Oh happy happy happiest of birthdays to you—birthday month, I suppose? (And here I am writing this after the calendar turns another page) I'm weeks behind on reading my favorite people but I think of you every single day, for there are touches of Kortney all over my studio. A book on the shelf, a poem taped to the wall, an envelope tucked between the pages of a notebook. Do you know, I think I've seen more of your handwriting than any other friend since, gosh, the 1900s? ;)
I love to think of you with your candle glowing & pen scratching as the same sunrise creeps across the sky. From my studio window I can see a line of trees marking the far side of the Columbia shore, so let me fling some good wishes into the sky for you and let the river carry them to your feet. ❤️
The 1900s! That sounds like so long ago! 😂 Thank you for these tender, happy wishes. So much of what’s good in my life + work finds its inspiration in your life + work 💙
Oof! I don't know that I could even think about *half* my years for a goal... Maybe I could get to 12 like Kooser. ;-)
Yeah well another rejection arrived today, so maybe quantity isn’t such a reliable metric 😆
Such a fan of projects like this! Kudos on the 50 ... and I'm glad to see you are continuing with this approach.
Thank you, Amy! It's been the *just right* combination of motivation, gaming, tracking, and reward.

Awww this really inspired me!
Only tracking books here but my reading life has really blessed me and calmed my soul these difficult years.
I love hearing your reflection on reading--not just good stories but blessing and calm. Such a gift!
