Reading - I read Anne of Green Gables to my kids and adored it. I can’t remember if I actually read it as a kid. I mostly watched the movie and swooned over Gilbert. As an adult the book hits differently and was so good.

I read the whole series so much as a kid. I should go back and reread all of them. I'm glad you enjoyed them!

Loved reading this (as always)! I also read the Bridgetown document and loved it! It's something I've always believed (that women should be elders), but this gave me the backing that I never could fully process or articulate. Thanks for sharing :)

Ps: we miss you!

I miss you and Paloma so much! I'm glad that document gave you language for what you already believed. Save it for when you need it :)

We have enjoyed a slower pace this summer. Not as much running around and more just relaxing, reading, and trying to enjoy each other's company. We took our annual trip to the lake and it was life-giving in so many ways.

I've been reading some mid books lately thanks to mid book club picks, but I did read through All Creatures Great and Small and it was rather enjoyable. I also read Anne Lamott's Somehow: Thoughts on Love and wow, she is just an excellent user of words and teller of stories.
