Share a summary of the books that I have read recently and if I can add them to your collection.
Hello friends! How was the weekend? We spent it in Phoenix for LIVS dance competition. Your team did a great job, we enjoyed a family brunch and I sneaked up for a wicker class – wins everywhere.
For today’s post I wanted to share a small summary of the books that I have read recently. After a little drought, I have taken a lot of time to read lately. (I also subsided a little for Spanish learning and IHP 3 studies, but it sometimes works.) Almost all of them were homes and I am happy to share them with them! If you have amazing books that you are reading, please let me know. Quite soon I will sit in my hand on a cruise ship -Veranda with coffee and book and I’m ready.
ADHD is great By Penn Holderness
I listened to the audio version and I really recommend hearing it. I have been a fan of the Holderness family for years and was fascinated by this book because I have the feeling that everything I saw online was convinced that I have ADHD. From always learning to push pressure (and then spending the whole night or spending a solid 8-10-hour block), to constant changes in hobbies (remember the flamenco dancing and the ukulele?), List of hundreds of business ideas that lost my attention span and after too much extroversing, so much of its meaning.
This book It’s such a funny, real view of how it is to live with ADHD. Penn Holderness shares his personal stories and shows how it cannot be “repaired” to have ADHD. Instead, he talks about how it can be a real strength when you learn how to work with your brain. It is funny, eye opening and super encouraging for anyone who has ever felt so that their brain works a little differently.
It was also emphasized that ADHD is really a spectrum and frankly I am not sure whether I have it after reading this book. (Another proof of the fact that doctors offer dianoses, not Google or Social Media Lol.) But I still enjoyed it and it is a great memory of how to support friends and family members with ADHD. 9/10

You live in a world that was not intended for you. A world in which they are expected to sit still, stay calm and concentrate. Due to the way your brain is wired, you can feel that you fail in life. But you don’t fail. You are great.
The award -winning content creator Kim and Penn Holderness are on the mission to start, as we think of the disturbance of the name that is unfortunately called “attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. As always, look at it by looking in the mirror because you don’t just study ADHD. You live it.
Penn was in college when he was diagnosed with ADHD, although the signs of a brain that worked a little differently since his child was there. Instead of considering the diagnosis as a curse or giving in feelings of inadequacy or failure, he followed a different approach that he would like to share with other Adhder and the people who take care of them.
Based on their often violent insights and the expertise of doctors, researchers and specialists; Kim and Penn offer entertaining, easily digested advice and explanations, including:
As it is actually to live with an ADHD brain.
How to find humor in the pitfalls, sobbing stories and incredible triumphs (like the time they won the amazing race!) Is delivered with ADHD.
How to adapt the challenges that ADHD presents with a positive outlook.
Targeted tools and techniques that can play their unique strengths.
Fun extras like ADHD Bingo, an ode of freight trousers and what the world would look like if Adhder were responsible.
Take it from Penn: If you have ADHD, it can be scary, but it offers incredible predictions, including creativity, hyperfocus and energy. You could even say that it’s kind of great. Independently of

In 1942, Europe remains in the relentless war handle. A young woman speaks her marriage promise directly behind the tents of the refugee camp who calls her home. It is a decision that will change her fate … and it is a lie that remains buried by the next century.
Since she was nine years old, Alina Dziak knew that she would marry her best friend Tomasz. Now fifteen and engaged Alina is not adopted by reports on National Socialist soldiers on the Polish border and believes that their neighbors are not a real threat, and dreams instead of the day on which Tomasz returns from College in Warsaw so that they can be married. But little by little, injustice by brutal injustice, Nazis activity, and Alina’s tiny rural village, his families, are separated by fear and hatred.
Then, when the fabric of her life is slowly picked apart, Tomasz disappears. Where Alina displaced the time between the visits of her loved ones, she now measures the rooms between hope and despair, waited for Tomasz’s word and avoids the attention of the soldiers who patrol their parents’ farm. But for the time being, even deafening silence of grief is preferable.

Be ready when happiness happens by ina garden
I had been waiting to read this book forever and Finally took the time to listen to the audio version. It has far exceeded all of my expectations. It was a warm, open consideration of how it followed her intuition, took brave risks and built an iconic career, often without a formal plan. From work in the White House to the start of the Barfoot Contessa brand, she is full of stories about her unexpected ways, challenges behind the scenes and the relationships that have shaped their journey.
I have been a fan of Ina for years and have learned to cook the food network when we were freshly married and lived in Fayetteeville, NC. It was wild for me to find out that she bought in the same commissioner (at Ft. Bragg!) While she also learned how to cook … but she would teach me about a screen a few decades later. It is full of funny stories and even better to hear how she tells her in her own voice. It was a nice memory that you don’t always have to have a specific plan. You just have to stay true to yourself and be ready when happiness happens. I loved it. 10/10
