34 years ago today, deep in the Southern Ocean all of us on Maiden listened to the @bbcworldservice to news of the #BerlinWall coming down. We wondered what the crew on the Russian yacht Fasizi would be thinking. The real world seemed so far away @maidenfactor

I ADORE this concept, and will try to carry on this tradition! Now, to get writing, so I can eventually query again!

I wholeheartedly endorse the concept of rejection cupcakes. And, as someone who got 126 rejections before my first sale, I say: “Onward! Success is nigh!”

Also LOVED jackgilbert poem mentioned in New Yorker article: "we must have/the stubbornness to accept our gladness in the ruthless/furnace of this world. To make injustice the only/measure of our attention is to praise the Devil"

40 minutes online chat with @gobrightspeed to get my landline (that they cut back in March) finally buried so we don't accidentally cut it again. They insist someone be home, but scheduled it on a day we're out of town with no option to reschedule!!🤪🤯

In honor of Pet Memorial Day (last Sunday) I have buried the ashes of both of my cats under these lovely cat-shaped stepping stones. Also, our phones keep playing slide shows of all the pictures we've taken of them over the years...which is A LOT!! I love it!

oh, I loved this book. I just left it lying around in my house and my kids could pick it up and leaf through it...Such a reassuring message, too.

Today is Read a Book Day and I was reminded that my mom always said, "Every day is mothers' day" when we tried to celebrate Mothers' Day... I feel the same way about Read a Book Day... isn't EVERY DAY "Read a Book Day"?!

As a kid, I had no allergies. But once when my family was on a trip to Wyoming (my dad's happiest place on the planet), my sister and I got blueberry popsicles — and broke out in hives. Happy Blueberry Popsicle Day!
