I hope today you look at someone the way Pogie looks at me when I have a baked good. Love is cool. xo

Have you ever just completely fallen in love with a piece of music? youtu.be/ZWCZq33BrOo?...

Very very relatable. Good luck to P.G.!

These two have my whole heart. #maine #winter #love

I am feeling super frazzled today, worried about a zillion things beyond my control, and basically the opposite of a stoic. But there are mountains and cool bits of ice and right this second some snow coming down so I'm trying to lean into how lucky I am to live in this cool wintery place.

My emails & DMs every day in winter: You live in Maine? There must SO MUCH snow! You're wearing flannel because it's so super cold. I could never survive that. Spoilers: I am wearing flannel. There is no snow any longer where I am. It's about 37F/3C now. Big truth: I really really love it here.

This is happening in my town. And it makes my writer heart SO happy. What is this? Can you guess? IT IS A LIBRARY ADDITION!!! I'm pretty impressed by all the people who made this happen. #librarylove #library #maine

Trying to muster up the courage to touch my laptop after weeks of ignoring it. How did I do?? I feel like this was a good first try. I’ll try again…next week 😬 Have you ever taken a break from something and then been scared to start again? #writer #writing #writerlife #writingcommunity #amwriting

This very fine Wednesday morning, I give you Mr. Murphy in a hat. I hurt my eye the other night (it's the one I use to read with--my eyes have differing roles because my brain is funky like that) and it's making it a tiny bit hard to write/post/see. But I can still see this big boy. <3

"It is a serious thing // just to be alive / on this fresh morning / in this broken world." - Mary Oliver, (2008). “Red Bird: Poems”, p.28, Beacon Press And that's how I feel this Monday. You? The photo is just a little one I took this weekend in Acadia National Park in Maine (where I live).
