Happy Birthday! I shall look up Sea Ranch, it sounds like my sort of Happy Place too...although it's kind of far from Switzerland, but maybe next year after my book tour my husband and I can go and flop there - hopefully with my lovely publisher Alisa!
Let's absolutely do a retreat at Sea Ranch next year! It's the most glorious place on earth. What did somebody tell me? That you can feel the whale song vibrating, writing itself up through the water, into the old-growth tree roots, and into the Akashic Records! That is some magic! ✨✨
Happy birthday, friend! I am so thrilled you had this time at Sea Ranch to celebrate and recover after your big summer of such a wondrous, full-flavored life! Nothing was left off the menu this year, from sorrow to sleepaway adventures to tiny Frenchies to chinwags with our fave authors and filmmakers. Celebrating you every day! Huzzah! 🎉💚 PS - That upholstered Anthropologie bed? (bites fist, gasps) It makes a person want to burst into "We Have an Opening for a Princess" 😂 https://open.spotify.com/track/0SNq1BIlhI3Fz5RyQa9WqJ?si=fd1c9bb2873d4a35
Bites fist and gasps!! I am still dreaming about it. And your gorgeous reflection of my year makes me feel like, yes! it was a wondrous, full-flavored life! Here's to a very good second half to 2026, celebrating with you and yours 💚
Let me tell you the way my mouth watered with those food descriptions! Sea Ranch is a dream, I need to book a getaway there asap. Seekers is on my list, it sounds lovely in every way.
And thank you for the libido rec and for not hesitating to mention a thing that I think way more women in their late 30s/40s/motherhood experience but don't talk about...off to add to cart!
In my next life I'm going to come back as Ruth Reichl so I can taste and write about food endlessly. And yes to the libido rec!! It might be entirely in my head, but I'll take it. Inspiring me to do a whole post about it because I have some thoughts. Xx
Happy birthday!! It looks like the loveliest weekend and I'm glad you got the time away. I loved Seekers, too, and you perfectly captured the vibe (as always!)

I touch far from Switzerland but maybe there needs to be an Empress retreat at Sea Ranch!! Wouldn't that be something. xx
I had a look at it and now I really want to go! Maybe I’d even like to live there!
Oh, 100%!! As soon as the kids head off to college, that's where you'll find me.

Thank you, thank you!! Sea Ranch is definitely my happy place. And so funny that we both read Seekers at the same time — gorgeous.
1 You always miraculously read every book that's next on my TBR, and then make it sound even better than I'm anticipating! 2 that's GAP???
Two bodies, one mind!! And seriously, GAP!
Oh, I have the ARC of The Seekers of Deer Creek queued up and now I'm even more excited to read!!
Just gorgeous 💚
The chickpeas are up next for me! Thank you.
You will love them!! Delicious.
