Guide Page
I started this blog because I wanted to highlight quotes, books, movies, thought-provoking videos, and spiritual passages/proverbs I thought were worth sharing.
The intent was to recommend quality content each week and have a period of reflection.
To mark the occasion of 100 Sunday Supplements (04/09/2023), I made this landing page so it’s easier to navigate previous posts.
I hope you take something away from these recommendations that enriches your week ahead!
