Tea time in Bath! Loved my English tea with an English garden just outside!
all the words
When I write a blog post, I often sit with a cup of tea and ponder what I would say if you sat with me. That's what this space is for. You and me, hands wrapped around warm cups, catching up, sharing thoughts, dreaming, living creatively, and enjoying all the things in real life.
Lioness of Boston
Some books show up when you need them…for me, this was one of those books. The Lioness of Boston by Emily Franklin mingles history, fiction, and poetic prose in a book that drew me in and held me tight. I wanted to linger in its pages.
Frogs with signs & how insecurities lie
Surrounded by a feast inspired by the book that everyone seemed to love. The women’s delighted chatter filled up the room around us, but I didn’t have much to say. My insecurities started to whisper that I had made a mistake.
Maybe the frog was warning me…
Cozy. Melancholy. Lovely.
It is a book that broke me out of a reading slump and reminded me of all I love about reading and what I love about writing.
