Thrive Where You’re Planted: A Guided Journal to Help You Connect with the Natural Wonders in Your Neighborhood is a lovely exercise book for those of us who want to become more aware of the natural world around whether … Continue reading Thrive Where You’re Planted by Andrea Debbink →

Happy June, everyone! We’re quickly entering “beach reading” season in the States. Here’s what we’re digging into at the beginning of this month: Lara: I’m having a bit of a tumultuous time of it, so I am comfort reading GA Aiken’s Dragon Kin series. It’s compulsive reading!
