Libby: Judaskus, Rudie van Rensburg




I really like the Kassie Kasselman series by Rudie van Rensburg. What I don't like are all the names /characters, and trying to keep track of who is who it just becomes gobbledygook after a while.


Also, there should be a trigger warning. The death of a dog is involved. 

3.8/5

Libby Audiobook: The Light we Carry, Michelle Obama

 


Wonderfully inspiring. Go higher.

Michelle learnt how to knit during lockdown, helped her to relax.

Can hear the passion and pain of the new dispensation that has no respect or regard for tradition, others.

Libby Audiobook: Rising Strong as a Spiritual Practice, Dr Brené Brown

 


Choose discomfort over resentment 

Saying no is a moment of discomfort, gives you back 6 months worth of resentment.

Boundaries help you to live with integrity 

Extend true compassion when you are clear on your boundaries 

Fear, grief, perfectionis gets in the way

For forgiveness to happen, something needs to die. Grief is the biggest barrier to forgiveness.

Kindle: A Man With One of Those Faces, Caimh McDonnell

 


I enjoy his writing, marvellously, dry, dark British humour.

The only problem is that this was my nighttime read, so I would more often than not, fall asleep. Which meant that I had difficulty keeping track of all the characters, but that was a 'me' problem.

Libby Audiobook: One Medicine, Dr Matt Morgan


 

Written and read by Welsh doctor, Matt Morgan.

Very interesting all the lessons animals teach us in treating human illness. 

He encourages Dr to work with vets. Nurses with veterany nurses.
