My puppy is pulling on my pajama leg so this may be a short rambling. Each day on my way to work, I let myself be pulled into an audiobook. Its like my glazed donut or triple shot latte- a fabulous treat. Recently, have been listening to The Authenticity Project by Clare Pooley. I dread the sight of my turn into the school parking lot because this book pulses through my veins as I listen to it. The premise is remarkable. An old man, lonely and somewhat defeated, decided to write a short brutally honest synopsis of his life in a notebook and leaves it to be found. His last words in the notebook prompt the finder to share their “real” life with the world via the notebook and keep the cycle going. I am three characters deep into this novel and absolutely love it-already inspired to tell the truth about my life to myself each day! Here is one truth I can share with you. I am a reader before a writer. If I am short on time you will find me listening to audiobooks over writing another chapter in my books. Perhaps this is not wise but if fills me with hope and inspiration. I highly recommend this book, it brings me joy this week.
All my best~Penelope
