Lingoda Sprint: 3 Considerations
Je parle un peu françias. The YouTube algorithm must have known this because it started recommending videos of creators who had completed the Lingoda Sprint.
Everything seemed promising. The sprint would consist of 30 classes in 60 days ~ averaging one class every other day, no more than 5 classes in one week along with other rules in the sprint
Review: The Last List of Mabel Beaumont
I felt a lot of emotions reading this book. I felt the loss of Arthur – a life partner, the loss of that stability and comfort; the anxiousness of being alone and navigating through a new “normal”

Review: Archer’s Voice
Archers voice was a beautiful story about finding sustenance in a relationship outside of physical attraction.
