As everyone said all weekend long, we truly peaked. Perfect wedding weekend in one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. Only now that I'm home I'm realizing I was having too much fun to make sure I got a picture with the bride, so you'll have to take my word that she was 🔥👰🏼👌🏼

Stopped by Books Are Magic! with @authorstalker yesterday and it was beautiful, crowded (in the best way), and yes, pure magic! I can't say I planned this trip around the store opening but that is totally something I would do. So glad I got to be here for it 😻🙌🏼

As happens at odd moments, a scene in a book that I had read came back to me and I thought again of Dickens, but this time Great Expectations. I thought about Estella and Pip at the end of the story, and about how they stood exhausted but hopeful within a dusty garden, tasked with rebuilding a ruined house. I thought about how even though neither character knew what to do next, they could see no shadow of being parted.

This book is bananas!!! Beautiful writing and guaranteed to lead to a heated book club debate if that's your kind of thing.

Highlight from last week: Listening to Rev. McDonald preach a message of love as our amazing PP supporters drowned out the protesters message of hate. So proud to stand with Planned Parenthood.

“Having been born in 1939 and come to consciousness during World War II, I knew that established orders could vanish overnight. Change could also be as fast as lightning. “It can’t happen here” could not be depended on: Anything could happen anywhere, given the circumstances.”-Margaret Atwood
I first read The Handmaid’s Tale in high school, and I vividly remember sitting in the tub until I was all prune-y, and having the lines “Waste not, want not. If I’m not being wasted then why do I want” forever etched into my memory. Those aren’t the exact words in the book, but they are pretty close, and they speak to the impact that the book had on me back then. Atwood’s essay in the Times is incredible and the context she gave about the world she was living in as she wrote THT is fascinating. I’ve reread this book more than any other book and I plan to do another read before the new Hulu show comes out (which looks so fantastically creepy)...but first! I’m loaning it out to my mom :)

In DC with a two hour delayed start and reading Jami Attenberg's latest in bed just hoping it turns into a full blown snow day. Who's all grown up now?

The Daily is the best part of my morning routine (besides coffee, obviously), the thing that makes me excited for Monday morning, and the show helping me make sense of the bombardment of news noise 💯💯💯

care. And after the leaves came
blossoms. For some things
There are no wrong seasons.
Which is what I dream of for me.
