I left religion 14 years ago, so this isn't my usual genre. It was a fascinating read. SMK is a truly gifted writer, and I enjoyed reading her work. She has a gift of breathing humanity into a story that I could recite from the KJV.

This one has been on my reading list for years. I finally sat down this week and read Man's Search for Meaning. I
was not disappointed!

I finished Hidden Valley Road after watching the documentary, Six Schizophrenic Brothers. It is hard to say I enjoyed it, but I learned much about mental illness, societal norms, the role of DNA, and how each family member deals with trauma. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

NPR has heard from more than 50 veterans around the country who are upset about the VA cutting a program that was helping vets avoid foreclosure. Veterans now have worse options than most Americans.

I've read many books on the Holocaust. The little liar is a must-read, in my opinion! Mitch Albom narrates the story through the third person, Truth. I wish this was required reading for every high schooler.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks…
“The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social
Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government.

I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.
