Another Year Over

You know that John Lennon song, “Happy Xmas (War Is Over)”? The beginning of it has been spinning on repeat in my head the last week or so:

So this is Christmas
And what have you done?
Another year over
And a new one just begun.

That’s kind of how I felt, leaving behind the season of Advent and Christmas day, a little bit melancholy, a little bit joyful, a little bit sad, a little bit hopeful.

Yellowface by R.F. Kuang
"Unpopular opinion: I hated this book. I wanted to stop listening multiple times. Kuang did an impressive job creating a character I absolutely did not want to spend anymore time with, so I’m pretty sure she accomplished what she set out to do on that" Read more of this review »

Yellowface by R.F. Kuang
"Gosh. Where do I begin? I'm not even sure I want to begin. Reading this book makes me want to stop writing book reviews forever.

A thoroughly unlikable narrator on purpose—and a thought provoking look into the modern world of publishing—made this a captivating audiobook. Well worth the read/listen.

Donald Miller
“We live in a world where bad stories are told, stories that teach us life doesn't mean anything and that humanity has no great purpose. It's a good calling, then, to speak a better story. How brightly a better story shines. How easily the world looks to it in wonder. How grateful we are to hear these stories, and how happy it makes us to repeat them.”
Donald Miller, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years: What I Learned While Editing My Life

“One day can change your life. One day can ruin your life. All life is is three or four big days that change everything.”

“Human resources are like natural resources; they're often buried deep. You have to go looking for them, they're not just lying around on the surface. You have to create the circumstances where they show themselves.”
