Last week’s lesson was a big one, so let’s have a bit of a breather. Today, we revisit The Sound of the Mountain’s Call through another song.

Before we begin, I wish to share with you an update on my own Hobbit Moves! Here is the tale of one of my extreme acts of cosiness.

Remember:

A “Hobbit Move” is (1) an extreme act of cosiness OR (2) a small step of courage.

Have you been making Hobbit Moves? I would love to hear about your progress. Please keep us posted in the Cosy Reading Community (free to all! Just request to join, if you have not yet done so). Leave a comment here, or write to me at xandrathewitch(at)gmail.com. I would love to hear from you. Truly!

On we go,
“Xandalf” 🧙🏻‍♂️

P.S. As a thank you for being early, I’d like to offer you a special discount for the entire programme. Here it is! There is no pressure to join. I am honoured you are here, in whatever capacity 🌲

P.P.S. Do you know one person who would love this? Please invite them to read with us.

And now for today’s lesson!
