I just discovered I have a blog on Goodreads. Who knew? I guess I just never explored far enough to find it. Well, here I am.
I have kept blogs and sent out newsetters periodically, over the years, without much regularity and almost never with any feedback. Kind of like talking into a great void. Not even an echo. How does someone keep it up, after weeks of no response?

quote
“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

After the Storm: the Story of Hannah Applegate Benson Stone (Hannah's Legacy, #1):
"This book surprised me. I expected a simple historical tale, but what I found was a layered, emotional family story that lingers. Hannah’s resilience in the face of loss and change feels timeless."

of
After the Storm: the Story of Hannah Applegate Benson Stone (Hannah's Legacy, #1):
"I closed the last page with tears in my eyes. The ending, with Hannah’s story passing through the generations until Becca finally receives the quilt and sewing machine, felt like a circle being completed. It made me think about the legacies I’ve inhe"

“Sometimes I remind myself that I almost skipped the party, that I almost went to a different college, that the whim of a minute could have changed everything and everyone. Our lives, so settled, so specific, are built on happenstance.”

“Coming back is the thing that enables you to see how all the dots in your life are connected, how one decision leads you another, how one twist of fate, good or bad, brings you to a door that later takes you to another door, which aided by several detours--long hallways and unforeseen stairwells--eventually puts you in the place you are now.”

“Stop trying to find yourself. You’ve had it all along.
Never feel ashamed for feeling different; different is the new normal.”

“If I have one piece of advice to give you all about what to search for in your quest for What Next, it's to find where the line blurs between hard work and happiness for you. To find that thing where working hard at it makes you happy, and where you're happy to work hard at it.”
