A Book a Week – First Frost

I read First Frost because it looked sweet. I was on a long flight and this was on my kindle. Once I started it I read it all the way through. I had never read this author before and I didn’t realize this was actually a sequel to a story she published before but it didn’t bother me one bit.

If sweet, a bit magical family stories are your thing and you’re looking for a relatively quick read, this one is recommended.

2016 Stories – 16 – Monthly Art Practice

When planning for this year, my goal was to create an art project for each month. I thought this would avoid the falling off the wagon I do each June/July. I thought giving myself a chance to reset every month would keep me more on top of things and it would allow me to experience a variety of art throughout they year.

I am excited to say I was totally right.

My year-long project of sketching and journaling my “choose” has gone defunct in a few months but my daily art for each month is thriving. I’m done all the way up to October. Considering the fact that I will do December Daily in December, I feel good about my chances of finding something for October and November. And even if I were to skip those two, that means I will have done 2,000 pieces of art in 2016. How awesome is that?

As I sit to plan my 2017 plans, I am hoping to learn from this lesson. Life is all about learning what works for me and making it work for me 🙂

A Book a Week – The Last Time We Say Goodbye

I read The Last Time We Say Goodbye on a long flight. I wanted something simple, quick to read and this was it. Amazon kept recommending it and I knew it was going to be kind of a tear jerker. But I read it anyway. I don’t remember enough of it to tell you how great it was but I do remember it wasn’t bad. Nothing amazing either.

A good book for a long flight.
