The Beckoning of Lovely
I received an email last week with the subject heading “The Beckoning of Lovely”,
but since all of my attention was focused on getting my house in order
between house guests, it was not until today that I was able to
actually read it. Amy Krouse Rosenthal wrote one of my favorite books, Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life,
and she is now in the midst of another extraordinary project. I could
go on and on right now about how much this moved me, inspired me and
touched me, but I would much prefer you spend your time watching the
video and learning how you can become involved in this.

Holiday Extravaganza Announcements:
Yesterday: Christina won the Jonatha Brooke Give Away – Congratulations!!
Today: Leave a comment today to be entered in a drawing for a Hardcover, Limited Edition of Ordinary Sparkling Moments, and that will wrap up the Holiday Extravaganza!
Oh, that was Lovely. I started crying as soon as she put up the yellow umbrella.
Isn’t it amazing? We’re in this crazy, screwed up, disaster of a world, and it’s still full of so many simply Lovely people.
So much joy and love can come from so little if we will only open our hands and hearts. This was a lovely way to start the holiday season.
I want to join Amy’s project after seeing this, and I would absolutely love to have a hardcover copy of your book!!!
