Someone ate all the cookies last episode. So all we have is water.

In this episode, Liora lets you in a little bit more to see her internal framework. She also goes off the rails a bit, as per usual. What are you gonna do? Not listen?

Sigh. Okay. We respect it.

Stay awhile.

We hope you find freedom in this episode.

The Quiet Part Out Loud enters a new season.

Liora took a break from the Library. Join her in a coffeehouse that doesn’t sell coffee while she talks about virality, and the ridiculousness of the potato button on the microwave among other things.

Stay a while. Have ONE cookie. Leave some for the others.

I hope you find something that resonates.

This week at The TQPOL Library:

ANOTHER business proposal that should probably never see the light of day.

An honest reflection on why REST is a REQUIREMENT, not a reward.

And an argument for the existence of little joys that exist because they fulfill us.

Come on in, have a seat. One cookie per episode please. After “the incident”, we’ve had to employ armed guards.

Stay a while, I hope you find something that resonates. And until next time, take care of you.

This week at The Library:

A business proposal that does not seem that very far off from being an actual thing in the near future (you heard it here first)

An update on my flowers on hospice

And a whole tangent on Inside Out among other things.

Come on in, have a seat. One cookie per episode please. That’s the only rule.

Stay a while, I hope you find something that resonates. And until next time, take care of you.

Spirals are expensive, funerals are more expensive.

Roses and Lilies experience the end of life differently.

Just keep swimming.

This has been The Quiet Part out Loud. I have been your librarian, Liora.

Stay a while, I hope you find something that resonates.

And until next time, take care of you.

This episode is meant to encapsulate what life tends to feel like when you achieve a milestone, but also experience a loss of life as you knew it.

I graduated, but I also lost a part of me that has been part of my identity from most of my life.

If any one out there’s feeling just as unmoored and untethered as I have been these past couple of weeks, know that you’re not alone.

I hope this resonates.

A letter to the younger version of me somewhere, someday, whenever you find this.

Here’s a few things I wish I knew back then.

Stay a while.

I hope this resonates.

What happens when your story doesn’t bloom in your lifetime?

When the fruit of your labor is for someone else to taste?

This episode dives into the lives of women who planted bold dreams and never saw them flourish.

And how that ties into the heart of this archive.

Stay a while.

I hope you find something that resonates.
