Sarah Butland – Imagination Captured

In all this turmoil, recognizing and highlighting moments of joy is more important than ever.

The Beauty of Humanity Movement by Camilla Gibb My rating: 4 of 5 stars Read in celebration of I Read Canadian Day. Something about the stories Gibb tells and the way she tells them intrigues me. Not my usual book of choice, the power and intensity behind the plot and the brilliance of each character […]
