134 - Big Magic Attic

Greetings, Queens! Alexis and Mary are recording remotely, while Lexy is driving, so the sound quality is not the greatest. Thanks for bearing with us!

 

Mary talks about her trip to Denver, and about a book with a very interesting premise: The Husbands by Holly Gramazio. She also talks more about Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert. As always, here are all of our book recommendations here on Amazon. Mary listens to most of her audiobooks on Libby, but the audio versions of these books are available everywhere as well.

 

Alexis might need to write a book about a “Magic Addict,” who misinterprets your wishes and gives you random things . . . which sounds a little like Beetlejuice, but has the potential to be really funny as well. Now, if Mary could stop saying “Magic Addict’ instead of “Magic Attic,” that would be helpful.

 

We talk about the “Man in the Arena” quote from Theodore Roosevelt. You can read it in its entirety here. We also talk about guilt and how we use it to justify taking care of ourselves or not.
