Dear Self, Change, while inevitable, is painful. Growing pains must be endured. If you feel stuck in the mud, just hang on and wait it out; the wheel will continue to turn and you will soon be back on top soaking up the sun.

Is it possible that I only loved this book because it was written and read by my personal hero, Rick Steves? Sure. But he has gotten where he is by making world travel and cultures immediate and accessible. I felt immersed! Now who is going to Jaipur with me?! #booksky πŸ’™πŸ“š #RickSteves #HippieTrail

FRIDAY - MARCH 14, 2025 Pi-day (3.14) Pi has a few more digits than that. But 3.14 can get you far. Wanna get your geek on? Celebrate at 1 am and 59min 26sec. That gets you 3.14 1:59:26, Pi's first seven decimal places.

I read this one on recommendation from a friend and I see why she loved it! Such amazing REAL character building, such deeply layered storytelling. I listened on Libby and the narrator totally brought the story to life. #Libby #booksky πŸ’™πŸ“š

Monet's Waterlilies (1914-15) has been restored to remove the varnish that was added in 1959. I went to visit it yesterday and I am not ashamed to admit that I got teary-eyed. #art #monet #waterlilies
