Loved reading this! I also loved The Lion Women of Tehran. I love stories about female friendship. I have not read Margo’s Got Money Troubles so I’ll add that to my TBR. I didn’t know that Ben Rector has new music and that he is going on tour! I love him and am going to buy tickets tomorrow!

I love that you were able to take action so quickly on your writing space! Keep up the good work. ❤️

I’m so glad to hear you loved TLEOT, too. I saw it on NPR’s list of books they loved in 2024, which made me feel cultured 🤣 I think MGMT was also on there. And I’m happy I could spread the word about Ben Rector, he’s the best! Also, thank you for your encouraging words 🤍

I am shocked that I don’t yet own Barefoot Dreams socks. I think I’ll put them on my wish list! I love my weighted eye mask. And I love Writing Down the Bones! All the heart eyes over your writing space—the shelves packed with books make my heart sing. Keep showing up and doing the work. I love your writing.

You will LOVE the Barefoot Dreams socks. Pair them with that lip treatment and you’ll be cozier than you ever knew possible. 🥰 And thank you for the encouragement, it means more than you know!
