About me"This nice and subtle happiness of reading, this joy not chilled by age, this polite and unpunished vice, this selfish, serene life-long intoxication." ~Logan Pearsall Smith
I have had a love affair with books and reading since I was a small girl. I remember my third grade teacher telling my mother during conference about his seeing me walking home from school "weaving like a drunkard" because I had my nose buried in a book as I walked along.
Not only do I love to read, but I love books themselves; I love the feel and heft of them and the promise of what waits right below the cover. I love gilded pages and beautiful end-papers and tooled leather bindings.
About my libraryMy library is varied, a little bit of every thing and alot of what my passions are; all things medieval, childrens books, Christianity and travel.

After A While You Learn....
the subtle difference between holding a hand,
and chaining a soul.
And You Learn...
that love doesn't mean leaning
and company doesn't mean security.
And You Begin To Learn...
that kisses aren't contracts
and presents aren't promises.
And you begin to accept your defeats
with your head up and your eyes ahead,
with the grace of a woman,
not the grief of a child.
And you learn to build all your roads on today
because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans
and futures have a way of falling down
in mid-flight.
After A While You Learn...
That even sunshine burns if you ask too much.
So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And You Learn...
that you really can endure
that you really are strong
and you really do have worth.
And You Learn...
And You Learn...
With every goodbye, you learn.
