Residency Reading!! Two Reviews for "Slow Now with Clear Skies"

The second quarter of the year started with a two-week writing residency at Hypatia-in-the-Woods, at their lovely cabin named Holly House. A haven for writers over many years they had a rich library filled with books from prior authors who stayed there. I used this opportunity to read, as well as to write, and to indulge in long walks in the woods.
A list of books I read while there, all of them ha Read more of this blog post »

Sarah Vowell
“Just the other day, I was in my neighborhood Starbucks, waiting for the post office to open. I was enjoying a chocolatey cafe mocha when it occurred to me that to drink a mocha is to gulp down the entire history of the New World. From the Spanish exportation of Aztec cacao, and the Dutch invention of the chemical process for making cocoa, on down to the capitalist empire of Hershey, PA, and the lifestyle marketing of Seattle's Starbucks, the modern mocha is a bittersweet concoction of imperialism, genocide, invention, and consumerism served with whipped cream on top.”

“Survivors often develop an exaggerated need for control in their adult relationships. It’s the only way they feel safe. They also struggle with commitment—saying yes in a relationship means being trapped in yet another family situation where abuse might take place. So the survivor panics as her relationship gets closer, certain that something terrible is going to happen. She pulls away, rejects, or tests her partner all the time.”
Laura Davis, Allies in Healing: When the Person You Love Was Sexually Abused as a Child
