Synopsis

Annie Tempest has been called a national treasure for her much-lauded and internationally loved cartoon strip about a fictitious English village with the eccentric Lord and Lady Tottering and their family who reside at Tottering Hall. During the thirty years that 'Tottering-by-Gently' has appeared weekly in Country Life magazine, the Tottering family – all three generations of them – have been seen enjoying diverse pastimes and sporting pursuits including tennis, riding, skiing, golf, sailing, fishing and cricket. This latest, keenly anticipated offering is illustrated with more than 100 of Annie's superb colour cartoons and is a winning celebration of the Totterings – and the British – at play.

    How should we live a good life in a world we cannot fully control?
    
    In Moral Letters to Lucilius, Seneca presents a collection of philosophical letters exploring the principles of Stoicism and practical wisdom. Written to his friend Lucilius, these reflections examine the challenges of everyday life and offer guidance on developing a calmer, wiser, and more disciplined mind.
    
    Seneca considers timeless questions about happiness, wealth, friendship, anger, adversity, death, time, ambition, self-control, and virtue. Rather than treating philosophy as an abstract academic subject, he presents it as a practical discipline that should influence how we think, behave, and respond to life's difficulties.
    
    A recurring theme is the importance of distinguishing between what truly matters and what merely appears valuable. Seneca encourages readers to use their time wisely, cultivate inner strength, resist excessive attachment to material possessions, and develop character through reason and reflection.
    
    Written nearly two thousand years ago, the letters remain remarkably relevant to modern readers seeking personal growth, resilience, emotional discipline, philosophical insight, and a more meaningful approach to life.
    
    For anyone interested in Stoic philosophy, ancient wisdom, personal development, mindfulness, resilience, and classical literature, Moral Letters to Lucilius offers a rich collection of ideas to read, reflect upon, and revisit.
    
    Discover Seneca's practical wisdom on how to live with greater courage, discipline, clarity, and purpose. Read Moral Letters to Lucilius today and explore one of the enduring works of Stoic philosophy.

    Society was not built with the needs of Black women in mind. As a result, we learn that the only way to feel good about ourselves is to prioritize everyone else's needs over our own. We find our value in being the perfect partner, mother, daughter, employee, and friend. But that is exhausting. Instead of feeling good about how dope we are, we only feel good about what we do for others. 
     
     
     
    Supremacy culture teaches us to hate Black people, to hate women, and to especially hate Black women . . . except when they need us. So in a world where our service is required for acceptance, how could we ever feel good about ourselves while also giving the middle finger to systems of power? How can we live our best lives? The answer: Self-esteem. Self-esteem has been gatekept by the white and male supremacist delusions for far too long. It's time to put power where it actually belongs. 
     
     
     
    In Drink Water and Mind Your Business, Dr. Donna Oriowo helps listeners understand the basic foundations of self-esteem and offers real, meaningful solutions to feel like the most glorious and badass versions of themselves. Based on years of research and Dr. Donna's career as a licensed sex and relationship therapist, this book will help you set boundaries, prioritize your needs, understand your immense worth, and pursue a life that brings you pleasure and joy.

    Small Actions Lead to Big...

    In this 2023 conversation with Justine Wilils Toms, podcaster and workshop leader Omkari Williams addresses the question: How do we keep ourselves “in the game” when we become overwhelmed, dispirited, and downhearted by the enormity of needs in today’s challenging times? Williams gives us some powerful suggestions for a sustainable form of activism that she describes as micro-activism. She believes that the size of the action isn’t the point. What matters is that we take regular action. These can be done in a small amount of time and don’t take a huge amount of energy, yet they have a cumulative effect that is disproportionate to the individual effort they require. Together these millions of incremental steps lead to a tipping point. Indeed, over and over history has shown this to be true.  
    Omkari L. Williams is the author of: Micro Activism: How You Can Make a Difference in the World (without a Bullhorn): Small Actions Equal Big Results. (Storey publishing 2023)
