Dear Friend,
How I love pockets. On shirts and jackets, aprons and dresses—and even in notebooks and journals.
But my very FAVORITE pockets—are pockets of time.
Today is a bonus day we only get every four years! I hope however you celebrate it, it's filled with delight and satisfaction and not an old, lint-covered licorice you forgot about.
“This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Okay, one more celebration of metaphorical pockets (because Gen X calls).
My Substack posts from this month were:
And two bonus oldies:
📌 Taking Note of What You Find Hilarious - the story behind the little notebook in the pocket pic above
📌 Wonder Boys: A Love Song to Pittsburgh and Writing - because I was SO happy to see Wonder Boys on David Bowie’s 100 Must-Read Books
Here is a quick glimpse of the many picture books I was jealous of this month. You can read why (plus my reviews of many others) on my Goodreads reviews.
In case you thought you were the only one with a hilarious creative process (where “hilarious” also means “strangely effective”), check out these behind-the-scenes from one of my favorites, Wes Anderson’s Fantastic Mr. Fox.
Your friend who wishes you a very hoppy leap day and a great “Forward March!”…
