I didn't want to read this book. I first heard about it when I came across an article in a magazine--some Woman's Day-y type of publication, I think. I read some of the article, thought, "Oh, this is a sad story," and put it down. Well, it found me again. Have you ever noticed how … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: This Life I Live by Rory Feek

BOOK REVIEW: This is the Story of a Happy Marriage by Ann Patchett
I have heard of Ann Patchett before, of course, but I had never read any of her work. Full disclosure: I did try to read Bel Canto once. I have no idea why I didn’t actually finish it. Or start it. I forget. Anyway, my friend and yoga teacher, Kristen, mentioned a book casually in … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: This is the Story of a Happy Marriage by Ann Patchett

The power of one
I have been giving a lot of talks at local libraries. For my most recent one, I personally invited and Facebook invited a lot of people. A lot. Plus, it was a full moon in Gemini (my sign)! At 7:05pm! And my talk started at 7:00PM! I know this is a busy time of year for … Continue reading The power of one

BOOK REVIEW: The Alchemist’s Daughter by Mary Lawrence
I just finished reading The Alchemist's Daughter by Mary Lawrence. All I can say is, YAY! Mary's book is a work of historical fiction, so if you're into that, you'll love it. Not a historical fiction fan? Don't limit yourself! Read it anyway. You'll still love it!

BOOK REVIEW: Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon
I read this book at the recommendation of a young lady, Angie, who visited my author table at the Kennebunk Community Market one Saturday. She told me that Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon was her favorite book. This book says it's recommended for readers aged 12-17, but I object to narrowing the audience for this book. … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon

I caved
Okay, fine; so I caved. When I first published my book, I was cocky. I did it! I wrote it! I put it out there and let other people read it! Guess what? Other people have opinions. Some of which I don't like. Especially about the F word. Does an F word by any other … Continue reading I caved

BOOK REVIEW: Come Running When I Call by Kimberly Sue McGlaughlin
I met the author, Kim, when I first started going to the Community Market of the Kennebunks on Saturdays. I just finished reading her book, Come Running When I Call, a memoir about a girl and her horse. You know, the horse. But don't think you have to be a girl who loves horses to enjoy this book--although … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: Come Running When I Call by Kimberly Sue McGlaughlin

Spaciousness (or: A Theory of Relativity)
In the book What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty, she talks about the idea of spacious days. What a concept!!!! Mostly, my days feel jam-packed to me, without a moment to spare for anything. That's how I usually think about them, at least. My to-do list is longer than my arm. I suspect that other mothers … Continue reading Spaciousness (or: A Theory of Relativity)
