Happy Birthday to me!!!  I had a great day.  I volunteered in collections this morning then went exploring around The Fortress.  I found another piece of the puzzle.  Look at what they have to work with, it’s very intriguing.  

Hmmmm….


Wore a few sparkly bits today…birthday suit…

Between by Angie Abdou

Books, Canada, Knitting

I picked this book up because it was flagged Canadian at the library.  

It’s a different take on the traditional story of domestic woes.  It kept me reading.  A husband and wife raising two boys search for meaning in their marriage and family.  They get a nanny from the Philipines and the story takes off from there.  Definitely worth a read.  

Trauma is Really Strange by Steve Haines

Books, Wellness, World

I discovered this thought-provoking book yesterday after speaking with a friend.  I took one brief look through it and had to stop by the bookstore and pick up a copy.  I wanted to share because we hear of PTSD and trauma producing crimes in the news on a daily basis.  As a nurse I definitely can see the value in the presentation of this book.  Perhaps reaching a younger population.  Education about trauma needs to get out there.  So spread the word. 

   
Self-care is not selfish.  So take care.  

It arrived!

It’s that time of year again.  The spring issue of Taproot is here.  There are so many awesome things in this issue.  It’s so relevant to what is going on in my world.  Like they read my mind.  Seriously!  There’s a recipe for rose petal rice pudding and a knitting pattern for a beautiful hat and fingerless mitts.
