What stays and what goes : Organize with intention and create space for grace

Roberson, Faith

Professional organizer Faith Roberson invites readers to embark on a journey of self-discovery through the art of home organization. Forget the traditional tidying trends you've seen before-Roberson's innovative approach to "soul work" goes deeper, asking important questions, like "Is this really what I want, or is this what I think I should want?" and "Does my home reflect who I am?" Roberson's method is holistic, blending the practical act of organizing with emotional considerations. She shows how to shed unnecessary belongings and create spaces that nurture your emotional well-being and reflect your individuality. Packed with questionnaires, worksheets, and solutions to common organizational challenges, this book is a guide to transforming not just your home, but your beliefs about it. What Stays and What Goes also explores domesticity within a broader sociopolitical history, shedding light on how housework has been undervalued and often relegated to women. By unpacking these historical narratives, Roberson empowers readers to reclaim homemaking as a meaningful act of affirmation and self-care.

The Distance of a Shout : Selected Poems

Ondaatje, Michael.

Through poems that grow out of his profound understanding of the subtle complexities of life and relationships, of how we lose and find ourselves, Michael Ondaatje navigates his own past, beginning with memories of distant landscapes, remembrances of his childhood in Sri Lanka and his eccentric family, to his life in rural southern Ontario with its beloved rivers, celebrations of admired fellow travellers and treasured friends, the close ties of children. Ondaatje is one of the great poets of love, and here we follow him through the exhilarations of youth, into that “storm of music” and the passionate swerves of longing and desire, until we reach the calm of that moment when “only a cloud’s reflection holding you up // You swim into late afternoon.” The Distance of a Shout offers us a glimpse into the life and art of one of our most cherished poets and novelists—a reminder itself of the power of great poetry to shine a light on living.

When we see you again

Goldberg-Polin, Rachel, 1969-,

A searing portrait of a mother's grief and strength in the wake of unthinkable tragedy. Once upon a time, I was meandering down the road of life with my husband, Jon. It was a regular and beige life, and it worked. It was a warm beige. We felt, and were, blessed and lucky. Normal. On the morning of October 7th, 2023, Rachel Goldberg-Polin's beloved twenty-three-year-old son, Hersh, was stolen from a music festival billed as a celebration of unity and love--and, in that moment, her life was forever separated into The Before and The After. Over the next eleven months, she and her husband, Jon, would work tirelessly--in public and behind the scenes--to secure the hostages' release, to breathe some humanity into the situation while they were experiencing relentless emotional and psychological torment. The power of her raw and fervent pleas soon made her the face of the hostage crisis. And when Hersh and five other captives were executed after surviving 328 days of violence and cruelty, she would also become the face of its ultimate cost. In When We See You Again, Rachel pours her pain, love, and longing onto paper, giving voice to the broken among us, and reminding us that even when the world feels choked with darkness, light exists in a different way. How do we find it? Her own experience has been extreme, but at its essence, this is a universal story of trying to live with grief. It is a story of how we remember and how we persevere, of how we suffer and how we love. "There are days when I break completely," she writes. "I have cried for an entire day straight. I didn't think it was physically possible, but the weeping never let up. That is a very long time to cry. I kept hoping I would run out of tears. And then there are days when there is a whisper of sun. Not out there in the sky. In me. In us."--.

The news from Dublin : stories

Tóibín, Colm, 1955-

"From Colm Tóibín, "one of the world's best living literary writers" (The Boston Globe), comes a collection of nine short stories, many never-before-published, set across Ireland, Spain, and America--about the complexities of family, longing, loss, and love. Celebrated as "his generation's most gifted writer of love's complicated, contradictory power" (Los Angeles Times), Colm Tóibín is a master of short fiction as well as the novel, able to summon an extraordinary intensity of emotion in a brief tale. The eleven stories transport readers across continents and eras. In "The Journey to Galway," a mother who has learned of the death of her son, a fighter pilot in WWII, travels to Galway to inform his wife and their three now fatherless children. "Sleep," originally published in The New Yorker, explores the rift between two lovers as one of them cannot reckon with his grief and fear after the death of his brother. Death, again, is a central character in the title story, "The News from Dublin," as Maurice Webster travels to Dublin to try to save his younger brother who is dying of tuberculosis. Maurice must petition the health minister for access to a new experimental drug, and this is the only hope."--Provided by publisher.

C is for courting

Gray, Shelley Shepard.

"The second eldest, Beth Schrock always believed herself the most level-headed sibling. After all, in the wake of their parents' divorce, it was she who emerged as the caretaker and steadying presence. Yet after almost two years in Ohio, Beth's life remains the most unsettled. Unlike her younger sister and brothers, Beth has yet to become Amish, or fall in love, much less marry. Still, she is about to take on the biggest responsibility of them all. She is going to be a mother. A single mother. While she's not proud of her actions, she is excited, and hopeful about the sense of purpose this change will bring. When Beth happens to meet family acquaintance Junior Lambright, they bump heads a bit. But after she takes a part-time job at his successful candle factory, it doesn't take long for sparks to ignite -- or for Junior to decide to be the friend Beth clearly needs. Still, neither expects a romance. Ten years older than Beth, Junior seems content to devote himself to work and his two senior Labradors. And as Beth's due date looms, she must choose a path. She considers returning to Cleveland and her high-paying, high-stress, realtor job. She could hire a nanny. But she'd miss so much about Walden -- including Junior. And then, Junior proposes. Beth is sure Junior's sweet offer is only to save her reputation... Unless, like her, Junior is also yearning for something more. With faith, and the courage to open their hearts, they might soon find out." --publisher's website.
