Hi Jenn!

Thank you! That is the sweetest encouragement! I have been very busy at work on a book for the past year, and hopefully I will soon be at a point where there's news to share about it. I also have a very long term project (started in pre-STAY days) I've been working on that may see the light of day one of these years. Fingers crossed!

When I write something and it resonates with a reader it makes me feel like I am part of a network of kindred spirits. I am infinitely thankful to have this experience. It means the world to me.

Meet Whatshername…(No, really, what should we name her?)

Yes, we did adopt a new friend!

I had thought it was too soon after losing Stella — that maybe I needed to take some time to figure out who I am without a dog. But in these past few months, what I’ve figured out is that I’m a person who finds great joy in sharing my life with a dog. I’m a better me all around when I can be the best person to my dog.

And this dog — oh, this dog is magnifi

Quotes by Allison Larkin  (?)

“If someone changes so much that they're barely the same person, who are you even missing?”
Allison Larkin, The People We Keep

“We have people we get to keep, who won’t ever let us go. And that’s the most important part.”
Allison Larkin, The People We Keep

“You're the gift that came from two broken people. They were weak, and hurt, and cowardly, and somehow managed to make this miracle girl who is so full of piss and vinegar that she survived it all.”
Allison Larkin, The People We Keep

Topics Mentioning This Author

“An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field.”
Niels Bohr

“You forget your bravery. You stop trusting yourself. Other people’s words “You shouldn’t be like that,” in whatever context, become your own words “I am wrong for being like this. It’s my fault.”
Jeffrey Marsh, How to Be You: Stop Trying to Be Someone Else and Start Living Your Life

“Heroes doubt themselves at first, just like you, but they go ahead anyway.”
Jeffrey Marsh, How to Be You: Stop Trying to Be Someone Else and Start Living Your Life
