📚PRE-ORDER MY BOOK! ✨ That’s right, besties

📚PRE-ORDER MY BOOK! ✨ That’s right, besties. “Morally Straight” is now available for preorder! It’s currently available on Barnes & Noble, and will soon be available from your favorite indie book store, too.

Back in June, when I shared my book news, I was absolutely floored by the amount of love and support that poured in from every corner of my life. I had no idea that this story would resonate so deeply with so many of you.

I’m hoping that resonance will inspire you to pick up a copy. And if it does, pre-ordering one is the absolute BEST way to support the book. Preorders send a strong signal to the publisher about the potential success of a book, which creates all kinds of wonderful ripple effects. So if you’re thinking about reading or buying this book, a preorder is the way to go!

I should be clear: I’m still writing and reporting and finishing the dang thing! We’re hoping it will land in your mailbox in early 2024. I know that’s a long time from now. But think of it this way: if you preorder it today, your future self will wake up to a wonderful surprise in a little less than 2 years. ☺️

You know what to do: Hit the link in my bio to preorder it now!

What to even say about the past four weeks in the

What to even say about the past four weeks in the Adirondacks. It has been magical. I started daydreaming about this experience when I was sitting in Troy this winter. I wondered, what would it be like to spend the summer in my favorite place? At first, it seemed totally unreasonable (and unaffordable). But I let the idea simmer for a while, and it started to feel more doable. I decided I could swing at least a month, and started scouring every short-term rental site for the perfect spot.

The cottage where we spent this past month absolutely delivered. It exceeded every expectation. Spending virtually every waking hour outside on the incredible porch. Walking into town for tea or pie. Venturing out nearly every night for a sunset hike. What more can you ask for?

I’ve been coming up to the Adirondacks for 4 years now, but almost exclusively on day trips for day hikes. Being here for weeks really felt so different and so wonderful. It was so special to discover the daily rhythms of life in a small mountain town — a place I usually only ever drove though. I found the space to do more reading, more writing, more thinking and (of course) more painting. And my perspective toward hiking shifted from, “how much can I accomplish,” to, “how much joy can I experience?” It’s no coincidence that my favorite hikes were the short ones with plenty of time to swim or watercolor, not the high peaks that left me drained.

I’m heading home with a deep gratitude and appreciation for this place. We truly do not deserve the beauty and the peace that the Adirondacks offers us. I can’t wait to come back again soon.

Simply can’t get enough of this place.
