Good Morning! It’s a bright sunny Friday on the Fylde Coast. I went out in four layers but I definitely only needed three and it’s possible, at some angles, even two would have sufficed! Not here in the bookshop though, obviously. Brrrr! Spring officially sprung yesterday, didn’t it? Snufkin must have returned to Moominvalley. Winter is over for another year. Unless we have one of those freak storms that don’t even feel that freakish anymore, due to them occurring all the bloody time.

Hello readers! I have been talking about journaling here for over a year now, and I want to be sure to be super real about how it fits (or doesn’t fit) into my life. This is a quick update on how things have been going. When I started daily journaling back in December 2022, it was via a daily guided course, and it was a much-needed balm to soothe myself during a time of major work stress. I continued writing a page a day after that course ended and was diligent about it having to happen every.

What are you currently navigating in your life and inner world that you would like my perspective on? Not advice. Just a friendly perspective. You can now submit your letter anonymously via this Google Form.

Hi friend,And happy November!The darker months are here (in the North), and that means one thing: itâs time to get cozy. As you know, I tend not to go outside much when itâs dark out⊠so my evenings (starting at 4pm lol) will now be spent exercising, doing puzzles, and reading. Iâve been writing a long list of books I want to borrow from the library this season, and many of you shared that your own reading picks up in fall/winter.

Hi friend,I started reading self-help books when I was 10 years old. It all began with the Chicken Soup for the Soul books. The first one was released thirty years ago, in 1993, and became a #1 New York Times bestseller. It was filled with essays and poems revealing people’s personal stories and inspirational takeaways. Big experiences, big feelings, big questions, big ideas. I read it a couple years after it first came out and was instantly hooked.

Hi friend,Iâm in Victoria right nowâvisiting my sister, my family, my newborn baby niece. Iâve held many of my friendsâ kids over the years, but this is my first time holding a baby who is part of our family, and it is different. I feel the weight of things, with her little body in my arms. The weight of what is true, what has been true, what might be true for her. The weight of wanting her to have a beautiful life, and to feel loved and supported at every age and stage of it.
