… just wow. I’ve not been so impressed with a novel in a long time. Some of the different perspectives and time hopping left me a little disoriented and confused, but I’ve never been good with books not being more or less linear. Just how my brain is. I would be curious to see if [...]

Quote of the Day
It is a curious thing, Harry, but perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it.Albus Dumbledore I finished the 7th book today. I have my thoughts about how things ended... did feel a bit rushed in some ways, and I was wanting more, but. It is what it [...]
Quotes of the Day
She’d lost tons of time looking for a travel companion, a whole bunch of frightened little boys who were only prepared to explore what they already knew— for them, even Latin America must have posed a threat. They liked to pretend they were free as long as they were within safe range of their mothers’ [...]
Stephen King – On Writing – Review
To say that this book [re]inspired me to write would be an understatement. I've been on the verge of a new creative journey for a while (a novel, I think, at last), and this work has been instrumental to that end. I think it helped me to realize that the "writer's club" isn't some snooty [...]

Wellness Wednesday: Connection, or Lack Thereof
Just as the tides produce a cycle of balance, you, in your relationships, can intentionally go through cycles that will bring you and your partner into balance and deeper intimacy. For anyone who has been reading my blog, you know I have been reading How We Love, by Yerkovich. I just finished it last night and [...]
Wellness Wednesday: Your Love Style
This isn't the love languages, but I recently started reading How We Love and have found it enormously helpful thus far. It has helped me figure out my patterns of relating to people (formed in childhood) and how they have caused havoc in some of my friendships/relationships, some more than others. To anyone who has dated me, [...]
