I’ve been home sick the past couple of days, using this cold to my advantage to just relax, and I realised I haven’t done my “monthly” book review since February. Thus, since I have such an abundance of free time, here’s what I’ve been reading as of late. (Also, before we dive in, if you want to read a more broad overview of all the books I’ve read recently, or if you’re into reading people’s soapboxes, then check out this post where I rant about the lack of romance in teen fiction. Ironic, ...

Stuck and Restless
I woke up this morning with a racing mind, trying to keep up, all the while forgetting what I’m supposed to do today, if anything. All I can focus on is everything which needs adjusting, improving, fixing. I need more sleep and need to stop staying up so late.

I need to stop being so late to ...
Embrace the Wind
Some of you might have noticed in my earlier post from today I mentioned how the two months have seemed bizarrely busy in a stressful, sometimes painful way.

Yes, my mind is full of musings this morning. It usually is, but I decided to write more of them than usual today. I’m sure none of you need me to remind you what today is: it’s Ash Wednesday! (A-ha, gotcha!) Actually, it’s both Ash Wednesday and Valentine’s Day, but I’m going to address the latter, not the former as I jokingly indicated. Of course, I don’t really want to. I’m not a fan of the day, nor do I want to be adding to the noise. However, no one knows my perspective, so I might ...
The Greatest is Love
Truth does not equate Belief. Sometimes you can choose to believe in something in spite of the Truth, not because you are denying the Truth, but rather because you know the Truth is not the only reality which could be. Meaning, there is a Truth beyond what already exists, a prolepsis if you will. Often, too often I think, people confuse Truth and Belief, assuming the two to be interchangeable, synonymous aspects like two sides to the same coin. Though Truth usually inspires Belief, Belief ...
