The depth of the sea and the height of the birds’ flight are the only things that give her purpose after enduring a lifetime of loss and grief. She convinces a crusty fisherman to let her hitchhike on his commercial fishing vessel, promising him and his crew that her quest in following the birds will lead them to fish. But along the way, her night terrors, singular focus, and haunted past threaten the safety of the crew and, as stolen from the book blurb, “Franny must ask herself what she is really running toward—and running from.” Franny Lynch’s first true love is the sea, and her story is nested in a story about Arctic terns, who are embarking on what might be their last migration before extinction.

Drink a fun beverage. Eat all the candy. So much candy! Remember that life is meant to be fun. If you have kids, lean into it with them—let them see how much you delight in their joy. If you don’t, sit on your porch or in the street and visit and eat the candy (don’t just give it out!). I’ll be reprising my role as Olaf this year, but costume or no costume, just be part of it all. And then when you go inside to warm up (or cool off, depending on your weather) and re-engage with a device, maybe, just maybe, you could hop online and order yourself a book. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c800d1a8cacf4efe3449ae/9554dc78-e083-4d3b-9a38-830a5106b992/Skelly+cropped.jpeg Eliciting Esperance: Notes on Living - Eat some candy…buy some books - Make it stand out Our actual 12-foot-skeleton…waving a pirate flag https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c800d1a8cacf4efe3449ae/a2b2af41-647d-49ff-bd71-837b347c1583/Bookmiser.jpeg Eliciting Esperance: Notes on Living - Eat some candy…buy some books - Store website: https://www.bookmiser.net/ Link to order (they’ll ship anywhere!): https://bookshop.org/shop/bookmiser Or if you prefer audio books: https://libro.fm/bookmiser https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c800d1a8cacf4efe3449ae/1761841348062-Y4Y9BD0EVQ5VE0P0BJ2G/Write+Through+It.jpeg Eliciting Esperance: Notes on Living - Eat some candy…buy some books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c800d1a8cacf4efe3449ae/1761841346500-DBFC0R1DK30DCGPPQTNY/Wedding+People+2.jpeg Eliciting Esperance: Notes on Living - Eat some candy…buy some books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c800d1a8cacf4efe3449ae/1761841541016-0BYK3OT65TXF3CDAEHDZ/IMG_5050.PNG Eliciting Esperance: Notes on Living - Eat some candy…buy some books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c800d1a8cacf4efe3449ae/1761841545220-4YOGMMH4KAOBXLLKW87K/IMG_9074.PNG Eliciting Esperance: Notes on Living - Eat some candy…buy some books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c800d1a8cacf4efe3449ae/1761842218593-EHXB21U7122H6YBBCLWN/IMG_2688.PNG Eliciting Esperance: Notes on Living - Eat some candy…buy some books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c800d1a8cacf4efe3449ae/1761842218082-W0JENQ02CQIJCGE3UVJG/Flying+Monkeys.JPG Eliciting Esperance: Notes on Living - Eat some candy…buy some books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c800d1a8cacf4efe3449ae/d710f70e-50cd-41ad-8295-ca98a907eb4f/Signature+Resized.png Eliciting Esperance: Notes on Living - Eat some candy…buy some books - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.sarahberke.com/essays/the-bossy-dreamer monthly 0.5 2025-08-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c800d1a8cacf4efe3449ae/bb36b249-e6ee-469b-8fa4-2ce9896600cc/The+Pivot+Year Eliciting Esperance: Notes on Living - The bossy dreamer.

First, a disclaimer: although some of the things that are dragging me down are related to politics/the current government/the state of *gestures vaguely*, I'm not writing about politics or governance in this essay. There are people who read these and support me who I like and respect and with whom I don’t agree politically, and my goal isn’t to drive anyone away. It isn’t even, really, to change anyone’s mind usually, it’s to encourage people to think outside of their norm, to broaden their horizons just a bit. But none of that is on the agenda for today. It might be someday, and if so, I’ll disclaimer that baby. But today what I want to talk about is coping. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c800d1a8cacf4efe3449ae/1743958737630-OH6G8B959GPGNX4EI18O/1+-+We+Solve+Murders.jpeg Eliciting Esperance: Notes on Living - How to stay hopeful when things feel hopeless. - We Solve Murders https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c800d1a8cacf4efe3449ae/1743958737792-5RIUPXS8CG3OVG5H2RSM/2+-+How+to+Make+Friends+With+the+Dark.jpeg Eliciting Esperance: Notes on Living - How to stay hopeful when things feel hopeless. - How to Make Friends With the Dark https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c800d1a8cacf4efe3449ae/1743958738390-MALCVWDS0T3TCO16OAUR/3+-+Sunshine+Girl.jpeg Eliciting Esperance: Notes on Living - How to stay hopeful when things feel hopeless. - Sunshine Girl https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c800d1a8cacf4efe3449ae/1743958738691-WS0UGZ3YIN8CZ48B95ZE/4+-+Southern+By+Design.jpeg Eliciting Esperance: Notes on Living - How to stay hopeful when things feel hopeless. - Southern by Design https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c800d1a8cacf4efe3449ae/1743958739053-303YSVCT0M43SKBIYBMO/5+-+Why+Has+Nobody+Told+Me+This+Before%3F.jpeg Eliciting Esperance: Notes on Living - How to stay hopeful when things feel hopeless. - Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c800d1a8cacf4efe3449ae/1743958947425-P5G1H0A92GX71GBOXHJL/IMG_2609.JPG Eliciting Esperance: Notes on Living - How to stay hopeful when things feel hopeless. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c800d1a8cacf4efe3449ae/1743958948523-O76EX37JUYJPWGXAH1UK/IMG_6161.JPG Eliciting Esperance: Notes on Living - How to stay hopeful when things feel hopeless. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c800d1a8cacf4efe3449ae/1743958953545-K26TVLIQS3GX1FX1EM4F/Screenshot+2024-12-23+at+8.42.14%E2%80%AFAM.jpeg.png Eliciting Esperance: Notes on Living - How to stay hopeful when things feel hopeless. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c800d1a8cacf4efe3449ae/1743958957472-GT15GHB8SPPM8JRBQVYQ/IMG_3163.PNG Eliciting Esperance: Notes on Living - How to stay hopeful when things feel hopeless. https://www.sarahberke.com/essays/hurry-up-and-wait monthly 0.5 2025-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c800d1a8cacf4efe3449ae/ad3e3b55-ca9b-49e3-82c3-8e4a91bbc362/Snow+on+camilla Eliciting Esperance: Notes on Living - Hurry up and wait. Hello, and congratulations on surviving the second longest January in recent history. From what I understand each person’s was a different length, but pretty much everyone I know surpassed almost every prior record (exception: January 2021). Mine clocked in at 948 days! Wow! There were some good things about January (I’m looking at you, snow in the south), but on the whole, January was a trying month for a lot of people. And it hit me one day that we were all pretty much just waiting for it to be over, hoping February would bring something new. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c800d1a8cacf4efe3449ae/1738890954624-A5UL9HKOBL4UALCH4JW6/Pivot+Year.jpg Eliciting Esperance: Notes on Living -
