When the pandemic hit the United States in March, I decided it was time to reread the Harry Potter series. The world has felt devastatingly dark this year and I needed a good story like Harry Potter to keep my mind and heart occupied. I started rereading in March and I finally finished the last book a couple weeks ago when my fall semester started. Here’s some reflections I have after rereading the series:
Every couple of months I love putting together Read, Watch, Listen posts to share a recent collection of stories I find interesting, good shows I’m watching, and other thought provoking pieces. Can you believe we’re already more than halfway through 2020? Yikes. The pictures in today’s post were taken in Lake Tahoe at sunset 🙂 Something about this Lush Boutique dress makes me feel like I’m ready to vacation in Paris and buy croissants from a local cafe… Anyways, let’s get into today’s read, watch, listen post.
This week has certainly been devastating for the United States so I wanted to share some interesting pieces to read, watch, and listen to so we can educate ourselves on the deep racism in our country. Today I’m sharing some articles that can help educate non-black people on the racism happening in our country as well as actions we can take to be an ally to the black community. I’m also sharing some lighter topics and shows in the mix.
Since everybody is safe at home, I thought I’d share some interesting media to read, watch, and listen to during out time in quarantine. I already did a post on things to do at home during quarantine, but it’s always good to have thought provoking things to read, watch, listen to. I hope you enjoy!
Well, this whole pandemic thing is certainly uncharted territory… Like you, I’ve been stuck at home because of coronavirus so I thought I would come up with things to do at home during social distancing. My thoughts go out to everyone who is having a hard time during this outbreak. My emotions come in waves: fear, boredom, anxiety, etc. I know many of you are feeling the same. Anyways, I hope these activities provide ample distractions during this strange time.
Read, Watch, Listen is a collection of articles, videos, and stories that have caught my intellectual eye. There’s a variety of fun stories I’ve read or watched as well as some social issues that are important to discuss. Enjoy 🙂
