If you are a practicing Christian actively in support of a citizen being executed in the street for loving his neighbor by protecting her from a violent attack from a group of masked men, then you are not a practicing Christian; you are Godless. Hope this helps! #abolishice

Love yourself. Then forget it. Then, love the world. -Mary Oliver

to my nonfiction pals: when u get an acceptance do u feel extreme delight that the public will be reading your work but also extreme dread that the public will be reading your work? sincerely, a professional oversharer. #memoir #nonfiction #writingcommunity #writerslift #writerslife #amwriting

grief & joy. we have a responsibility to practice both as we build collective power in bringing forth a better world. #maryoliver #poetry #booksky #poetrydaily #skypoetry #poetrycommunity #grief #joy

Each morning I read a few Mary Oliver poems before I do anything else & the clarity of her language helps me start the day with a clarity of mind. #maryoliver #poetry #nature #ecopoetry #writingcommunity #morningritual #morningroutine

This is the year I read 100 books! And because I'm unreliable, I devised a monthly plan to help me get there:

Read 8 books/month & intentionally choose books from 8 different genres.

Would LOVE to see what reading plans others have for the new year?
