Getting Serious about Rest
On the book Rest: Why you get more done when you work less by Alex Soojung-Kim Pang, and how it’s affecting my shift into slow productivity.
No, I'm Not Dead
The Sphinx’s Heart coming November 16, new print covers for Finding Heaven now available, and an update on my crazy life for the last several months.
The Year of Playing with Words and Yarn
This year, I'm taking my knitting business in a slightly new direction, one designed to respark my joy, to borrow an overused trending phrase.

And that’s a good thing.
Turning Points
In which I talk about When Words Collide, the hierarchy my kids used to survive the weekend (and provide therapy fodder for later), the Adventures of Hagrid and Dumbledore, and purple hair. Also, a sneak peek at what’s coming next ‘round these parts.
Remembering How to Chillax
In which I discuss the family vacation, progress on The Sphinx’s Heart, and introduce our trip mascots, Hagrid and Dumbledore.

7 Things I'm Grateful For
Wow, so much has happened last week/will be happening this week that I'm going to be posting a couple times this week. For today, because it's Monday, because it's been a while, and because I'm much better at posting these moments on Instagram and Facebook than keeping my blog updated, here's a 7 Things summary of what's been going on.
