Books that are making me very happy while I am hunkered down with day 21 of sore throat:
A Year of Mornings: 3191 Miles Apart: I remember seeing this web site years ago and was struck by the photography and simplicity of their idea: a daily photo conversation between two friends that live 3,191 miles apart. It is now a book, and has a mysterious, elemental beauty that is striking and resonant.
The Bright Side of Disaster: A Novel Just started Katherine Center’s debut book on the airplane and she had me hooked immediately. Very fun and easy to enjoy.
Love Walked In I know nothing about this book and haven’t opened it yet, but the cover appeals to me so much I will happily just put it by my nightstand to look pretty.
Because I Love Her This collection of essays is such a powerful, funny and moving look at having a daughter and being a daughter. It’s a great gift for mother’s day.
On this blog you’ll be learning with me how to use our voices, share our creative superpowers and live life in full color.
As an artist, photographer, life coach + mentor, I’m redefining what it means to be a SUPERHERO — ‘cause in my world, it’s got nothing to do with capes, spandex or sidekicks and everything to do with tenderness, intuition & baby steps of bravery.
i love books too and am totally intrigued when books are arranged by color…
lately, cookbooks have been on my radar, my attempt to bring in non-fiction because it’s the stories i’m always drawn to.
Hooray, hooray! It’s so awesome to see my book on your list! Thank you for including it! And Because I Love Her, too! I’ve actually just made some videos to kind of bring to life some text from the essay I have in that anthology. It’s excerpts set to these great old found photographs. (http://katherinecenter.wordpress.com, if you’d like to take a look!) I’ve been so excited to learn about finding ways–online–to give excerpts new life.
I hope you are doing well. Still so starstruck about LB!
xo! k
I’ll have to read the second one since it’s named after my blog….be yourself,everyone else is taken…
and that katherine center….OMG…I loved everyone is beautiful and I’m now reading the bright side of disaster….like you… and loving it so much !!!!

Feel better soon!
I also love books. Libraries are one of my favorite places. I grew up on books. They opened up my world. I would not be where I am today without them.
In fact, I found your blog through a book… but that was a long time ago 🙂 (7 years ago!)
Love Walked In, one of my very favorite books. I hope you love it as much as I did (and do!) It has a sequel called ‘Belong to Me’. I love books too. Blogs as well!

Who doesn’t adore Amanda Soule?! 😉 The Creative Family is a wonderful book (even though I still don’t sew!) — it inspired my 4yr old daughter, Reilly, and I to make Joy Jars as gifts last Christmas. She was really touched by this & now will make one radomly whenever the mood strikes(most recently when daddy was sick to cheer him up)! BTW, hope you are feeling better – no more sore throat. 🙂 ~ M.
P.S. Still beaming from the news about Shutter Sisters winning the Name Your Dream Assignment! So proud of what’s been accomplished!! Happy, happy, happy for Jen and Stephanie…
I remember this photo from a few years ago….cool then and cool now!

Funny you should mention Because I Love Her. I was just looking at Book Passage’s events and Andrea Richesin will be there on May 4 at 7:00 pm. In the ferry building
Apparently I need to read Love Walked In! Creative Family and 3191 are so very lovely and both mamas, Stephanie Congdon Barnes and Amanda Blake Soule are featured in the May issues of Mothering magazine-so awesome for them! Isn’t it wonderful to have time to read?
Your babe is killing me with cuteness!! xo p

i love books too and am totally intrigued when books are arranged by color…

Fantastic titles! I’m going to look up “Because I Love Her” for my mom for Mother’s Day. 🙂
