Today marks a momentous day! I am finally done with finals, well, I have my last one at 1:30. I've officially "popped"--there is a baby in there! And I've decided, after much contemplation, to close up my Red Otter shop. After three years and nearly 500 books, it's time. I'm ready to give myself the much needed energy, time and space to dream about my next adventure in creativity. I can't tell you how relieving it feels. I'm sure you've been there, too, when something you love needs a long rest. In any case, I'm going to celebrate tonight--dinner out with Andrew and a movie!
XOXO,
Jewels

This is a big deal. Congratulations on entering this new stage!
Just looking back at your blog and found this post. Lovely photos of you and bump - you're blooming! And pleased to hear you're glad about your decision to shut up shop, but thought you'd like to know that the book you sent me is accompanying me through my buddhist psychotherapy training, it's a joy to make notes in. Here's to the next chapter! x
