wish list

The other day I bought all the books on my wish list. It was impulsive and so worth it. Because every time I look at this stack of happiness, it feels like life is about to get more interesting. So I'm counting down to the next plane ride. And it looks like there will be a few of them in October. There's an idea that's been floating around in my head. I don't know how to articulate it yet, but it involves great people, and photographs. And a bit of mustering the courage to do something that's out of my comfort zone. That in itself comforts me. Because it doesn't matter if you fail when you're being brave. I think the courage is in itself the success. At least that's what I'll be telling myself. :)

Hoping to announce dates and cities very soon. And if I'm in your hood, maybe we could meet up for a sesh or over coffee.  Ciao!

ooh, some of those look right up my alley. I'm gonna have to pick up a few tomorrow before my plane ride.

and Mailie? You GO girl. Your ideas are always fabulous, and I can't wait to see how you bring them to life!

Maile,
I've been a long-time blog stalker that's commented once before. If your travels take you to NYC (I'm a Texas-transplant here), let me know. And I currently work in publishing and thank you for contributing to the book business -- you did quite your part here! If there are ever any HarperCollins books you want for free, I can hook you up!

Boulder, CO please..................

Hey hey! If you're going to the East Coast at all, you're SO welcome here. Maine is where cousin Elizabeth lives - and that's only a day's drive away from MY island... Cape Breton.

I've been thinking about train trips too... at some point in the next year (maybe?) I might come down your way.

I'm so loving that you ordered all your wist lish (HAHA I'm so leaving that dyslexic typo) WISH LIST - books. It's about treating yourself because you're worth it, and doing it in the here and now.

Love it!

Good luck on your venture. Getting out of your comfort zone can be terrifying and exhilirating! Are you going to give reviews for all those books??

[Amanda]

Thanks for this, I'll be adding some new books to my wishlist.

East Coast! Fredericksburg, Va (great history here) is my vote.

You should never ever have to justify buying books. Reading is feeding your mind and your soul. I'll keep my eyes out for Boston to show up on your list of cities!

I hope it's a traveling Glam squad hitting all major cities. I'm in the Detroit area and could get a huge group of girls to come get fab photos done!

I think you are SUPERWOMAN. Seriously. Mom of Three. Kick Ass Photographer. Entrepreneur. Loving Spouse. All of this and the ability to have your own life as well. You really have your stuff together. Could you please teach classes? :o)

THAT is a serious stack of books. I would feel the same. Books make me happy *
