Getting my hands on this book was almost like real magic. I recently finished reading Faithful, which I got on NetGalley last summer. Less than a week after finishing that Alice Hoffman novel, I got an email from Simon & Schuster asking me to read her upcoming work, which I've been waiting for with baited breath...

Esme Wang recently published a beautiful ebook called Productivity Journaling with Limitations: The Morning Ritual. It was the exact guidance that I was looking for at the perfect time.

Can you believe that I've been referencing The Artist's Way for over six months and hadn't even read it?! This author is the person who introduced Morning Pages to the world; I think it's safe to say that morning pages have changed my life. When I saw that this book was one of the Kindle...

Not only does another week start tomorrow, but tonight is a full moon. Usually I get together with a friend on the full moon to do a reading, but she's celebrating her birthday with her mother this weekend. We're going to get together tomorrow night, but I couldn't pass up this chance to do my... Continue Reading →
