A pull quote from my upcoming memoir. Chapter 16. A simple request was sidestepped like so many others. Any small way to put distance between my daughter and me seemed part of her plan.

Good morning, all!
There's a real confidence and warmth to this one that feels just right for a Friday at the end of May! The weekend is close, the world outside is looking its very best, and the year still feels full of possibility.
Have a Fabulous Friday. Take care and stay safe. ๐
Good afternoon, wonderful people! Sorry I'm a little late today, but I did have a good reason; I promise!
Today's quote is a thought worth returning to every so often, because it's very easy to move quickly from one book to the next without giving any of them the time and space they deserve. Some stories really do need to be sat with for a while before they give up what they're actually about.
Have a Thoughtful Thursday. Take care and stay safe. ๐
When facts don't fit her belief, the attacks continue.

Good morning, my lovelies! There's a lot of quiet wisdom in this one, and it sits particularly well at this point in the year when the seasons feel less like a sequence and more like a continuous turning, everything connected to everything else with no obvious seam.
Have a Wonderful Wednesday. Take care and stay safe. ๐
Good morning, everyone! There's something genuinely steadying about this idea, that whatever yesterday held, the light this morning is entirely its own. With the days at their longest and most generous right now, that feels like a particularly easy thing to believe.
Have a Terrific Tuesday. Take care and stay safe. ๐
Good morning, my lovelies! It's easy to take for granted just how much of what we know and value has been carried from one generation to the next between the covers of books. Today feels like a fine day to appreciate that quietly extraordinary fact.
Have a Magnificent Monday. Take care and stay safe. ๐
What I saw as strange, I came to see as a pattern. The question I came to ask was not about the conduct, but about the impulse that fueled it.

Good morning, my lovelies! This is one of those quotes that stops you in your tracks a little when you really think about it, because it's absolutely true that every book is a kind of conversation across time, and there's something almost ceremonial about sitting down to take part in it.
Have a Fabulous Friday. Take care and stay safe. ๐
