Every time I finished a chapter, I sighed. #ciaheartsbooks #booksky 💙📚

“I wondered how it would feel to like who you are, changing it up as needed to stay on top with ease. […] I felt safer in those waters, honestly. Technically Emmy was like me: dead dad, messed-up mom. But damned if you'd ever guess. She seemed like a person born to have sidewalks under her feet.”

What is RED? It’s not because they’re running extra service because of the #NYCFC v Red Bulls derby, is it? Because if so, IT SHOULD SAY BLUE 🔹🔷🔵🔷🔹 #ciaheartsfutbol #njtransit

Transit app feed saying RED. What does it all mean?

Before Boo Radley 👻💩 there was Atticus Maximus 🐻💩 for 11 years. We finally put down his ashes under our garden water feature today. He was a very good boy. 😭

Atticus Maximus, a very good boy for 11 years, deserves a space in my favorite spot in our garden today.
