happiness project: blogs + misc (jun)
Thrive, Project 46, and the monthly projects in my Happiness Project … so many projects! In reality, they are all facets of the same project, guiding me to finish or give up old projects and move forward on the ones that are most important to me. May’s main theme was Volunteering. At the moment, I

dreaming of fall.

look up (again).
Looking up at Arabia. I can’t wait until fall comes around again!
rediscovering books.
Don’t get me wrong. Books have always been central to my life. After grad school, I could only read fluff. My head was filled, no room for anything else. While pregnant with Camille, I read everything I could get my hands on about childbirth and babies. Once Camille was born, my reading was all about

Camille submitted her “Letter about Literature” independently (as opposed to the other winners who had their essays submitted via their schools) and won third prize in her age category.
