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?

I think a lot of people are joining book clubs. People want to feel like they belong to a community and books are the best. I’ve gone to several other events recently and I’ve loved it and people are wonderful.

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.

ometimes, listening is what creates clarity. 💬 How do you stay aware of this in your conversations? 💬 When has listening been more impactful than giving advice?

It shows up in small ways: “Have you tried…” “You should just…” “Why don’t you…” While the intention is to help, effective communication often starts with presence, not solutions.

Marilyn Shannon @marilynlistens.bsky.social · 22/04/2026
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.
