Hayyyyy!! Happy Newsletter Friday! Welcome to those of you who are reading this for the first time and welcome back to those returning! THE POLL RESULTS: Another week with another week full of write-ins. I was sad to see double stuf perform well because wow... I hate double stuf. Here is an honorable mention made me laugh: "There's more than one???? What the cookie is going on?". |
|
|
PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY TIME! I mean it is just some type of peanut butter variation. Peanut butter on a regular oreo or just a peanut butter oreo. Since it was a tie between a write-in and double stuf, Peanut Butter won! Want to participate in the next poll? Scroll down to partake! |

Alex's Book Corner I am currently reading: - The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin
What I have read these past few weeks: - Educated by Tara Westover
- Tara's story was an amazing story. It was a story of resilience, perseverance, defying expectations, finding autonomy, family, and education. This book is hard to put down and I would recommend it in a heartbeat. (5 stars)
- The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead
- This is a very interesting read. I took a lot of time to get through it and I think it is the kind of book that has to be read quicker. If I read it over a shorter period of time I think I would have liked it more. (4 stars)

Take a Breath, Take a Break"Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you." - Anna Lamott Taking a break is a simple concept yet, it is something I find very challenging to do. |

Be IntentionalLet me set the scene: I plan on working on a project today but get swept up with social media on my phone. I decide to call a friend after scrolling for arguably way too long but, then my mind is elsewhere thinking about other tasks I was supposed to do. |
