To Struggle Well.

" The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance. " – Alan Watts To struggle well. At first glance, the phrase feels contradictory—how can struggle and wellness coexist?

MY PICK
OF THE MONTH

Currently reading:

Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery - A beloved classic about a spirited eleven-year-old orphan who finds belonging, beauty, and meaning in a quiet Canadian town. Re-reading it through the lens of optimism, I’m reminded of its quiet joy and simple sweetness. Anne’s wonder, resilience, and delight in the everyday offer a gentle nudge to notice the good in even the most ordinary places. So wholesome!

Recently Finished:

Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl - Re-reading this book was even more powerful than before. This time, I approached it intentionally through the lens of purpose and meaning. It felt like returning to an old, wise friend—still startling, still grounding. A short book with a lasting echo.

Next on my list:

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
