Daybook
and cover reveal
Outside my window: The Cascade foothills are emerald green, and very little snow is left except in the far distance. Shadows dance across the hills as the clouds move in front of the sun.
Clothing myself in: black slacks, black tee, and gray cashmere sweater
Reading: Poetry Unbound: 50 Poems to Open Your World by Padraig O’Tuama
Thinking and thinking: about poetry and words and how much I love the sound of language. My current school studies are on poetry, which might be my favorite unit yet.
Pondering: “Everything that lives is holy.” -William Blake
Carefully Cultivating Rhythm: I’ve found a good weekly rhythm that’s working as I juggle school with the other parts of my life. Mondays: personal errands, author work, Tuesdays: school portfolio project (a screenplay), Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays: tutorials/schoolwork, Saturdays/Sundays: rest/play/social
Learning lessons in: healthy living and how to calm an anxious mind
Keeping house: it’s time to add some flowers to my outdoor planters
To be fit and happy: Yoga, sauna, walking, golf, cycling, weights
Giving thanks: for fresh strawberry season!
Living the Liturgy: still celebrating Eastertide, the period between Easter and Pentecost
Planning for the week ahead: I’m looking forward to the end of this week when Derek and I will take a trip to Spokane and spend the weekend with friends.
Book Stuff: I get to share the cover of my upcoming September book release! Here it is…designed by the talented Samantha Fury. I hope you love it as much as I do! Kristen is available for preorder now in digital (will be available in paperback later). You can read more about Kristen HERE.
