The Burnt Out Bitch  by Gwen Taylor
Interesting to understand that you do have to take care of yourself first before you help others. You get burnt out. There are many forms of just overdoing things but the author gives you advice on what you need to do to get back on track. You must learn that you have a voice and you hae to use it, usually with the word 'no'. but your plate is overfilled already.
Practical advice when another committee wants you to volunteer your time but there's no more hours in the day to do so.  Don't feel guilty your family should come first along with time for yourself each day.
Really good advice to take care of yourself.

This section is about not getting it perfect every time. You can take a step or breath for yourself. Love the real talk sections of real life situations. Being a parent is a real good one also. So much there that we were expected to do, following what our mothers did while they raised us.
Lvoe the grounding and regulating things. Love routines that are NOT overwhelming.
Great advice throughout.

The Snow Image: Exploring the Depths of Dark Romanticism by Nathaniel Hawthorne (
Had mention of this story in a recent book I read: A winter Promise' and got a cop to hear it for myself. Cute snow story for these wicked cold winter days. A great tale to read to the great grandchildren. 

Book Review: A winter Promise by Josie Riviera

  

 
A Winter Promise by Josie Riviera
In this story we find Clara and her spouse Nathan who live  in town and she teaches at a school. Nathan is a carpenter who is very skilled with his hands. He can make things out of the wood, the wood speaks to him. It's like me with yarn the yarn speaks to me about what i wants me to make with it. I totally get this book. So love the terms as our son is a carpenter also and he is still learning but making a living at it to boot.
They have tried to have a baby but it's not in the cards. He loses his job at the family business and the store has to close. His brother Thomas is a woodworker also but he has children with his wife.
Nathan is giving up hope and his religion and Clara fears for the worse. Love how he meets th young boy and he taken him on rides to the sawmill and teaching him how to sand the wood. The child is excited. Love hearing of the charity the local townspeople give to others who are in need of it as the winter is long.  Love the snow angel and the power it has over Nathan.
Others have noticed Clara clutching at her stomach from time to time and question her about it...
Love the ending and mostly hearing how he gets his religion back and the motivation to make items he can sell that advance his career and his skills.
Great story. Love mention of the snow image by Nathaniel Hawthorne in this book along with a copy of it here.  Love hearing of the case in court in Boston as we had recently walked the city streets in November.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.

 The Sheriff's Rescue Book 3 of The Southern Hart Brothers 
by Stella Holt
Love this story and can't for the next in the set. This one starts out with Shelby and she's on her way home to her grandfather's. She has a little it of time on her hands with her writing career. She knows the family is not taking care of him. She doesn't quite make it there, the snowstorm is fierce. She gets rescued from the sheriff, Wes who's patrolling the roads. He tucks her into his vehicle and takes her back to the station. There are no rooms at the hotel, nor in the cell so he suggests his house and she's all for it. They have a mutual consent with one another and things heat up, quicker and very often. Love learning of her writing abilities and so many love her books.
Her family lives in town, her father is the mayor and he demands things of Wes and then he finds out Shelby is back, not sure for how long.
Lots of twists and turns and politics might have a say to as what Wes will do.
So many decisions and so many choices.
Love the town and Wes' family. Can't wait to hear from them all again, soon.
Received this review copy from Tule Publishing via BookSprout and this is my honest opinion.
