Book Musings: Writing Down the Bones

May 12 2018:

Writing Down the Bones – Freeing the Writer Within

“The deepest secret in our heart of hearts is that we are writing because we love the world, and why not finally carry that secret out with our bodies into the living rooms and porches, backyards and grocery stores? Let the whole thing flower: the poem and the person writing the poem. And let us always be kind in this world.”

Another book I deeply loved. Enjoyed the energy of the book and would love to own this one! My reading preferences have shifted for the time being to that of books about writing, memoirs, and creative non-fiction interwoven with spirituality.

The first book that began this path was “The Right to Write” by Julia Cameron. The reading list for this topic is years long. That’s okay though as I plan on writing and reading for the rest of my days here …. xoxo

Lillian says, “Good, musical, favorite fairies are Rosetta, Tink, and Silver Mist, definitely recommended that you watch, and lots of references to other movies.”

Truth Compass – Thomas Darnell

May 9 2018:

Oh Snap! Thank you to Thomas for continually being the one that says to me, flat out, “That wasn’t kind.” …. He’s like a truth compass when my own internal compass feels like it’s been 20 rounds in the washing machine.

Truth be told, on the day I wrote this, I woke up feeling heavy, sad, overwhelmed …. and …..

He’s A Truth Compass

Movie Night: The King and I

May 5 2018:

Team TLC movie night: My choice – “The King and I” …. 1956 version

I say, “Incredibly interesting. Loved the play put on for the English ambassador.”

Thomas is visiting The Romano Duo in Surprise, Arizona.

Lillian says, “Good, liked that it is a musical, my favorite part is the dancing, and my favorite character is Anna.”

Thomas wanted to go for a walk yesterday before heading to the airport. We didn’t have time for a full walk around, so instead we walked to the lake and stood for a few minutes. Such dramatic clouds and sky lately. Incredibly beautiful.

Sunset walk with Lillian. Such a celebrity. We passed a couple who have bought and read her book (one of them a special education teacher) and another person who has seen her on TV. I love connecting with others. Love is beautiful. Love is magical. xoxo

Where Would You Fly – Westfield Indiana and Inspiring Magical Stories

May 2 2018:

What a surprise to receive a message from Lillian’s teacher from 2014! She heard about Lillian’s book.

So, we got to add Westfield, Indiana to the Google pin map today! Lillian wrote some of the stories while in Mrs. Brigitte’s class at High Desert Montessori. So fun!!
