Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
Thank you to Bookish Beck for creating and hosting this link up! This is a fun one, especially because it reminds me how incredible the public library is. And I'm so lucky that my librarians are so kind and I'm slowly becoming more brave about making special requests. Go visit your local library - they... Continue Reading →
Happy Top Ten Tuesday! Thanks to That Artsy Reader Girl for posting this weekly link-up. Today's topic explores books recently added to my wish list. I feel like the list is ever-expanding and link-ups like this don't help me exercise much self control!! I recently discovered Marilynne Robinson and I'm ready to devour her, despite...

https://twitter.com/marykarrlit/status/1071582297437151232 Mary Karr, who I think I might be distantly related to (by marriage), wrote that tweet on December 8 and I can't stop thinking about it. And she's right. I'm slowly picking my way through Daily Rituals: How Artists Work, and it's amazing how many writers and thinkers swear by their walks. It shouldn't... Continue Reading →
I wasn't planning on writing this morning, but my WordPress Reader was full of inspirational writing posts (thank you!), so here I am. The floors are covered in books and blocks, little fuzzies, and bread crusts, which is what I should be attending to. But my biggest bear is playing make believe and wants to... Continue Reading →
I'm trying to listen to podcasts again. When I drove to work every day, I had several on rotation. Most were about an hour, so I could listen to the first half on my way to work and then finish on the way home. It was a neat and tidy way to learn about something... Continue Reading →
I love it when what I'm reading happens to be in line with the things I'm thinking about. Isn't it funny how that happens? It's like when you learn a new word: all of a sudden you see and hear it everywhere. Was it always there and I'm just now noticing? What else am I... Continue Reading →
It's Tuesday! Thanks to That Artsy Reader Girl for hosting this weekly link-up. This week's topic is probably the easiest yet: books that I meant to read last year but didn't get to! 2018 was a slow reading year for me, so there were a ton of books that I would have loved to tackle....

I recently wrote about my interest in engaging in a Depth Year, one in which I will focus on what I have and won't engage in any new endeavors. A depth year would give me an opportunity to figure out what's important to me and focus on enhancing skills. I haven't been so great at... Continue Reading →
2019 is the year of the PAUSE! This year, I'm making an effort to wait a couple of heartbeats before making a decision or replying when something rubs me the wrong way. Of course, there are moments when I totally blow my lid or lie without meaning to, but I think I'm becoming a bit... Continue Reading →
I started writing morning pages just over two years ago. I loved it and looked forward to waking up at 4:30 nearly every single day to write in my journal; I relished being able to get the coffee pot ready each night and then crawl out of bed to the smell of hot coffee and... Continue Reading →
