Thank you @readingladies_book_club ・・・ Memoirs always intrigue me! Thank you to @lisa_kusel for sending me her memoir in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. 📚 “Eat, Love, Pray” gone wrong...📚...The grass is always greener... 📚... no matter where you go, there you are...📚...Privilege... 📚 These were my thoughts as I read “Rash: A Memoir” by Lisa Kusel. 📚 In the midst of living a comfortable life in California, Lisa Kusel encourages her husband to consider a teaching position in Bali. In six weeks, the family makes a “rash” and radical move to “paradise.” Looking for happiness and inspiration for her writing, all Lisa finds in Bali are challenges that threaten her peace of mind, her marriage, her husband’s professional happiness, and her daughter’s safety. Throughout her candid, engaging, and well-told memoir, Lisa explores the difficulties of relocation and assimilation and the pursuit of happiness. Adding to the pressure, Lisa’s husband’s position as a teacher in a start up international school is not all that had been promised. Will Lisa find happiness? 📚 Recommended for readers who appreciate candid, reflective writing exploring themes of happiness and cultural differences, for expats (especially those who have lived or traveled in Bali, and for readers who love well written, engaging memoirs. ****language**** 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ For the full review visit my blog (direct link in profile).

#radish #garlic and #blackpepper #pickles. Throw them in a jar. Add 1/2 tsp of kosher salt and 1/2 tsp of sugar. Top with white vinegar. Shake. Refrigerate. Shake once/day for 3 days and then they’re ready to munch.

“The Wanting Sun and The Blue Water Tower” Captures perfectly my #mood as of late.
