place for you here.

Libraries have always been more than shelves of books. They’re spaces of connection, learning, and care. 💬 What role does your library play in your life or community?

Are Libraries just about books? What is their evolving role as community centers and social safety nets

Has anyone read this book and if you have what are you thinking about it? What was the part of the book that just doesn’t leave you? If you haven’t read it do you want to? It’s full of suspense, humor, and compassion! #booksky #fiction

This is how Democratic Americans protest and march. Check out the picture of the wagon collecting garbage and recycling! Gotta love it! And gotta love Raleigh, North Carolina!

Sometimes a book doesn’t just tell a story — it helps us see our own. We’ve all read something that reflected back a truth, a memory, or a part of ourselves we didn’t know was waiting to be seen. #books #lifechanging #booksky

Some don’t know they can ask! When people have a voice and feel respected anger dissipates. Not everything is fixed and healed but at least we’re going in the right direction and can open up to what’s right. When we come with our voice we find hope, with hopelessness, we ain’t got nothing to loose!

Don’t tell my family, but sometimes I’ve been at a dinner party, a birthday party, or a celebration and I have left the party for a few minutes to go into the bathroom just to finish a book! What have you done?
