I loved the last comment ! I too am a homebody and catch alot of grief from my friends ( " why don't you want to travel ? Why don't you ....?). Molly captured exactly how I feel in this regard. I'm newly retired and just want to live in my everyday life.
The highlight for me of this interview was the praise and gratitude Molly gave to her mother for moving to be nearby. Grandparents being close by can be a great boon to all three generations.
So delighted to see one of my favorite authors alongside my favorite author/interviewer! Molly, my copy of A Homemade Life is dog-eared as hell, covered in stains, with tons of loose pages trying to escape. Jimmy’s Big Pink Cookies have been a staple in our house for well over a decade of celebrations, right alongside the no-excuses-required average day. I’m halfway through The Fixed Stars and am loving getting to know you more through it. Thanks for all of it, Molly. ❤️
This was a lovely read from start to finish! As a 72 yr old grandma who left NY and moved to Portland, OR to be near my son and grandsons, I was teary eyed reading about your wonderful Mom. My days with my family are the best very good ordinary loving days I could ever have dreamed of! 🥰🥰. Generosity sure does lead to abundance!
O goodness, the part about your mom made me weepy. So beautiful. I love this interview and could feel the wind on your bike with the wadded up sweatshirt. What a great description 🚲 📚✨ Thanks for sharing, Molly and Jane! 💓
a very good ordinary every day- I didn't know that was my goal until I saw this written down. YES. This is exactly the life I strive for every day. Thank you so much Molly!
"But I have worked hard, and continue to work hard, to make choices that align with this kind of life, a very good ordinary every day."
Yes. That's my bucket list, right there.
This is such a great series.
My bucket list, as well!! I am so glad you’re enjoying the series, John. 🌸
The sublime is mundane’s BFF
I love this idea.
Thanks, John!

Oooh, that's lovely! I completely understand!
