Reflections and Readings from My Bradbury Trio Program

Happy Llama Tuesday!

Yesterday I did not feel well. It was the full moon, which is typically an energizing couple of days for me, but this cycle that was not the case. I felt bone numb tired. I didn’t want to move off the couch. Chris and I did go for our regular after dinner walk, which I was glad we did, but I didn’t feel better.

On Sunday, Mother’s Day in the US, I spent the day with my son. We had lunch at Weber Grill, got his passport photos, went to the Lego store, the bookstore, and Ikea. It was an amazing and long day. I figured my tired state might be the aftermath of a day away from home.

Me Before You was a book that wrecked me when I read it. The clips from the movie kept coming up in my IG feed, so I wanted to watch it last night. There is no way to get through that film without me crying. I was prepared for it. Did it make me feel better? I am not certain about that. It is a very different movie than Nonnas which we watched on Netflix the evening before.

Why am I telling you all of this? Honestly, I am not sure. I have started this intro today several times and nothing seemed right. I have many meetings today. I am going to work on my novel length project after I hit PUBLISH on this post. I want to be reading the book I have book club for next week. I need to reread In The Dream House because I am meeting Carmen Maria Machado next Friday. Will I get to that? Time will tell. I also have errands to run after my meetings today.

It makes me happy to share mundane snippets from my life. I love to read them from other people, too.

I hope you have a great Tuesday and enjoy the readings I have curated for you today. I hope they inspire you to write a line or two in your notebook.

The Bradbury Trio [reading a poem, an essay, and a story every day] fuels my writing.

This trio structure inspires me to write in response to these pieces either individually or as a collective. My wish for you is that your reading leads to writing that would not happen any other way.

If you enjoy this concept and would like to read with a group, I invite you to join the 4 -week Trio course beginning at the end of May. You can find more details here:
