Did you know Audubon (yes, the bird guy) was one of the founders of a church up in Washington Heights? If you weren’t able to make it to the live Church Hopping event, you can read about it here, on Burnside Writers Collective.

One person's trash can turn into someone else's dream. Life is what we make of it. We may not always have a lot, but when you're full of creativity you can reinvent ordinary things into treasures and with a little imagination you can transport yourself -- and even others. You can turn empty bottles and broken mirrors into a wonderland, like Isaiah Zagar did with Philadelphia's Magic Gardens (#tbt 📸 from when I spent my birthday there three years ago). You can turn blank pages into stories that change people's lives. Your cup overflows. :::

How can we ensure we're living each day to the fullest, the life we truly want, and not merely existing...?

I got to meet some new friends recently at DeKalb Market Cellar! It's so fun meeting new people and getting to discover someone anew through their friends. They were super smart but also very down to earth. Even though I'd just met them, I felt really comfortable around them. Over the years, I've been fortunate to meet great people through others, and those new people have turned out to be lovely friends on their own. As I've gotten older, so many of my friends are "book people" -- friends I've met through work, through writing groups, through earning my MFA, and through being part of the New York City literary scene ("scene" sounds so loaded, but when you've been around for a while you tend to run into a lot of the same like-minded people, which is awesome). It's fun therefore to sometimes discover a whole new world of fascinating people! How have you made most of your friends as an adult? Has it come naturally or is it a struggle as people are busy with their careers and families?
...PS: If you go to DeKalb Market Hall, which you should run to right now because it's so fun, I'd recommend checking out potato and cheese pierogis at Pierogi Boys and the Paloma at Brooklyn Wine Cellar. :::

It's a new week, a new day, a fresh start. It doesn't matter who you were or what you did yesterday. It's about today. You have the opportunity to do something, even if it's small, to shed your shell and become a little more the person you want to be and to take a step closer toward your dream life. Fill up that water bottle and drink eight cups of water. Send a text message to someone to let them know that they matter, to you and to the world. Read for twenty minutes (audiobooks count). Wear the outfit that makes you feel confident. Ask a friend for input on your resume. Invite someone you admire out to coffee. Sign up for a new class. Buy a notebook to start your novel. Whatever it is you want to do, take that step today. Don't let fear get in the way. Don't make excuses. Live your best life. Live more fully. Be your own hero or heroine. Make a difference in other people's lives. Have fun. Laugh. Embrace the journey! :::

Unboxing time! Look what came in the mail! My new 2020 Hellas calendar featuring photographs I took in Greece. 🇬🇷 Now, every day of the new year I can feel a little closer to home. 🏠 💕 Some friends have expressed interest in getting a copy so I've made the calendar available through the link in my bio and on my website. :::

Up and at 'em this Saturday morning. I'm in the process of organizing my writing materials. I'm trying not to overthink it because it's easy to get sidetracked and start reading through angsty teenage poems and meaningful love letters I've tucked away into overstuffed drawers. I've got several works-in-progress, along with books and magazines featuring my writing, and not enough room for it all. Ah, city living. I've managed to clean out three whole drawers! I'm relying on The Container Store to help me make full use of my vertical space (yay for dramatically high ceilings!) and "Tidying Up with Marie Kondo" and "Tiny House Hunting" to keep me motivated and to give me creative space-saving ideas. Unfortunately, I didn't inherit the Swedish minimalism gene. I keep thinking about how Ann Charters discovered that Jack Kerouac was meticulous in keeping files of his writing, and I want to be like that. I don't want to purge all physical copies, as I'd like to keep certain things for posterity's sake. I've lost too much to website closures in the past. Writers, please send me your tips! How do you store all your contracts, clips, and various versions of manuscripts-in-progress without going completely digital? 📚
