Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas!

See you in the New Year

(and a Happy Christmas from Hogwarts too]

I wish

I wish I lived in Maine and could have a winter ice skating party in my backyard.

Coeur de Pirate, Comme des enfants

hallelujah

If I could teleport,

I would spend the day in London. I miss London today.

Holiday Surprise

Because surprises are fun to get and packages are fun to send, I am trying something new here. Leave a comment with 5 words to describe your self/style/likes, and I will cater a package to the person whose name I draw. You'll be in for a big surprise!

Andrea Boydston

secrets shared

Keri Smith shares her "Secrets of the Self-Employed (or How to be an Amazing [insert profession here])"

Rumi

Great lions can find peace in a cage.
But we should only do that
as a last
resort.

So those bars I see that restrain your wings,
I guess you won't mind
if I pry them
open.

Good Reads

I've read some good books of late -- here's a few...

The Fountainhead
No Impact Man
The Code of the Woosters
Eating Animals
Jane Eyre
Franny and Zooey
How Yoga Works
Born to Run
Little Women
and, let's be honest, Harry Potter (again)

I'd recommend any of these! I've also read a few lately that I wouldn't recommend... ugh.
