HerStories Memoir Challenge

badge-memoirbookchallenge-125x125Over at Telling HerStories, we’re hosting a book challenge that starts on January 1. The challenge is to read four women’s memoirs in 4 months. I’m having a hard time settling on my list, primarily because I really want to find a good woman’s memoir on spirituality. I’ve found plenty of titles about journeys in Christianity, but I want something more focused on a perspective of the feminine divine or even on earth religions. So, assuming I don’t find such a title, here is my list of four books for the HerStories Memoir Challenge.

  1. Mosaic: Pieces of My Life So Far by Amy Grant
  2. Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert
  3. A Year by the Sea: Thoughts of an Unfinished Woman by Joan Anderson
  4. Grace (Eventually) by Anne Lamott

An early present for my hunny

I’m declaring a snow day

I was on a conference call and totally in the zone, so I didn’t notice that it had been snowing outside for while. Good thing I didn’t notice while I was on the phone, because I tend to babble and cuss when I get that excited!

It’s snowing. In Houston. I LOVE IT!!!

Now, if you’ll excuse me, time to take the dog for a romping wander through the snow. :)
