Luminous by Dawn Metcalf, Dutton Books

Luminous by Dawn Metcalf, Dutton Books

The inside flap of Luminous by Dawn Metcalf, Dutton Books: As reality slips and time stands still, Consuela finds herself thrust into the world of the Flow. In this strange, shifting world, Consuelo quickly discovers she has the power to slip out of her earthly skin and cloak herself in new ones made of the world around herβ€”crafted from water, air, butterflies, feathers, and fire. She joins other teens with extraordinary abilities, bound together to safeguard strangers in a world they can affect, but no where they longer belong. When murder threatens to undo the Flow, the Watcher charges Consuela and the elusive, attractive V to stop the killer. But the psychopath who threatens her new world may also hold the only key to Consuela’s way home.

Reminder that self-worth is not measured by your productivity.

It's perfectly fine to not be okay.

It's perfectly fine if you are not doing the same amount of things you were doing before. Just being alive is a win.

We're all struggling but I promise you, friend, you're doing fine. πŸ’š

Volunteer wearing a reflective vest that reads: VOLUNTEER DON’T SHOOT backwards for car mirrors

My friend in Minnesota told me about her experience as a volunteer & what they had to wear. I said I couldn’t believe it. She sent me this picture.

This is our own government against our own citizens. This is America under this regime.

I remember thinking how β€œcompassionate conservatives” must have been doing mental backflips to stick with George W. The Christian right must be doing mental gymnastics to keep backing this guy.
