How To Stop Your Grown-Up From Making Bad Decisions Book 1 in the Nina The Philosopher Series by Judy Balan. I'm going to write them all and post in my wall. The book is written amazingly and you will feel every emotion they feel.This duo has captured a place in my favorite fictional friends list.Įvery chapter starts with a theory from Meg/Tania. She believes in astrology and you'll get to know about the signs and predictions. She believes that the universe will show her the way and follows that.

Another strange thing: we drive everywhere, moving from bubble to bubble-from our dingy new apartment to the car to the store and back. Cashiers always seem to be in such a hurry, like they’re paid by the customer. My mom listens to the radio in Spanish, but it’s not the Spanish we speak. The landscape is not scrappy like it is back home in Argentina. Everything is green and pushy here, insisting on itself. It is a place that hasn’t decided if it wants to grow up to be a farm or a strip mall. To our new home in New Jersey, on Eighty-Fifth Street in a small town. I hand the box back.Įverything has been strange in the two weeks since my mom and I got to this new country. Their rattle feels like it comes from far away.

I will link to all these in the transcript because I want you to see both of them. She’s the host of two weekly programs that are amazing: The Simple Show and Women’s Work, which is newer and you’re going to love it. Last year, after about a decade of shepherding The Art of Simple, Tsh exchanged pen for podcast mic. It’s been mentioned everywhere: HGTV, Food Network, CNN, NPR-everywhere, literally. It’s a really, really cool space that she has created and developed. She was using it first to document her cross-cultural adventures, but then it morphed into this amazing community of readers who exchanged all kinds of tips on simplicity, and making margin, and focusing on what matters most. That’s when she founded the website The Art of Simple, which may be how you know her. 10 years ago, she was living in Turkey with her husband and her three-year-old. She’s written Organized Simplicity, Notes from a Blue Bike, and specifically the one we’re going to talk about a lot today is called At Home in the World. We’re kicking off the next series called “For the Love of Summer” and we’ve got all kinds of interesting summer experts talking to us about a variety of things. ![]() It is Jen Hatmaker here, your hostess, and I am tickled about today’s episode, really, and you are going to be too. But she mostly loves talking to amazing people, every week, on this podcast. Welcome to the For the Love Podcast, with your host Jen Hatmaker, my mom. ![]() |
