This sounds like an interesting read Will add to list. @Rachael Bermingham is there somewhere we can find all the book recommendations when we want to browse?
📚✨ If I wrote a book tomorrow… which one would you read first?
1️⃣ A Soft Reset Guide For women tired of fixing themselves and ready for gentler ways to feel good. (Doable 10min self care) 2️⃣ Midlife Stories from the Lounge Chair Real-life tales, laughter, wisdom, and the occasional emotional plot twist. (Funny humorous shorts from my midlife Chronicles' blogs) 3️⃣ Bringing Back Connection How to feel less alone in a distracted, always-on world. (Aka pen paling and letter writing) Honestly asking because sometimes the next chapter starts as a tiny poll on the internet. 👀 Vote below ⬇️📚

@Rachael Bermingham well I already have the beginnings of 2️⃣. I'm thinking like a small companion of stories that fit in your handbag 👜

@Rob Cole Hi Rob. Thank you so much. I've been selling this message for so long and it's quite a hard sell. So maybe it needs to be in book form. I appreciate you adding your perspective It's definitely given me food for thought

@Deborah Hawkins Ooo this sounds so fun
I was the winner 🎊 📔 Love Has No Limits 📖✨
I was the lucky winner of last months book giveaway. And honestly I've never won anything random in my life, so when I woke up and finally checked my messages to see @Rachael Bermingham tagging me all of the place, and other comments mentioning me, I was like "What? What have I missed..... So I don't see the drawer live, but watched the recording and was so beside myself. I had actually seen Claudia's book highlighted a few weeks prior and so knew it was one I wanted to read. I’m just about to dive into Chapter 6. I wanted to share a few thoughts so far—especially for those of you sitting on the fence about picking this one up! The "Age-Friendly" Perk: I turn 54 tomorrow (yay!), and honestly, the first thing I fell in love with was the large print. It sounds like a small thing, but at this stage of life, having a book that’s easy on the eyes makes the reading experience so much more relaxing. I’m the kind of reader who needs to be captured early, or I’ll wander off. The prologue did exactly that—it set such a vivid scene that by the time I hit Chapter 1, I was already fully invested. I have a goal this year to try and be more consistent with reading, so this one is next on my list. It was so easy to read I ended up at Chapter 6 the first night I decided to start it in bed. Albeit I had not finished a book I started last June. LOL. I know, I have about 10 pages to go. I am already so drawn to Abby. You just know that she wants to do the right thing by her family, but she also has a rebellious streak in her. I can only guess there is room for the other characters to slowly come to life. Will the families stay close ? Who will discover her secret first ? So many questions and plot twists. 📢 I believe the next giveaway is happening tomorrow (April 30th)! (Maybe a surprise gift for my birthday 🥳) Honestly, the thrill of winning such a beautiful gift, and having it come directly from the author was something so special. Waiting for it's arrival in the mail and not electronically makes it extra special.

@Rachael Bermingham Yes, it was very relaxing. We took lil Miss Frenchie with us, so we couldn't really go out too much. Breakfast & Lunch cafes. The rain played some havoc, but still good to getaway. We did end up on the coast. I should have messaged you, but the days got away from us.

@Lynda Coker Hi Lynda, thankyou, I'm glad I'm not alone in the larger print 😆. I run a pen pal exchange for the women in my community, but mainly oversee everything (I participated this first month), but because of some people disappearing ended up writing 3 letters in a week. It was too stressful. But then when I received my book I was greeted by the same feeling my pen pal letters have been writing about. There is something very special still about snail mail for sure
