A Mindful Migration

My Favorite Books from 2019

January 28, 2020 by Tanya // 10 Comments

Some of you may have noticed that I’ve been MIA from the Show Us Your Books link-up. Or not. That’s cool either way. Okay, that’s a lie. It’s not cool that you didn’t miss me because I missed participating! But after my move, I sought the comfort of rereading favorite books versus reading new books to share with y’all. No regrets because I needed that comfort but I did regret not participating in their year-end link-up because I particularly love seeing what everyone’s favorite books were. And yeah, sharing mine too.

Yup. Still Here and Blogging. Again.

Whoa. I know. It’s been more than three months since I’ve blogged. I didn’t intend to disappear but well, life. As you know I moved back to Minnesota and started working 9-5, which meant blogging became a secondary … non-existent … priority. Every week I had good intentions to write a Hey, I’m Still Alive post but then, you know, life happened.

September Bookshelf: A Book Miracle

October 8, 2019 by Tanya // 34 Comments

The whole month I had a quite a few books sitting on my nightstand. Did I read them all? No. Did I read some of them? Yes. And I’m calling that a victory! Even better, I really, really loved one of them. That I’m calling a freaking miracle! Or a tale as old as time.

So Yeah. I’m Moving Back to … Minnesota

I’ve known for some time but haven’t publicly talked about it on the blog for multiple reasons, mainly because I needed to accept that it was happening. It’s not a bad thing. Nor is it necessarily awesome. I mean it’s October. You know what’s coming. Winter. And unlike GoT, winter in Minnesota always kicks ass. And again, depending on your perspective, that’s a good thing or a really bad, bad thing.

3 Things: That I Like and Dislike

September 27, 2019 by Tanya // 14 Comments

Sorry I haven’t been around much. It’s been a mix of low blogging mojo, insomnia, allergies (and medication drowsiness that somehow makes my insomnia worse) and hunting fleas (thanks Max) and flies (thanks Fall). It sounds so very dramatic but it’s not. Well, it is in my mind but in the real world – it ain’t no thing at all. 😀 And it’s finally starting to get under control … sort of. So I’m back. Sort of. I have zero ideas of my own but my buddy, Rebecca Jo from Knit by God’s Hand, recently posted this so … you know. Feel free to grab this for your blog as I’d love to learn 3 more things that you like and dislike too!

August Bookshelf: The Whoa Month

Whoa I read. Whoa I liked some books. “Whoa …”, said Joey Lawrence. And woe is me, if you don’t know why that’s hilarious. Cuz it is. Super, super hilarious. Or not. Seriously, who knows. My humor is weird but what I read last month wasn’t … that weird. I don’t think. Some self-help. A little murder. You know, the normal.
