E se le maschere più belle fossero quelle che ci aiutano a sentirci coraggiosi, gentili e fedeli a noi stessi? Nella notte che precede il Carnevale, mentre l’Italia riposa sotto un cielo invernale luminoso, qualcosa di magico comincia a muoversi. Mentre i lampioni brillano e le maschere attendono nelle vetrine, le maschere più belle e gentili si risvegliano — non per danzare o stupire, ma per ascoltare.

In a kingdom built on lies and blood, some bonds cannot be broken. Merrit Locke runs Lock & Key, a neutral bar at the edge of vampire court territory, keeping her head down, her past blank, and her telepathy a secret. Until Prince Kieran Veyne walks through her door. He’s beautiful, dangerous, and far too observant. When a violent ambush forces Merrit to act, Kieran sees just enough to draw the wrong conclusion, believing she’s a rare seer. A lie Merrit must uphold when he drags her into a world of velvet deception. To use her, he makes her part of his court.

In der Nacht vor Ostern, während die Welt unter einem weichen Frühlingshimmel ruht, beginnt sich leise etwas zu regen. Unter der Erde erwachen winzige Keimlinge – sie tragen Hoffnung, Geduld und das Versprechen neuer Anfänge in sich. Während sich der Morgen nähert, wachsen diese kleinen Keimlinge ungesehen heran und erinnern Kinder daran, dass Veränderungen nicht immer laut oder auf einmal geschehen. Manchmal wächst Mut langsam. Freundlichkeit schlägt behutsam Wurzeln. Und Selbstvertrauen erblüht, wenn wir Zeit und Fürsorge erfahren.

Il giorno di San Valentino inizia come tutti gli altri—finché i biglietti non cominciano a muoversi, i cioccolatini a rotolare e i cuori a scappare all’improvviso su minuscoli piedini di carta. Mentre un bambino curioso corre per il quartiere, accade qualcosa di sorprendente. I valentini in fuga non scompaiono affatto. Al contrario, diffondono sorrisi, risate e gentilezza ovunque vadano—finendo nelle tasche, svolazzando per le strade e trovando la strada verso mani pronte ad accoglierli.

My Path to Atheism is a groundbreaking work, especially considering it was penned by a woman in Victorian England—a time when free thought was often stifled, particularly for women. It took a truly exceptional woman to write such a bold and, to many in the 19th century, heretical document in an era dominated by the Church. Annie Besant, originally married to a clergyman, experienced a profound transformation in her beliefs, ultimately leading to her legal separation and her commitment to secularism. She became a key figure in the National Secular Society and co-editor of the National ...

Kann man noch einmal neu anfangen, wenn man alles verloren hat? Nachdem ich zwei Monate im Selbstmitleid versunken bin, intervenieren meine besten Freundinnen und überreden mich zu einem Trip nach Alaska. Weil ich nichts anderes zu tun habe, so ganz ohne Freund, Job oder Zuhause, stimme ich zu, ohne zu wissen, dass ich mein Herz verlieren werde. Ich merke, dass ich die Kleinstadt Whynot nicht so schnell wieder verlassen kann. Ich muss mich selber finden. Allerdings hatte ich nie damit gerechnet, dass ich mich beim Fliegen finden könnte.
