It all began in a cabin in the woods

Over four years ago I started to become obsessed with reading again.  We booked a remote cabin in the Vermont mountains and while reading Michelle Obama's Becoming at the time I was inspired to write down all of my ideas of a community bonded by books.

To look at books less through a lens of literature critique, but more of connection, relatability, falling in love with characters and places.  

“That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald

Drinking BetterGreens, reading my daily stoic, dog walk, watering my plants and starting my day with me time. Reading - duh!

daily rituals

Tech sales, talking to my dog, spin, watching murder docs, attempting a new hobby.

YOU CAN FIND ME:

Small talk, hospital shows, reading late at night, drinking tea

I'm NOT ABOUT:

Trying new hobbies, walking fast, black coffee, window seats, Gilmore Girls, colour coded book shelves, spreadsheets.
