Thank you, Kira! It does seems like AND is an easy thing to forget - I guess we all have to remind each other to re-AND.

What's Wrong With What's Right?
Image
What's wrong with what's right? Well…let me tell you a story: Awhile ago I was posting #whatsright photos on Instagram (and sometimes Facebook) often, as reminders to myself of what's right in my life, because - over the past ass-chilling... Continue reading

Subtitled: A bizarre bookstore, a delightful parenting book, a wild-wonderful book about poetry, and me falling in love with Books (again). For the past couple years my relationship with Books has been in a lull. I've read articles and blog... Continue reading

Julie, it was sooooo wonderful to see you on video - like sitting across from you as you talked about favorite books! I'm going to look for all 3 of your recommendations - can't believe I haven't read any of them. Thanks for this! Two books about writing (and for writers - but also any creative person) that blow my mind every time I read them are: The Writing Life by Annie Dillard, and Zen in the Art of Writing, by Ray Bradbury.

I'm ready to jump in! Well, it's a bit cold to jump into Lake Luxembourg (pictured above), plus you're not actually allowed to swim there, so I probably wouldn't jump in even if the temps were higher, but I'm ready... Continue reading

A Light in the Window
Image
You know that feeling you get when, in the dark of winter, you ride by a home with a light in the window? It's a kind of tender, sweet/sad, feeling - and, for me, an antidote to the groundedlessness and... Continue reading

I haven't shared book lists in a long time - and haven't done many reviews in the past couple/few years either… so you might not know that I love books, but I do! Books were my best friends when I... Continue reading
