Run Away with ‘The Night Circus’ and Make 2024 a Year of Magic
Each December, as one year ends and another begins, I choose a book.
A novel that will serve as a source of inspiration and motivation for the New Year.
In the past, I have drawn life lessons from a tapestry of enchanting stories, each offering its own unique lesson.
From ‘The Old Man and the Sea’ by Ernest Hemingway I discovered that true triumph lies not just in victory, but in the courage and persistence we show, regardless of the outcome.
From ‘The Kite Runner’ by Khaled Hosseini I learned about the depths of friendship, the sting of betrayal, and the redemptive power of forgiveness.
‘The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse’ by Charlie Mackesy taught me that wisdom can be gentle and unassuming, and that there’s immense power in asking ‘What does your heart say?’
From ‘Babette’s Feast’ by Isak Dinesen, I learned about the transformative power of art and generosity. And some great cooking tips! Babette’s lavish feast for a simple village community taught me how acts of kindness and creativity can break barriers and bring people together.
