I'm such a fan of your newsletters, Tammy. I really do feel as if we're chatting over coffee! I agree re: the coffee in Iceland. I loved reading "I love my life." I'm going to try one or two of these prompts in my writing practice today. Thank you.

Aww thank you friend! When I look at this pic of Chris and I in Iceland I think about yours one of the last days when you made 2 cups of coffee instead of one! They could have used bigger mugs. LOL

Hope the prompts worked well!

Hey Tammy! What a great Sunday coffee read—thank you! There’s something special in the writing when someone is truly happy with life. I enjoyed your post and saved a few prompts for later. I remember A School of Essential Ingredients as being a good read—I thought the same author’s latest book, No Two Persons, was good as well. Happy Sunday!

Dana! Thank you for reading and commenting.

I am savoring this read. I love books with cooking in them. I will check out her other books for sure after I read this one.

If you love books with food and cooking, try Barbara O’Neal’s books—so lush and delicious! The Lost Recipe for Happiness, The Secret of Everything…just to name a couple. I’ll hush now, got me started on books LOL!

Thank you! It is such a fun format. I used to write it on my blog and it was a favorite post there as well! Thank you for reading. Hopefully one of the prompts triggered a few sentences for you.
