Some Good Reads

A few of my longstanding favorite blogs have been kicking it up a notch lately, being so thoughtful and thought-provoking that I'm finding myself bookmarking the individual posts to go back and read again later:

Orangette's Molly Wizenberg on the pain and joy of birthing a creative writing project: In my better moments

Amanda Soule of Soulemama on the courage to say NO to an opportunity: A Squam Story

Catherine Newman (of Babycenter's Ben and Birdy fame, the first bloggy-type thing I ever read regularly) on charitable giving and our compassionate responsibility for serious suffering in the world: We Are the 1%

Just had to share...

xo, Alison

Comments

I'm Alison Marra,

  • painter, writer, crafter, and mother. Welcome to True North, where I share the process of reclaiming my childhood dream to be an artist. Here I document recent projects, celebrate the small beauties of our home life, and offer my thoughts on creative recovery. If you're working on setting your internal compasses to your own creative true north, I hope you will feel at home here. I treasure your comments and have a new policy of trying to answer each one... so don't hesitate to join the conversation! Thanks so much for stopping by.
