I finally finished Will by Will Smith. It was an amazing read, there is a lot that I learned about Will the man, and the gems of wisdom that was shared gave moments of reflection in his personal and professional life. More thoughts to come once Iโ€™ve had time to gather my thoughts.

Reading this book gives me new perspective of our political system and the parties that represent the people of the United States of America We were never suppose to persevere, but serve a country that saw us less than human.

The soothing relief of turning up the music and letting the world fall silent is where I am at these days. Only the gentle language of music and the printed page speaks to my soul with the tender resonance of a devoted lover.

I have been putting off reading the bookclub read because I wanted to complete a few other books ahead of it but now I feel this storyline between Elise and Layla about to get real dark and tricky. This is not a love story. ๐Ÿ˜ถ
