SCAM artist alert

Apparently there is someone calling themself "Luigi Calloway" out there who is claiming to be associated with the Mount TBR Reading Challenge. He is contacting authors and telling them if they pay him, then their books will be used for the challenge. It's possible he's also telling people they must pay to participate in any way. Please know that there is absolutely no charge associated in any way with this reading challenge and that this person does NOT represent me or anything associated with my blog. I DO NOT endorse anything that he claims.There will NEVER be a reason for anyone to have to pay for participation in any way for any of my challenges. If only people who exert this much time and effort on scamming people would put it into something worthwhile....like reading their own books! A message to Luigi: Please cease and desist contacting authors (or anyone) in my name or claiming to represent this reading challenge. You absolutely DO NOT.

My Pocket Meditations for Self-Compassion (mini-review)


 My Pocket Meditations for Self Compassion (2020) by Courtney E. Ackerman

This slim volume contains 150 guided meditations to help guide the reader to self-acceptance and self-awareness. Meditations include everything from a focus on what you like about yourself as well as what you like least to exercises meant to teach you to accept yourself exactly as you are. Learning to love yourself with all your flaws is part of that acceptance. It is perfectly okay to want to work on changing those aspects about yourself that you wish were better--but, if something is not subject to change, then it is better to acknowledge that that particular aspect is part of what makes you the unique human being you are. Meditations focus on physical aspects as well as mental and emotional aspects. The goal: to lead those who are serious about the exercises to be more comfortable in their own skin and to live with self-awareness and kindness towards themselves and others.

Ideal for those who struggle with self-image and self-awareness who would like to become more accepting of who they are and what their strengths and weaknesses are.   ★★
