I so enjoyed reading this! My introduction to Pam came first via Cowboys are my Weakness because that read true for me as well. Since then I've followed her, looking over her shoulder as she shares her life so intimately. I admire you and Pam so much and consider you as mentors in both my writing and life. Thank you for all you do!
Oh I loved this. Pam’s book Cowboys are My Weakness was instrumental in my life (raft and climbing guides were my weaknesses) love her and can’t wait to see her in @Jackson Hole next week. Love your writing too … you have both been great role models.
When I start to feel overwhelmed by the state of the natural world or the state of our current political climate, Pam's writing lifts me back up, and I remember that it IS possible to deeply love a world in peril and to continue to find beauty and meaning all around me. Thank you for this powerful interview!
Not only did I enjoy Pam's "Five Things", but that picture of you two brings back wonderful memories, because I was there (taking your class at the Writer's Conference)! I have another great pic from that night of you, Pam and Erin(?), out on the deck at Siren's. Your talents and generous hearts are a continuing inspiration.
I love when I pause and take time to read a post and am gratified with good, lively writing and introduction to a must-read author. There are so any of then I get overwhelmed, but this time can add one more author to my must-read stack. Glad to meet you, Pam Houston.
Trust the metaphor, trust the signs from the universe… this helps me. Thank you.
I could not love this more.
Thank you both for opening my heart tonight.

Same! Still love that story. Incredible what she does with the 2nd person voice.

Fascinating!
I love this interview! It’s so wise. And I can’t wait to read Pam’s new book!
I feel like I read this before. Have you featured her? Maybe someone else did…
She is a wonderful soul.
It’s first appearance in this newsletter!
Thank you so much for this. This was just what I needed today.
I went to order the book and the code doesn’t work. Just FYI
I will still be ordering it nonetheless. Thank you.
Oh no! Thanks for letting me know. I’ll tell Pam.
😊
Pam said it should be working now! Maybe contact them & get your discount applied retroactively?
Thanks. I’ll see what happens!
Beautiful. Thank you!
“Trust the metaphor, it knows more than you do.” Yes! Thank you, Pam. Thank you, Cheryl.
