🏺CIRCE by Madeline Miller is already my favorite read of 2022 so far! What most people know about Circe is based on her role in The Odyssey, so I love that Miller reimagines her own story, weaving in the stories of various notable figures in Greek myth including Odysseus, Daedalus, Helios and more. You don’t need to be an expert in Greek myth to appreciate this one. Despite being the most vulnerable of immortal beings, Circe is painted as a powerful and clever witch who finds herself in her forced exile. 5/5 🌟

💕Rose Quartz always makes me feel better. I love looking at it, holding it, and wearing it. Is there a crystal that makes you feel better instantly? I stand by my statement: if I could only have one type of crystal in my entire collection, it would be rose Quartz. Isn’t lavender moon Quartz technically a type of RQ? 🧐

🤍We’re supposedly getting another snow storm tonight and I’m ok with it! Despite having seasonal depression around the fall/winter, snow makes me really happy in a way that’s similar to getting lots of sun on a beach day.

🛳SHIPPED by Angie Hockman is essentially THE HATING GAME set on a cruise to the Galapagos. It’s about two coworkers competing for the same job, wrong first impressions, and girl power in the workplace. The ending was almost too fairy-tale-esque for me, but it was such a funny and sweet read. 3.5/5 ⭐️.

💙Remember when I used to post about books?! 🤣 I’ll try to do it a little more often.

🔮It should come as no surprise that this Capricorn moon has a lot of desires and would love to look into a crystal ball to see if and when she gets them. But this constant worry of “will I make it?” brings a lot of stress in the form of self-doubt, planning way too far in advance, and pushing myself unfairly. I hope in 2022 I take careful, measured steps to meet achievable goals without rushing myself or worrying so much over where I should be 10 years from now. I will trust more deeply in God that I’m where I need to be. Much love and gratitude to all the friends who continue to build me up even as I tear myself down. I pray the next year is filled with abundance and love for all of us 💕(also hopefully less Covid).
