Hi everyone.  Do not fear – Jonathan is not stuck flying solo this year.  I am here!   You may or may not recognize me, but if we take a little trip back in time,  you’ll find that I’ve been here before.  In fact, Jonathan replaced me when life commitments took me away from this blog way back in 2009, and now I’m honored to work with him back in this space that I so adore.  I expect lively conversation and am so excited to dive in!

I can’t wait to talk about, agree about, debate about, discuss, and, dare I say, argue about some inspiring and wonderful books.

My next post will start getting into the topic at hand, but for now I just wanted to let you know that I am here and I am excited and delighted to dive in.   Expect me to get more wordy soon, and in the meantime, feel free to ask me anything!  I might even answer.

Here I am, hanging out with some books in the library in Oakland (CA) where I work.
