ramblings from an arkansas farm girl
I can’t let 2020 completely disappear without providing a list of my favorite reads from the year. I read fifty-five books, and you can see all of my reviews on my Goodreads Challenge HERE (for past years too).
So many books, so little time. I already have a LONG list of want-to-read books for 2021. And the idea that so many fabulous, life-changing stories await, thrills me.
Now, on to my favorite reads of 2020.
I’ve been thinking about my One Little Word for 2021. Last year, I didn’t give much thought to it, and I worry my lack of a real word led to such a crazy 2020. Not that I believe my One Little Word can affect the whole big world. Ha.

2020 may be a go-with-the-flow year for me. I’ll try to be kind, keep a positive attitude, and be open to whatever comes my way. Within reason.
Yikes.
See? I said I would be open to whatever comes my way and, man alive, I was tested big time.
Words = Power. For real, y’all.Continue Reading
Dear Sunday Letter friends,

First things first. I’m happy to report that we received a bonafide snow last week, one that didn’t begin or end with ice. The trees were exceptionally beautiful.
I’m dreaming of another snowfall this winter. After that, I will be watching for my tulips to pop up from the soil.Continue Reading
