“It’s not the weight you carry but how you carry it— books, bricks, grief.” — Mary Oliver She is one of my favorite poets. I used this as an epigraph in my memoir about a year I spent in Nebraska. My professor at UNL gave me one of her books after a difficult time, and it is still one of my most treasured possessions. In many ways, her words saved me then, and have continued to so many times since. Whenever I read her poetry I felt it deeply. And it always felt like the truth. And the only things worth writing about speak directly to it—The truth. And when it comes to telling the truth: She was truly the best. Thank you for your precious life, Mary Oliver. #maryoliver #maryoliverpoetry #poetry #beauty #quotes #amreading #allthethingsthatneverhappened
Colm’s snow day: He used a bunch of his extra #legos to create a Race car 🏎 Grand Stand complete with sports commentators and hot dog vendors. He bought and built the #Legos Porsche yesterday at Target with his bday gift card, and thought it needed something #extra. #creativekids #lego #colmpaints

“It was that affirmation that always amazed me. Even the oddest, most particular book was written with that kind of crazy courage—the writer’s belief that someone would find his or her book important to read.” —@susanorlean #thelibrarybook Another great book for 2019–at once a love letter to libraries and all that they are, a history of the Los Angeles Library, as well as the story and unfolding mystery of its 1986 fire that consumed 400,000 books and damaged 700,000 more. If you love books, reading them, talking about them, and even writing them you’ll love this book that defies genre. It’s a memoir, a mystery, a biography, and somewhat encyclopedic with its impressive amount of research and information. #amreading #amwriting #bookstagram #reesesbookclubxhellosunshine #reesesbookclub #hellosunshinebookjanuary2019 #library #librarybooks #booknerd #akeeper #iloveit #firefightersdaughter

Rare night with no kids and no deadlines. We checked out the Karrikin Spirits Co. The homemade Prosecco is #delish and Greg is a fan of the Hazy IPA. Lots of hipsters and such. So wear your flannels and comb your beard, it’s where all the cool kids are. #weareold #datenight #yum #tgif
I love all of Dr. Joe Dispenza’s books. My friend Christy told me about a book she was reading that she loved and when I went to pick it up from the bookstore, I realized it was by the same of author of a life changing book I read a while ago: Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself: How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New One. This book takes it up a notch and shows not only how much we limit ourselves with our thoughts and behaviors, but just how #limitless we ALL are. Packed with science, data, and experience (medical, scientific, personal, and mystical) it’s a great read and yet another reminder of the importance of meditation, mindfulness, and conscious awareness of our own mind’s power. #thoughtsbecomethings #becomingsupernatural #amreading #vibratehigher #heartcentered #bookstagram
Um. Perfection. And not just because it’s my favorite color. Ok it’s because it’s my favorite color. So far so beautiful. #goldenglobes2019 #allisonjanney #takemyopinionswithagrainofsalt #currentlyinpajamas #justanothercouchcritic
Here we go again. Time to say goodbye. We had such a great break and we are going to miss her, but we know she’s going to have a great quarter and is going to have the time of her life in Chicago, so no tears!
