My book was featured at the “Sad Book” group, but was really a lot of fun with great questions. Happy to come to your book group virtually (or in person if it’s in the Philly area) for an author visit and discussion. Trio House Press Deborah Blumenthal

Fascinating essay about memory.

You Must Remember This - The American Scholar On the nature of autobiographical memory

This. Always this.

Amsterdam was like no place else. ❤️🇳🇱

So fortunate to live in a city with so much culture and art. Calder Gardens with its reflective exterior and beautiful flowers is filled with wonderful sculpture and mobiles. It is a new addition to Philadelphia’s collection of fine art museums.

"The benefit the arts confer on the pace at which people age is so dramatic that it is comparable to the difference between smokers and those who have given up smoking, the researchers say."

Arts and cultural engagement ‘linked to slower pace of biological ageing’ Research from UCL suggests visiting art galleries or museums, singing and painting can help improve health outcomes

I wrote in my memoir how the Flyers taught me how to stand up for myself and be resilient as an adolescent. Tonight we lost our playoff series to the ‘Canes, but there’s no shame in that. We played a good game and learned from our mistakes earlier in the series. We were never expected to get this far, but we have so much potential. This is a team that’s exciting to watch again (fix the damn power play!) I love them. We’ll be back next year and I don’t doubt be even better. This post season was a wonderful gift and I even got to see my first in-person playoff game. The youngsters are phenomenal and I believe we may get a Cup in my lifetime after all (51 years has been a long time to wait!). 🧡🖤🧡🖤 Thank you Philadelphia Flyers Grittynhl

THIS WEDNESDAY!! Radnor Library at 7pm. Would love to see you there!
