I have been ill with strep throat for the past few days, and am finally rising out of my sickbed to be able to post today. Crazy how long it takes me to recover now that I’m hitting the almost-50 mark. I hope all of you are doing well! Today my post is about the book Out of the Darkness by Debra Holz. Although this book is about depression, I find that my “darkness” is more often caused by anxiety. The two regularly go hand in hand, and it’s a calamity many people struggle with.

I’m really bad about not figuring out that series books go together. Last summer I enjoyed Roots of Wood and Stone by Amanda Wen. When I read The Songs That Could Have Been, it took me a couple of chapters to realize that the characters seemed familiar.

I’ve been so impressed by the beautiful books that have published recently for children. Today’s children’s books contain houghtful text, art-quality illustrations, and meaningful topics. Check out this treasure trove of books from Prestel Junior!

Last week, my husband’s grandfather passed away. He was such a strong spark of a man. He opened his home to us every time we visited the family, and our son is named after him. It’s hard to imagine the world without him in it.

For all the years I’ve been blogging, my Someday Dream has been to work with Disney. Our family holds our Disney vacation memories so dear. My son learned to walk at The Grand Floridian; my daughter discovered how deeply music touched her heart while we walked in Norway at Epcot. Disney is where my husband is finally able to relax and enjoy himself, far away from the daily worries and stress of work and life. For now, getting to share A Day at Disney is the closest thing I can do that resembles a Disney partnership!
