I only sold 20 books at the market yesterday (usually I sell around 50) mostly because the folks with classic cars at Deuce Days were not interested in murder mysteries. However, online this month I’ve sold books to France, the UK, the US & Canada! So much gratitude! #Bookstagram

Why I desperately dislike toxic positivity: ⬇️.
The cost of chronic illness isn’t just physical. It’s losing friends and family. Losing time. Losing dreams. Losing pieces of who you used to be. Losing hobbies. Losing jobs. Losing stability. All while being shamed for not “staying positive.”.
