    Today's Monday Motivational post now posted on TSL Today's Monday Motivational post now posted on TSLL.co is a reminder sharing four truths when it comes to why challenges are necessary for the growth we seek to be realized. 

Much like this Douglas Fir, standing securely, strong and tall, the storms it weathered well in its early years helped to secure its roots so that for decades to come it could bring the beauty and provide the awe we seek today.

    Friday's arrival welcomes a new edition of This & Friday's arrival welcomes a new edition of This & That to the blog and this week ➡️ Quite a few British finds this week, from a return of a favorite series after a two-year hiatus, another female-led series is back, and a new book about the beloved Queen Elizabeth II. Also, books: one tells the true story of the most curious art theft, another is a novel by a Nobel Prize-winning author, and then we have a book for bibliophiles that just looks ideal for winter reading. We cannot forget the Francophile finds – home and style beauties, and two locations for a British restful getaway have been found. Still, there is more!
