Book cover - How We Learn to Be Brave: Decisive Moments in Life and Faith by Mariann Edgar Budde Episcopal Bishop of Washington
After hearing Bishop @mariannbudde.bsky.social speak at the inaugural prayer service in January, I put this book in hold at my public library. It took a few months as it was quite popular. A timely read that has been especially helpful to me! Highly recommend!

FASCISM A WARNING MADELEINE ALBRIGHT Audiobook cover
Go read or listen to this book. Written in 2018 it’s even more scary to listen to now but so informative. Albright goes in-depth into each fascist leader of the 20-21st century. I love that she narrates the audiobook. Wish we could have some of her experience and wisdom right now.

Book cover ON TYRANNY TWENTY LESSONS FROM THE TWENTIETH CENTURY TIMOTHY SNYDER
Rule 9 Be kind to our language. Avoid pronouncing the phrases everyone else does. Think up your own way of speaking, even if only to convey that thing you think everyone is saying. Make an effort to separate yourself from the internet. Read books. Page 59
Book cover ON TYRANNY TWENTY LESSONS FROM THE TWENTIETH CENTURY Timothy Snyder illustrated by Nora Krug
Love rule number 9 from On Tyranny - read books. This little book by Timothy Snyder is a great one to start with. It’s also available as graphic novel. ✊🏾📖

Books are so powerful in so many ways. Seeing yourself in a book can be such an empowering moment. #booksaremagic

This book, Freckleface Strawberry by @juliannemoore is on the DoD banned books list. So I put it on hold at my public library. It is an amazing book. I have no idea how it ended up on a banned list, but alas, this is how censorship goes.

A table setting with juice, pancakes and a napkin that says “it’s Mardi Gras Y’all”
A strip of cloth with a drawing of a sunrise, cloud and sky with the words “Let there be sun, and moon, and inner peace, love for each other everywhere and waterfall vibes.” ☀️🌒☮️
Focusing on the good things today . . . Like pancakes for Mardi Gras and my daughter’s Lenten prayers.

A paper towel with 8 cookies on it - one of each Girl Scout cookie variety. The Lemon cookie has a quote on it that says “I am Gutsy”
Tonight at our Girl Scout meeting we tried all the cookies. Thin mints is still my favorite. And I don’t like Samoas or Dosidos. Also I liked my Lemon-ups message. Because I AM gutsy!!

Woman in front of a brick wall holding a box of Girl Scout Tagalongs. She is wearing a red patterned dress, brown tights, and brown shoes.
Tagalongs are a favorite Girl Scout cookie for many! Are they your favorite?

A smiling woman standing in front of a brick wall wearing a white shirt, blue cardigan, blue bead necklace, and khaki pants. She is holding a box of Trefoil Girl Scout cookies which are in a blue box.
I’ve been dressing like Girl Scout cookies because it’s Girl Scout cookie season and that’s a totally normal thing to do. 😆🤷🏼♀️ Today it’s the trefoil - the iconic shortbread cookie that has been around longer than any of the other cookies!
