Yesterday I had the absolute pleasure of attending my friend Tracie Hanson's book launch party for the release of Her: These Stories Are True...Even If They Aren't. Isn't that a wonderful title? Her is a collection of inspiring short stories about fabulous women that Tracie and her mother, Caroline Bell, collaborated on. Tracie and Caroline are artists who share a studio and both exude the kind of warmth, humor, and charm that make you want to pull up a chair with a cup of tea and sit enraptured for the afternoon. Peering into Tracie's sketchbooks is one of my favorite things (her work adorns the cover) and the briefest encounter with her leaves me inspired.
