Just finished my newsletter on TEXAS Women's Suffrage, two years before the nation. Want to know more? Go to carmengoldthwaite.com and click on the Free Newsletter button. It's the lead article.

Thomas Aquinas defined greed as “a quest for the infinite.” Matthew Fox wrote: “creativity…the authentic experience of the infinite.” Discovered these messages while reading for a dolphin-themed spiritual allegory regarding greed that I’m writing.

Heard around Writing Circle: A member announced her trip to Africa. Someone else chimed in about Jodi Picoult's book about elephants. Memories spun out about Queen Tut, the mama elephant who reigned from 1920's to 1964 at Forest Park Zoo. @TCU @FortWorthZoo

I'm excited. Our summer session of Writers' Circles kicks off tomorrow. Another Aug 8. Do writing and sharing in small groups of various styles appeal? Check us out at carmengoldthwaite.com or email, carmen@carmengoldthwaite.com. We'll be talking about developing Author Voice.

@mjfree YOU BET1111

Drop a 💙 if you will vote for kamala Harris for president I want to be following you

We finished up "Midsummer Memoir Workshop" Saturday with a strong "gaggle" of gals mining their histories for the story or stories to write, theirs or their family's. I loved the eagerness they followed some goofy exercises, but doing it eagerly and experiencing the results.

@JoeBiden I love your support of your VP. Thanks for boosting her into that role and now beyond.

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

@startelegram So very true. I am grateful for all he's done, taking the lead on issues before they're considered popular! Thanks!

No matter how you feel about Joe Biden, he deserves our thanks | Opinion star-telegram.com/opinion/articl…

@CalltoActivism Go girl go! You're the kind of woman I write about...women back in the day and in Texas, I have to say. I'm thrilled for you, me and the country!

What’s one thing you’d like to tell Vice President Kamala Harris?

Heard around our @WritingCircles: "The law of the universe is 'thought first and then expression.' Never the reverse., Metaphysics writer @Emmet Fox said. Good advice for those attending MidSummer Memoir Workshop Saturday. @writers, @teachers, @political @authors @Aentertainers

@LISAMW979 Nope, Lisa. You can count me in on that! Glad to know there's another.

I can’t be the only person who has never owned a pair of Crocs, right?

Oh, just musing about some quotations I've found while preparing for my MidSummer Memoir Workshop July 20. This quotation is so key: "Believe you have something to say." Don't we really need to start there? Info on the zoom workshop is at carmengoldthwaite.com Check it out.

Excited about the MIDSUMMER MEMOIR workshop I'll be teaching. Jotting down memories, finding a path to follow, looking for the nuances. We'll do all that and more Saturday, July 20 10 am. Do join. It's fun. More at carmengoldthwaite.com/teacher

A nifty quote from Ernest Hemingway: “There is no friend as loyal as a book.” If he hadn't used the word "loyal" I'd quibble with that sentiment. Loyalty conjures up an "always there" image for me and people just can't do that aways. Hmmm. And yet, books are great companions.

As a writing teacher, let me share one of my favorite quotes: ¨ “No one can expect to write well who will not first take the risk of writing badly.” Phillip Lopate
