You will die with books unread. It’s not morbid, just a fact. So buy what you want, get to what you like when you can. This isn’t a school project, a book report isn’t due. You’ve supported an author and collected art you love. A library of unread books is a beautiful thing
What Are Your Weekend Plans?
I actually have no plans this weekend, and I could not be more excited. I’m looking forward to sleeping in, maybe go out for an ice cream date with my husband since it’s a thousand degrees out, afternoon naps and cuddling with my cats, finishing my book and continue my summer pasta recipes. Whatever your plans are, I hope you have a relaxing weekend.

Friday Escape
Where have your summer travels taken you this year? I'm adding Venezuela to my bucket list! South American is not only home to the widest waterfall, but also the highest. At 3,212 feet high, the Salto Angel in southeast Venezuela is the highest free-falling waterfall on earth.

Early Morning Poetry
Why I Wake Early
Hello, sun in my face.
Hello, you who make the morning
and spread it over the fields
and into the faces of the tulips
and the nodding morning glories,
and into the windows of, even, the
miserable and crotchety–
best preacher that ever was,
dear star, that just happens
to be where you are in the universe
to keep us from ever-darkness,
to ease us with warm touching,
to hold us in the great hands of light–
good morning, good morning, good morning.
Watch, now, how I start the day
in happiness, in kindness.
