@aimeenez There is something fearless about my husband. Like father like… son also grew up surrounded by this. #MinneapolisTSTheErasTour Hangover! I hope someone can get you to a show @aimeenez!

[Kara Douglass Thom @KaraDThom]

Could it be that @aimeenez includes the @taylorswift13 Eras tour in Vol 2 of #WorldOfWonders? Only if someone gets her into a show! Come on @taylornation13 help a poet out! #whoistaylorswiftanyway #whoisaimeenezanyway

Two ways to improve our lives:
1. Keep trying to improve our lives.
2. LEARN TO NOTICE WHAT’S ALREADY AMAZING ABOUT OUR LIVES.
Please don't miss today’s conversation. Ross Gay is teaching us how to notice delight & joy in our everyday lives. Listen at https://t.co/YjmrAiC3he.

[Kara Douglass Thom @KaraDThom]

When my son and I picked up my daughter after her first year at IU the only other thing I wanted to do was stroll through the Bloomington Community Garden. Ross Gay wasn’t there but what a delight to hear him on We Can Do Hard Things today.

@AbbyWambach @GlennonDoyle Listened to this episode yesterday and at the end of the fist question Glennon rants about sports being--all the time for ever and ever--and if you're not listening closely you might miss Abby whisper, "Thank God." #TeamAbby @gogosportsgirls

I meant to return to twitter to reconnect with the writing world but all I want to do is show off my kids. This is not productive for any of us but I'm so dang proud of her.

The stereotypes persist @SportShelly @SportyGirlBooks @WomensSportsFdn @TuckerCenter

[Jodi Bondi Norgaard | Keynote Speaker, Author @jodinorgaard]

1/2 Today, a publisher told me regarding the Go! Go! Sports Girls books, "Generally, kids who are active, don't read. Kids playing sports aren't readers." How ridiculous! This is 100% false! ACTIVE/SPORTY KIDS READ! This is what I am up against not only in the publishing world...

[Kara Douglass Thom @KaraDThom]

@anwperkins yes! Thought that was a DM:-)

[Kara Douglass Thom @KaraDThom]

You bet!! I need a good book:-)

[Kara Douglass Thom @KaraDThom]

Yes! More sports stories with girls as main characters! (Boys can read too!!)

[Julianna @JuliannaHelt]

Softball brings up too many painful memories for Emily. It was the game her dad taught her and now he’s gone. Will she be able to overcome her grief and play in a new town or will a bully push her off the field again? A sports story for girls! #pitmad #mg
