I have been expecting you forever

Quote of the day: ” ‘You are late,’ he said. ‘I have been expecting you forever.’ ” ~ William Kent Krueger Northwest Angle I’ve been reading the latest book by one of my favorite authors, William Kent Krueger.  Krueger writes novels that are part mystery, part thriller, with a deft touch of humanity and wisdom sprinkled throughout.  His books are set in Northern Minnesota, especially the Boundary Waters area, one of my favorite places on earth.

Live Out Loud

Quote of the day: “I am here to live out loud.”  ~ Emile Zola Life is short so you may as well live out loud while you’re here.  Why not switch from “what will people think” to “I am enough”? Sing out loud – dance around the kitchen – hug someone you love – play a game – give something away – wear purple and red – say what you think – do at least one thing you love today – say “Hello” to a stranger – when someone asks you how you are, tell them, really, how you are – Read more…
