Just came across this beautiful representation of one of my goals for the new year. I love Mary Engelbreit's work and miss her magazine, but recently found her blog. Kudos, Mary!
On my quest toward meeting what has become one of my primary New Year resolutions -- continuing to heal my heart (hence, the "let go" mantra) -- I was browsing in the 306 section of my public library (don't forget the importance of supporting your public library and the gift of free browsing for all!) when I stumbled upon a wonderful book: Drunk, Divorced and Covered in Cat Hair by Crazy Aunt Purl (a.k.a. Laurie Perry).
Thankfully, my library visit was on a Friday, as I took the book home and sat down to take a glance, and subsequently stayed up late into the night and read the entire thing! Her words were like reading a recounting of my own crazy emotional journey of the past six months (and the cat on the cover even looks a LOT like my newly adopted fuzzy ball of kitty love).
The day after my marathon night of reading, I was delighted to discover Laurie's blog! I was also excited to find that she just released her second book -- Home is Where the Wine Is -- which I ordered that very day. The Amazon fairy delivered my package including the new book last night, so I'm off to continue reading. Thanks, Crazy Aunt Purl!
Until next time...
Thanks for the tip. Always good to find a great read.
