Those photos caused a deep emotional reaction in my chest that poured out my eyes. I don’t yet understand the physical response, but I’m very grateful to you for sharing.

It makes my heart happy to know that there are several more volumes in store from EML. The Reprobates Ten remind me of my law school friends.

You must have had a fabulous group at law school! So many more volumes of Emma. Daunting and delightful.

I love the Reprobates so much that my secret wish is that after Emma M Lion there is a series called The Last Reprobate -- each book about a different reprobate finding love and fulfillment

Haha. I know a great deal about each of them outside their Reprobate Status.

I love the banner and dingbats. I also feel much the same way about February, excepting my anniversary, which is a light in an otherwise dreary month.

That's a nice bright spot to have in the month!

Thanks for sharing your “February survival guide.” I’ve often wished that Christmas came a month or two later, to brighten more of the dreary darkness of winter.

I’m going now to eat breakfast by candlelight! 🕯️😊
