Dear Ones —
A friend of this page named Amanda shared these photos of a cat and dog best friend pair, who live in the same village and are owned by different families, but who meet every day to go for an affectionate walk together.
You people kill me sometimes, with the stuff you send…
Gotta forward this along.
Because:
Can't.
Help.
Myself.
Heart,
Liz
Hello all,
I’m a huge fan of scrapbooking; so, when I discovered Pinterest a few months ago, I dived right in. I even created a board for my upcoming novel, "The Signature of All Things". Follow this link to check it out: https://pinterest.com/lizgilbertpins/signatureofallthings/.
The team at Penguin Group (USA) is hosting an amazing Pinterest contest for book clubs if you’re interested in participating. The rules to enter are simple:
1. Follow Penguin USA’s Pinterest account: https://pinterest.com/penguinbooksusa/
2. Re-Pin this image from their account onto your own flower and dream garden board. You can also pin it from here: https://www.us.penguingroup.com/static/pages/forms/pinterest_rules_gilbert.html?CMP=SMC-APINEG
3. Name your new board #SIGNATUREOFALLTHINGS
4. Submit your entries here: https://penguin.com/GilbertPintoWin
A winner will be selected from these boards. The winning board, and its book club, gets 10 copies of the book and an hour call-in from me to talk about it. Stop by my Pinterest account (link above) if you’re looking for some inspiration. This is going to be loads of fun. Good luck and happy pinning!

Poem of the day: THE SKY GAVE ME ITS HEART
I wanted to wish you all a beautiful (and, if you should happen need it, HEALING) week to come. These are the words of Rabia of Basra — an 8th Century female Islamic saint of the Sufi tradition. I remember leaning hard on this poem back in the bad old days, when times were tough. I hope it brings you all some comfort.
THE SKY GAVE ME ITS HEART
The sky gave me its heart
because it knew mine was not large enough to care
for the earth the way it did.
Why is it we think of God so much?
Why is there so much talk about love?
When an animal is wounded
no one has to tell it, "You need to heal";
so naturally it will nurse itself the best it can.
My eye kept telling me, "Something is missing from
all I see."
So I went in such of the cure.
The cure for it was His Beauty.
The remedy, for me, was to love.
—Rabia of Hasra (translation by Daniel Ladinsky)
