Another book! I’m so excited, I can hardly wait!
I’ve been working my way through the first two books, and I am having so much fun!

I’ve missed your posts. What a way to break your silence with such beautiful, image-provoking words. I have varied plans for this precious life of mine but one constant remains: the need to work with my hands every second I can steal.

Looking forward to your new book and your lecture in DC in a few short weeks.

today i just tried to be present. while i painted, i painted, while i did yoga, i did yoga, while i spent time with my husband, i spend time with my husband. everything else in that moment can wait.

That is beautiful, and wonderful food for thought. I hope you don’t mind that I shared your story with my first graders and their parents on the last day of school. I just wanted them to leave with encouragement to never let anyone tell them that their dreams can’t come true. Follow your passions and never give up on where the love of life leads you. Thanks for being an inspiration to me, and to my small class on this last moment of opportunity that I had to hopefully make a difference in a 7-year old’s life.

That’s beautiful. I don’t know what I plan, but this poem makes me feel like it’s perfectly okay. May be the first time I’ve ever felt that way.
