That last thing is of my own doing, and I have zero regrets — I spin these ideas up and execute them with complete joy, no sarcasm, and it’s not only because of the legacy of magic-making that my mom passed on to me (herself a full-time-work-outside-the-home mother who danced on hot coals without my ever noticing it), but because I need to make this magic for myself
I am continually in awe of your ability to beautifully summarize how I am feeling in this newsletter. I needed that permission slip, so thank you. ❤️❤️ also, a member of the climate anxiety club in addition to the general anxiety club so appreciate the warning.
I always look forward to your book recommendations, but lately, I’ve been especially thankful for your pep talks. There is so much to find overwhelming in the world and I’ve felt such a pressure on my heart about all of the conflict. Especially with a son who is fast approaching military age. He wants to join the Air Force and I am deeply proud of that decision, but it is also beyond scary. Your reminder that the greatest overwhelm I should be feeling is the sense of overwhelming gratitude resonates truer than the fear and uncertainty. Thank you.
Ooh...the "World Without Fish" caught my eye; my daughter is doing a year-long project on octopus and wants to go into marine biology. I think she'd find this fascinating. Oddly enough, it's my 'year of the comic-book', that which having never read a single comic before this year (!), I am finding as a new favorite genre.
The Brownstone series are so, so good. Flying Tiger is one of my favourite kid publishers these days. I said I’d stop buying picture books but they are such keepers.
Ahh, fall break. And with a Halloween hunt to boot. Do you put the candy outside in its wrapper only or have you procured Halloween-themed eggs of some sort? This is a friendly request for more information and/or a visual. Hooray for you making all of the magic for yourself and for others.
My kiddos are OBSESSED with the Brownstone books. For the month of September, they wanted to read at least one in the series every night and only when I brought out the Halloween books have they stopped requesting the Brownstones each night. With trepidation, I've requested the World Without Fish and look forward to checking out Wings. Thank you!
Thank you for that permission slip 💛
And World Without Fish is going on my TBR (trepidatiously)!
Thank you for being a magic maker with your words.

“The legacy of magic making” ✨ Beautiful, Sarah.
