Loving | Reading & Watching
BOOK | Blood Bones & Butter by Gabrielle Hamilton. Lots of books on my nightstand right now seem to be memoirs. I read about this one in a couple different places and picked it up in Charlotte. I have thoroughly enjoyed this one - it's raw and interesting and her writing about food and the happenings in her life and in the kitchen I found really fascinating.
Next up is either A Life of Being, Having, and Doing Enough
MAGAZINE | Anthology. I got my first issue while I was away and devoured it on Sunday afternoon. Loved the articles. Loved the images. Love the size.
TV | Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations. Something about this season has really pulled me in. I'd never watched his show before this season but have been DVRing it and love it. He's raw and the places he's been going this season are really interesting - I especially liked the first episode when he was in Hati.
ONLINE | Here's a few recent favorites:
-
Tiny Buddah | Simple Wisdom For Complex Lives. I especially liked this recent post: Let Go Of Fear By Stopping The Stories in Your Head - Liz Ness's new site: Great Photos +
-
Redefine Your Lovely Life from Courtney at Be More With Less. This spoke volumes to me and the way I want to live my life.

Hi Ali,
Not sure if you know about it, but there's a wonderful show on NBC called Parenthood. Its about one family of three generations and their individual struggles and successes in life as well as how they all come together. In addition, one of the main characters son has Asperger's and they address the challenges and wonderful moments with his learning and growing process. It's a fantastic show full of heart and I would love more people to watch it so it stay on the air! :)
Hi! I've seen it a couple times - I need to add it to our DVR list.

I see "Peace Like a River" on your nightstand, and I have to say it is one of my FAVORITES. It's amazing. The voice is so unique, and you know you're in for something different from the very first paragraph.
It was recommended recently and it was one I'd never heard of before - excited to read it.

I precisely needed to say thanks all over again. I'm not certain the things that I might have implemented in the absence of the entire concepts provided by you over this situation. Previously it was a difficult difficulty for me, however , looking at your specialized style you treated it forced me to weep with fulfillment. Now i am grateful for your support and thus sincerely hope you know what a powerful job that you're carrying out instructing many people with the aid of your website. I know that you've never come across any of us.
