I make friends with people on the internet all the time. I’ve been doing it for almost 10 years now. Sometimes I actually meet these people in person (like my friend Jackie in London, England) and sometimes I don’t. Certain people I don’t want to meet but others I definitely do.
Laurie Perry is one of them. She writes a blog that is so wonderful, I can only hope to emulate her one day with my writing. She’s such a gifted writer, she’s actually published a book called: Crazy Aunt Purl's Drunk, Divorced And Covered In Cat Hair: The True-life Misadventures Of A 30-something Who Learned To Knit After He Split.
The cute title belies the content. Laurie went through some “stuff” during her separation and divorce. No matter where you are in your life at the moment, you will relate, in some way, to her personal struggle and the success she has obtained as a result. You can buy it online at Chapters/Indigo.
Or simply do what I did: go to Coles and ask them to order it for you. If we buy enough of these books in Canada, she just might come up here for the book signing trip. (Note to all my American readers -- this book is available at Barnes & Noble and through Amazon.)
If you can’t buy the book, at least check out her blog: Crazy Aunt Purl.
