You’ve already expressed my reading preferences well: entertain, educate, and inspire. I used to slog through reading that didn’t meet those criteria… no more. If it’s not working, I’ll stop. There is more than enough compelling reading to which to better dedicate one’s focus.

Well those flowers definitely grabbed my attention. 💕.

If I sense a disproportionate emphasis on stats or credentials or presenting thinly as an "expert" ... it's an immediate turn-off.

Same if they are trauma-dumping.

But if they are sharing personal, lived experience, and using "I" statements and being genuine ... it's a win for me to invest my time. 😊💕
