Opening Day of College Baseball – Time to Armor Up – lynn rankin-esquer
I’ve been watching baseball in a very committed way for almost thirty years now (when I said “I do” to my husband it turned out I was saying “I do” to baseball). Lucky for me I enjoy it. Except when I hate it. Which happens every season at some point. At which time I decide…

French Fries at the Dog Park – lynn rankin-esquer
Yesterday I took my dog to the park a few blocks from our house. It was a beautiful Northern California fall day, sunny but with a cool breeze, enough trees changing color to feel autumnal but warm enough to require no jacket. Gently invigorating.

When the Shame Isn’t Your Fault – My Biggest Second Grade Lesson – lynn rankin-esquer
The first time I remember really being embarrassed was in second grade when Mrs. C admonished me in front of a completely quiet class to finish the silent reading assignment. The whole class looked up from their books to stare at me. Over fifty years ago and I still can feel the rush of heat…

Lucky me! Got to read an advance copy of this moody, suspenseful mystery by Lisa Manterfield
lisamanterfield and it did not disappoint (I finished it in ONE DAY it was so good). Succeeds on all levels, great mystery, searing psychological study, plot twists out the wazoo.

Monday Motivation: I like Gilbert’s proposition that ideas are trying to find us. At the very least, being curious sounds like fun. #MondayMotivation #WritingCommunity #writing #writingmemes #curiosity #creativity

Isn’t this what all artists do? They show us the extraordinary in our ordinary. The funny, the nostalgic, the tragic, the enchanting, the lovely. #MondayMotivation #WritingCommunity #writing #writingmemes

“Color is energy made visible” says Ingrid Fetell Lee in Joyful (highly recommend) describing how the Tirana, Albania mayor revitalized his city by painting buildings bright colors. I feel lighter when I see turquoise! What’s your color? #Turquoise #Joyful #RaiseYourEnergy

Things I like: flowers, phone photography, learning new stuff. Saw a post on how good Gen Z’ers are at taking pictures, kind of liked what I learned from them. #LynnLifeLikes #flowers #Photography #KeepLearning #ThanksGenZ #iPhone11

I’ll take the thuds too. Like Anne of Green Gables (one of my favorite book characters ever), it feels worth it to me (most days …). #FlyingHigh #worthTheFall #WritingCommunity #writingmemes #sports #baseball #parenting #AnythingWorthDoing #life #AnneOfGreenGables #AnneShirleyQuotes
