A Reflection on January
January… I don’t know about you, but this month has felt almost like three months in one. Sometimes, I don’t like it when time moves slowly, and I wish it would all move faster. But, this month, I have been very grateful for how slow the time has been moving, because I know that, as this year goes by, time is going to fly away. This spring is a unique time for me.

Book Review: The Light in Hidden Places
Hi everyone! It’s Amelia writing today to share a book review. I haven’t found much time to read this month, but I wanted to talk about one of the books I read that I really enjoyed. It’s called The Light in Hidden Places by Shannon Cameron. It is set in 1943 and follows the true story of Stefania Podgorska, a 17-year-old girl who hid 13 Jews in her home. My friend recommended this book to me (Thanks, Lillian!) and I really enjoyed it for the way it made me think and the feeling that spoke through the story. I’ll leave you to read the more detailed blurb for yourself if…
