Appreciate your honesty and transparency. You're spot on about humility. Whatever gifts and abilities we've been given are a gift of God and to be given back to him in return as we do our best to live out our lives by his grace. Thank you for the reminder about this all-important priority in life.
Very interesting, useful and motivating video, thank you very much!
It'll be an understatement to say this, but I'll say it, nonetheless: you've come a long, long way🙏✌
Happy to hear there has been a turn-around to change your fortunes for the better 🙂
This was a lovely video! Like seeing myself 15 years ago… 😉 RE being intellectual & being the “smartest”, I found comfort in realising that my pursuit in knowledge should be by my own standards, not comparing myself to others, but to who I was previously. It makes it easier to be in conversations where I might not know things, to be comfortable saying things like “I don’t know”, and using it as an opportunity to learn! Ps you ever heard of the Great Books of the Western World Series from Encyclopaedia Britannica? I’m guessing you’ve probably read a lot of them!
Well said! Yes I've read many of them and I love the concept of the series!
@cleopatrickk yes, I love the concept! I'm making my way through the series interspersed with mainly fantasy to have variety, but it's been very rewarding!
A few years ago I decided I was going to read all those books that are clean. My list was reduced considerably, but there are still many books on my list of books to read😆. I have found the less known novels of Louisa M. Alcott are so wonderful, she also has so many short stories that are delightful and lovely💜. I hope to read more Montgomery's less known stories in the future, she wrote poetry and many short stories I feel curious about...
Oh and as you said you want to read more lovely books I will like to share with you of Frances Hodgson Burnett too, oh my, wonderful, sweet too💜. Love your chanel
What a beautiful idea! I just got the Emily series by L.M. Montgomery and I'm looking forward to reading it in the new year. I would love to read some of Alcott's other works too, like Little Men and Jo's Boys and her shorter works. I love the Secret Garden but would be interested in learning more about Burnett's other works.
I love how this video includes the Goodness of God!
2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.
As they say- GOD is always listening 🙏 you got this 👍🏼
What a GIFT finding your channel today! 🙏🏻 Art & literature, reading & writing are my passions as well. 📚 I’m older than you are, and not that age really matters, but I appreciate engaging with anyone who also is deep into books and growing the mind. Congratulations on the rise of your channel. I took the plunge to try RUclips this autumn… still learning a lot. 😂 And congrats on your publishing-very exciting! Hereto more books and beauty! 📖❄️🩵 -Tracy
Lovely to meet you, I'm so glad you're here, Tracy! 🤍❄️📚
