Island Girl Jules Meets Author Kristin Harmel

Today I’ve got a special guest to feature on my Bookstagram - my mom island_girl_jules.

Mom is currently down in South Carolina at her second home on Fripp Island (or first home depending on when you ask her) and was able to snag a ticket to meet Kristin Harmel at The Pat Conroy Literary Center (Conroy, now deceased, was a resident of Fripp Island for many years).

Mom had this to say about the event: “What a fabulous day hearing Kristin Harmel speak. She talked about her research process and writing process for her newest book written during Covid. Really a fabulous afternoon.” She also called Harmel “cute as a button” - but let us focus on her literary prowess MOM.

I’ve read Harmel’s newest book (scroll back a few posts for my review) and I can’t wait to hear my mom’s thoughts about it when I go to visit her next week (traveling with my husband and ten week old - send any tips, haha!). So jealous she now has an autographed copy!

Have you had the pleasure of meeting any authors whose books you enjoy?

Had our eye on a big tiger, but this bull beat everybody to the scene. Nice job by this Tennessee crew! .

The dense blanket of fatigue has been thrown back over me. ⁣
⁣
The months since our RV trip ended last October has been extremely difficult, as I`ve battled to heal from long term tick bite bacteria, food intolerances, and what I think has been adrenal fatigue.⁣
⁣
We`ll just call that one, "that hideous thing that makes you feel every day like you`re hung over, pregnant, and just got off a 24 hour non-stop flight."⁣
⁣
The energy and stress of the past few months has not helped. ⁣
⁣
I was feeling really good for a few weeks, but the crash has come. ⁣
⁣
Good thing is, I`ve learned a lot about how to treat it so I know what to do to get back on track. ⁣
⁣
🎤 We`re considering chatting about all of this on a podcast. Travel has it`s negatives, and one of those is the impact it can have on your health.⁣
⁣
We can share our challenges, but also what we`ve learned in the process to put yourself in the best position for strength and endurance AND ways to recover. ⁣
⁣
We`re thinking of bringing on one of our healers we`ve been working with the past few months. She`s amazing and has so many insights into taking care of yourself in easy and natural ways. ⁣
⁣
🎤 What questions do you have for her and for us? What would you like us to share on the podcast? 🎤 ⁣

Frolicking on Fripp ❤️🦌

It’s a beautiful #Easter morning on #frippisland and the crowd this year for Easter service is absolutely enormous. 😍😍😍 ...

As we’re heading in to June, nothing sounds more appealing right now than sitting near the water so I can dip my toes in. So this cover is really speaking to me right now. What’s your preference—pool, lake or the ocean? I’d take any of the above right now. 💦

Fripp Island is the perfect vacation destination for the wealthy Daly family: Scott, Lisa and their two daughters. But the house they’ve booked is large and they invite Lisa’s childhood friend, Poppy, and her working class family to join them. Their son is about to head to college and they’ve never been able to afford a destination vacation. But it seems that everyone has a secret.
This book had everything. Mystery, family drama, and a good beach read. It was a slow burn that quietly dealt with class and societal mores while building the drama. It’s a riveting read with characters that I actually cared about. I loved that I could feel the humid early morning runs and the sand on the beach through the atmospheric writing. I still had some questions in the end, and I think that makes the climax discussion worthy. I passed this on to my sister and I can’t wait for her to finish so we can talk about it.

✨ Don`t assume things. ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How many times do we just assume without asking questions and finding truth? How many times has it caused you trouble, failure, or made you miss out on something?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🏡⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We learned this recently during this process of buying a house. We just assumed because of COVID greatly impacting our business we wouldn`t be able to get a mortgage. So we didn`t ask.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🏡⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Months later, we decided why don`t we just ask and see? Turns out we had held up better than we thought, and we got an immediate, "yes"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍌⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If only we didn`t assume, we would have dived in months ago before this market went bananas and prices skyrocketed.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Assuming can be very costly to more than just your finances in life: relationships, health, careers, sense of peace. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❓⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don`t be afraid to just ask. It`s so much better to get the truth rather than what you think is true - often we just don`t have enough intel to know any better AND our emotions can get in the way of the truth as well. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🏡⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are sharing more specifics of our house hunting journey over on thisisraleigh⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I`ll be sharing more on here too. Let me know what you`d like to know!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
