I had a wonderful dinner with an old friend from business school in New York one night.
I mourned the passing of Adrienne Rich.

My favorite blog post this month: Perfect
I read Contents May Have Shifted by Pam Houston, Mrs. Kimble by Jennifer Haigh, Some Assembly Required by Anne Lamott, Quiet by Susan Cain.
We went to a beach an hour north of Boston that is rapidly becoming a sacred place for our family. On a cold, clear late-April day we wandered on the low tide sand. It was magic.

I wanted to tell you that I really like this month-by-month summary. It’s something I want to do myself. Do you look back in December to write them all, or do you take notes as you go?
Love that blue sky!

Pam has been my writing instructor/mentor/friend for 11 years and I know she’d be thrilled to see her quote used this way. She’ll be in Minneapolis for her paperback tour February 5th, so maybe we could meet there????
