More Than Words
Nonya's Nonsense Issue #4
Hello beautiful soul!!
I stated in a recent issue that my free Saturday wall readings on Facebook tend to have a theme and yesterday’s reading was no different. This weekend’s theme is about communicating with more than words.
Words just might not be enough at this time. Watch your tone and body language while watching for the same in others you interact with. You or they may be feeling a little different than your words convey.
This does not mean that anybody is being shady or anything like that. It feels more like someone needs a little more than they’re comfortable asking for or has other things going on that they might not be ready to or know how to share. You may need to sit in silence with someone or do something to bring you into a present moment that is light and fun.
If you’re feeling like someone’s vibes are off, don’t jump to conclusions, and don’t try to wrestle information from them. Be patient and allow them the space they need. Likewise, if you’re feeling off, like you’re not really able to be present with someone or are too worked up emotionally, take some space. Make sure you let them know that they’re not the problem or that you need to sit with your thoughts for a time.
What I’m Doing
I have a doctor's appointment on Wednesday and those can take a lot out of me, plus I haven’t been able to take a full day off in a little while. I’m hoping to get ahead of myself a little today so I can take it easy this week.

Amazon sent me an awesome deal to share with you guys! If you (or someone you know) is between the ages of 18-24 or are a college student, you can get 6 free months of Prime!

If you’re in the US and on government assistance, you can get Prime for half price! Here’s my link: https://amzn.to/3TnultT
Reading
I haven’t had the chance to do much reading lately but I’m still listening to book #4 of the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. I just entered my favorite part where Roland begins to talk about his early years, the beautiful and tragic tale of his first love.
Here are my Amazon affiliate links for the first book, 4th book, and the 8-book set:

Watching
I started watching season 2 of The Rings of Power series (Prime), a prequel to the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings books and movies.
I didn’t realize they were releasing episodes on a weekly basis, though I’m sure that’s what they did for the first season lol! I just finished episode 4 the other day and it’s even better than season 1! We’re starting to get to know more about previously unconnected characters who play big parts in the Lord of the Rings books and movies plus a beloved character who was missing from the movies makes an appearance!
I also started watching all the old Superman movies on Max. I was quickly reminded of why I loved him so much when I was younger and I was even more drawn in by watching the chemistry with my adult eyes ;) These movies aged quite well and I’m looking forward to watching #3 tonight or tomorrow!
Writing
