In a world where so many humans struggle to figure out what to do with our lives, where we add value, and where we fit in, honey bees seem to have it all figured out, with an innate inner knowing and natural progression throughout their career. The amount of sacrifices and hard work this hive mind performs, is admirable, as they work together and trust each other in ways that’s hard for us to conceive. Everything from the construction of the hive, to raising their future queens, they have life down to a science.
It’s truly amazing to think how 9,000 years of kinship has influenced Agriculture, architecture, religion, medicine and more - across all but 1 continents.

☕️ Grab your blanket and curl up with some coco for this adorable little YA. Molly Bell (15) has the best friend a girl could ever ask for, and is willing to put her dislike for Christmas aside to make it one for her bestie to remember - all in the spirit of Grampy G. But despite Molly’s talents to pull this off, she is flawed to a fault. Clumsy and embarrassed of her true s-elf, she has banished her identity to behind the scenes at all costs. And to make matters worse, she is a major procrastinator, and finds herself painted in a web of lies that is bound to catch up to her.

It almost feels as if this should have been a blog series, this isn’t something I would get much use out of keeping on my bookshelf. It offered some tips on how to color coordinate or pair like books with like topics (like putting cookbooks in the kitchen) and how to use some as decor. Nothing novel, as you could find all of this and more on Pinterest, but it was visually stimulating so I’m sure there is a suitable audience out there for this.

I was only vaguely familiar with “stinging nettle” prior to reading this, but always interested in learning more about the healing power of plants (often times considered weeds!).

I found myself swallowed up, the pit of my stomach full of simultaneous intrigue, anticipation and dread. I was hanging on to every word until the end.
There is an intense looming darkness throughout, total Eyes Wide Shut vibes. A captivating story told by Kohl, a famous screen writer, while on the run from the law. He recounts his life-shattering obsession for unraveling the secrets of a mysterious symbol that has been haunting him for decades.
Memories of his past are blocked, while 3 hooded figures haunt his mind. Or are they truly following him? Do as they wish, and you will be rewarded.

“You shall decide what comes next… Make it count.”

If you haven’t yet read that book, no worries because he does a nice job of summarizing the premise before diving into the recipes. He even addresses some frequent important questions around salt, sweeteners and using teflon and aluminum products in cooking.

It covers all of the basics for what the law of attraction is, and how to create the mental and physical space to attract your desired reality.
Topics: -Connecting with your higher intuition -Reshaping your thought patterns -Healing your inner child to let go of things holding you back -Grounding and breathing exercises -Decluttering your mind, body and physical space -Reigniting your passions and creativity -Journaling -Anchoring your memories and lucid dreaming
There are some tips, exercises and positive mantras sprinkled throughout, and it’s broken up nicely into digestible chapters and sections with peaceful imagery.
I found the lucid dreaming part at the end to be the most interesting. It goes hand in hand with another book I read recently, and am intrigued at the possibilities.

It gives me similar vibes of the 5 Love Languages, and how you need to meet their language style to truly help them feel seen, heard and felt.
The downside is that I can’t say I know any of my friend’s enneagram types…or mine, for that matter. I feel like I teeter around 4 different ones. I would hope that buying buying a book like this, I could get guidance on where to take this test without having to sell my information away in exchange.
In concept, this is an insightful psychological approach to stepping outside of our own mindset to try and understand others, and I always appreciate and respect that. I’ll have to see if I can convince all my friends to take an enneagram test and out some of this to the test before I can give this more stars though.
