Oohhhhhhh. So far, all of Aabria's Dimension 20 seasons are intensely literary Misfits and Magic - Harry Potter ACOFAF - Jane Austen, Bridgerton Burrow's End - Watership Down, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, Animal Farm, 1984, etc.

There's something delightful hearing her talk about not coming to TTRPGs through high fantasy like Lord of the Rings and Wheel of Time, but yet there's so much bookish influence on her GMing work. Diversify the literary influences!

I read. Obsessively. Because, when I read, there is purpose to my loneliness.

"What we read and why we do so defines us in a profound way. You are what you read, I suppose. Browsing through someone’s library is like peeking into their DNA."

"The Mastery of Love" is a book by Don Miguel Ruiz. It teaches us how to have good relationships with others and ourselves. The book says we should love and accept ourselves first, so we can love others better. It talks about how to stop feeling scared or jealous and how to love and be loved. It also tells us that people show and feel love in different ways. It helps us learn how to talk nicely and set good limits in relationships.

Some lessons from the book:

To have good relationships, you need to love and accept yourself.

You can learn to overcome fear and stop it from ruining your relationships.

Real love doesn't depend on conditions. It's not about what someone does for you.

Good communication is important. You should talk honestly and nicely to others.

Understand your feelings and thoughts so you can have better relationships.

Holding onto anger and resentment hurts you. Forgiving is good for your heart.

It's okay to say no and set limits. This helps you have balanced relationships.

Love is stronger than fear. Choose love in your actions and thoughts.

Focus on the moment. Don't worry too much about the past or future.

Loving is a skill you can practice and get better at over time.

The book has short chapters with things to do and think about. It helps us use these lessons in our own lives. Read this book if you want to learn how to make relationships better and feeling good about yourself.
