Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
Lately I've been thinking about Maria Popova's interview with Krista Tippett that aired two years ago. I've been wanting to listen to it again but have found it difficult to find the right moment. But when I started this morning's pancakes and tapped into my podcast app to find something to listen to, guess what... Continue Reading →
Less than a month ago I was debating whether Morning Pages were still worth the time and energy anymore. At that writing, I recommitted myself to writing daily and promised to check in with my thoughts.

Happy Saturday! It is muggy here in New Hampshire, but I hope it's lovely in your part of the world. I've been up doing my morning ritual and am ready to share a few of my favorite links from this week. Anne Bogel shared her 9/11 story in such an honest way. She was on... Continue Reading →
It's Saturday morning and I'm so happy to be sitting at my keyboard, getting this post ready to share. The sun is rising behind me and I can see its reflection on the wall just to my left.
