A Ripple of Kindness
Once upon a time in the quaint town of Willowbrook, nestled between rolling hills and a sparkling river, there lived a man named Samuel. Samuel was known throughout the town for his unwavering kindness and willingness to help others. He owned a small hardware store, and everyone who entered was greeted with a warm smile and a genuine offer of assistance. Samuel firmly believed in the principle that one good turn deserves another, and he lived his life by this motto.

WHY POETRY
Ever since I was a child, the idea of a vacation never made sense to me. I hardly travel anywhere outside of this Big Apple. There’s enough nutrition to gather from this fruit.

Covid-19. It's not even a sentence yet it elicits a range of complex emotions for most individuals. For me, that virus altered my life thoroughly. The harshness of it, the unpredictability and swiftness took more than health, it took mortality and a chunk of my spirit.

The Language of Spirit
When I think about books that have changed my life, there is one that stands out far more than any other - what I mean to say is that it changed my life in so many ways, and at such a deep, and profound level, that there's no question: THIS is the one.

Open by Andre Agassi
My Tedtalk xDallas script Hello Dallas, how y'all do in tonight? I've often wondered if, in life, I have made different decisions if I would be in another place, and then I think, what decision led me to this? I realized many judgments led to this, but there is one conclusion I can pinpoint that changed my life. I don't know if you've often thought about the idea of different universes and how maybe another version of you is out there wondering about you, and maybe that's why we get shivers down our spine. Maybe because the other one of us is thinking of us simultaneously.

Dune is Not About Oil
The prompt for the Book Club challenge is funny because it was David Lynch’s 1984 adaptation that introduced me to Dune. Dune was one of my favorite movies as a kid. It was one of my top picks at the library, besides all the Star Trek and Universal monster movies I could get my hands on. My love for the Dune universe grew in the 90s, with the books from Brian Herbert. Despite this, I would not read the first novel until 2017. Why, I am unsure. Since then I have dove as deep into the Dune universe as I can. I still have not finished the original series, due to a combination of work and school. Well, also after acquiring a copy of the encyclopedia, I decided I wanted to have the time to sit and read the series with that as my companion. Because if Dune does nothing else, it raises a lot of questions for the reader. Both in and out of the universe.

The Moral Labyrinth: A Journey Through “Crime and Punishment”
Reading "Crime and Punishment" by Fyodor Dostoevsky was a transformative experience for me, largely because it engages deeply with fundamental human questions—of morality, justice, and the internal conflicts that define us. Originally published in 1866, the novel plunges into the psyche of Raskolnikov, a young, impoverished student in St. Petersburg, who convinces himself that he is an extraordinary man, above conventional ethics and laws. This delusion drives him to murder an old pawnbroker, an act that becomes the catalyst for a grueling journey through guilt, torment, and eventual spiritual awakening.

Murder In The Family By Cara Hunter
So, I have a confession to make. I had not read a book in close to 10 years because I didn’t ever feel the need too. As soon as I left school, I put reading behind me and never looked back, until recently. I had some extra money, a suggestion for a book that was right down my alley from my boyfriend and went for it. I lost myself in this book, something I am not used to doing but very much enjoyed. This book had such a unique concept to it that I had no chance in resisting as soon as I opened the front cover and turned that first page, I was hooked.

Echoes of Concealed Journeys
In the quiet solitude of my favorite reading nook, I found myself entranced by the pages of "The Personal Librarian," a novel woven with threads of history and humanity. Nestled within the pages of this historical fiction, I unearthed a captivating tale that mirrored my own journey as an immigrant, where I discovered in its words a mirror that reflected not just the life of Belle da Costa Greene, but also my own journey through comfort, challenges, and the redefinition of beliefs. I found myself drawn to the narrative threads that wove through Belle da Costa Greene's life—a life that resonated with my own.
