Life Changing

My residency at Chateau Orquevaux continues. 🇫🇷✍🏻 I’m so grateful for this opportunity: The writing I’ve done, the experiences I’ve had and the people I’ve met… Life. Changing.

My first morning at the artist/writers residency at Chateau Orquevaux. 🇫🇷 I’m spending most of the day getting acclimated and sorting though a few hundred emails that accumulated while I was in Paris. Soon, I’ll be jumping into page one of a new book: always a bit intimidating, but exciting as well — before the frustration begins. (How is it that even page one feels like diving into the deep end?)

I’m so hopeful that two weeks here will leave me feeling joyfully accomplished. But, regardless, I’m trying to live in each moment, and take in the beauty of this place and the people and art that surround me. 🙏🏻

Sending you all wishes for joy, peace and creativity as this new year gets her footing. 💫

France!

I’ve arrived in Orquevaux, France, for a two-week residency, to focus on writing.

Even on this cold, cloudy day, it’s absolutely breathtaking. 🇫🇷

Yummy!

I met my first stuffed bagel in 2022, while dining with my fabulous friend and agent, Lori Kilkelly.

For those of you not yet acquainted, allow me to introduce you. 👋🏻 You’re welcome. Happy New Year! 🎉

(Btw, also lovely as a vegetarian option with grilled vegetables, spinach, goat cheese, etc. A tip: trim the BOTTOM of the bagel, so you get to keep the good bagel toppings.)

Happiest of Holidays!

Wishing you the happiest of holidays, wherever you are! And thank you to @tk_aboutbooks for this photo and post! • When a little booklover appears in the family, the holidays take on new colors, new content and new traditions. When war and blackout publishers translate and publish new Christmas books, it seems unfair not to buy them. When warriors at the cost of their lives make both the first and the second possible, it is impossible to give up and put life on pause. A book from my son's favorite series about "Little Construction" with cozy illustrations and a wonderful translation of the ducks, about Christmas holidays and the importance of relatives nearby. Wishing you a blessed Christmas! #constructionsite #тк_продитяче #tk_aboutbooks

Коли в родині з’являється маленький книголюб, то свята набувають нових фарб, нових змістів і нових традицій.
Коли видавництва під час війни і блекаутів перекладають і видають нові різдвяні книги, то здається несправедливим їх не купувати.
Коли воїни ціною своїх життів роблять можливим і перше, і друге, то неможливо опустити руки і поставити життя на паузу.

Книга з улюбленої серії сина про «Маленьке будівництво» із затишними ілюстраціями і чудовим перекладом віршика, про Різдвяні свята і про важливість рідних поруч.

Світлих Різдвяних свят!
