  Spellbound - My Life as a...

  This program is read by the author, comedian and severe dyslexic Phil Hanley, who reveals his unlikely path to success in a story that is equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking.When Phil Hanley was in first grade, he realized something that would forever set him apart from his peers: he couldn’t read. His teachers were ill-equipped to assist him, and he slipped through the school’s cracks, year by year falling further and further behind his friends. Finally, he was diagnosed with dyslexia, a learning disability that would shape the rest of his life.Unable to pursue college or a traditional job, Phil was thrust into a life defined by unconventional twists, including a stint as a runway model in Europe. Eventually, he found himself on a stage with a microphone, a spotlight, and five minutes of jokes. Unlike so many previous pursuits, stand-up felt right to Phil, and he soon discovered that the more he worked at it, the more he got out of it—a realization that, he compellingly argues, saved his life. Spellbound is a story of humor and also of struggle and heartbreak, of constantly living in a world that sees things differently than you do, and of triumph over adversity.Hanley tells us that dyslexia can be a huge challenge, but it doesn’t spell certain condemnation (and neither can he). Just the opposite: dyslexia has been more than a blessing in his life—it’s been his North Star.A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.

  Gardening is not just a hobby; it’s a lifelong passion that connects us with nature, nurtures our creativity, and provides both physical and emotional benefits. Whether you’re tending to a small balcony garden, nurturing a sprawling backyard plot, or cultivating a thriving indoor space, the practice of gardening offers a sense of accomplishment and peace. However, many gardeners approach the craft with the misconception that it’s a seasonal activity limited to the warmer months. In reality, gardening is a year-round endeavor, full of possibilities, no matter the season. 
  "Gardening for All Seasons: A Year-Round Guide" aims to break the traditional cycle of gardening by encouraging a continuous, mindful approach to your garden throughout the year. By understanding how different seasons impact your plants and soil, you can learn to work with nature’s rhythms, enhancing your gardening experience and yielding stronger, healthier plants. This guide offers practical advice, seasonal tips, and sustainable gardening practices that can be applied at any time of the year. 
  Each season brings with it unique challenges and opportunities. In spring, the garden bursts to life, and your focus will shift to planting, nurturing, and preparing for the growth ahead. Summer requires a balance between providing water, managing heat stress, and staying on top of maintenance. Fall is the time for harvesting and preparing the garden for its seasonal rest, while winter offers the chance to reflect and plan for the upcoming year. But the key to thriving in these transitions lies in consistent care and adaptation. By cultivating the right mindset and tools, you can manage your garden through every season, reaping the rewards of your labor no matter the month.
