Loves-
Last week was a super fun & energizing one for me – out of town friends in for a visit, a trip to Sunday morning dance jam with a group of my dear ones, and a lovely conversation about Playing Big, hosted by local journalist Lisen Stromberg, that raised funds for the Journalism & Women Symposium.
I woke up on Wednesday to the surprise that Senator Cory Booker had posted one of my poems on his Facebook page. I have no idea how my work got into his hands, but it was a delight!
Later in the week, goop, Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle publication, published a Q&A article with me about the Playing Big book. I have been reading and enjoying their book features for years, and it was really sweet for me to get to be part of one.
You might have seen from my social media that we also did a live Q&A taking people’s career questions on the goop Facebook page on Friday, and I loved that! 30 minutes of intense, immediate question-answering. Kinda like a coaching lightning round. You can check out the goop article here.
For those local to the San Francisco Bay Area, I want to invite you all to come over to Book Passage in Corte Madera this Thursday, February 5th, at 7pm. I’ll be doing a short talk about the book, Q&A and book signing. I would love the chance to meet you and say hello. Hope to see you there.
Love,
Tara
When are you coming to Portland, OR? It’s not far from San Francisco by plane.
I will be in Santa Rosa next week 9th-12th I would love to get my book signed. I live in VA so don’t know when I would get the opportunity again. Also I bought a book as gift to the host of my next women’s retreat (Sunday-Monday) at Alabama A&M.
Corey Booker is my Congress Crush – how very cool to have your work show up in his feed!
Hi! I’m sorry I missed your q&a on Goop’s FB page, as I discovered you via her interview. I got your book over the weekend, and the big question I have is about the books you mention your parents had around you as you grew up. I have a 10-year-old son, and I am always on the lookout for people who refer to specific elements of their parents’ lifestyle that contributed to who they became. You say so many positive and inspiring things that you attribute to the way they surrounded you with a mix of spirituality and intellectual stimulation, I wonder if you would ever consider publishing some sort of list. Thank you! – Kathryn
