Never thought I'd be so happy to hear Wyll say these two silly words

[Wyll: Well met.]

Talindra is pretty happy about it too

I’ve been burning my way through this series on audio, and I’m OBSESSED ✨

read in 2023: well met by jen deluca

As your hands are bound together now, so your lives and spirits are joined in a union of love and trust. Above you are the stars and below you is the earth. Like the stars, your love should be a constant source of light, and like the earth, a firm foundation from which to grow.

Wanted to try and make an alternative cover for one of my favorite book series. I’m not sure if this feels finished but I really like the stage it’s at nevertheless.

Hey friend i got this question. Have you ever read pinocchio: vampire slayer and watched pinocchio 3000 k? Both of them are really good😁 and i love them💖💖💖

Hi! I've read PVS a couple years ago and I liked it IMMENSELY - even bought myself a physical copy so I could support the authors 💞 Pinocchio 3000 is still in my to watch list, though. I think I need the right amount of courage to watch it LMAO

I've been getting into nail polish a lot lately thanks to my suddenly breaking a nail biting habit of 20+ years (yup) and I couldn't help but notice how well this shade matches the cover of Well Met by Jen DeLuca.

(Nail polish is Pound the Pave-mint from Sally Hansen X-treme Wear)

“I mean it in the way that resonates

For me,

I mean it in the way that

I feel love knowing

That there is a God who loved us all so much

That they put a little piece of themselves into

Creation.

or maybe this is the sort of

Chicken and egg situation.

Is God all of us sitting in the Mandelbrot in meditation.

All of us a fractal of the experience?

All of us thinking and feeling ourselves in meditation

Piecing the All together ?

While our hearts beat and beat and beat

Moving through each feeling .

Each lesson?

If I were to give an apology it would be like this:

You are enough.

Will forever be enough.

Any attempt to subtract from you

still results in you being wholly and fully and completely enough.

When things are added to you.

It emphasizes how infinite you are.

Because nothing can affect the whole

That you are.

What’s taken

what’s added

is an illusion of other

Yet still it comes from you

And also

Resides in you

When someone

or

something tries to trick you

that somehow they can degrade you

Your enough-ness, your wholeness…

The one sitting in meditation says

“It is a false belief system that

Got programmed into you.

imposed upon you….

But also I see the value in a lesson”

Because again.

You are,

the manifestation of God

in a human body.

Each and every one and thing of us.

God’s creation

in meditation

An acknowledgement that

you are.

And thus, forever will be

infinitely

Whole.

I see God in you

And I hate fighting

I’m disconnected enough -

Can we continue loving each other now?”

This is my first Jen DeLuca novel and I really enjoyed it! It scratched an itch I didn’t know I had. It’s got the Hallmark small-town vibes, the Lizzie/Mr. Darcy conflict, it’s got some spice, I liked the banter, and found myself giggling or grinning like a school girl sometimes😅

Emily’s internal conflict about not feeling like she was enough hit a little too close to home….but I found myself cheering her on when she stood up for herself and learned to lean on her friends and family in her worst moments. Honestly, Emily and I had way too much in common and it’s nice to see a character I can really relate to and feel for. I just wanted to give her a hug🫂

“Well Met” is a great comfort, feel-good read if you’re looking for something that’s light on the conflict and heavy on the character plot/growth. Honestly, had few complaints and gave it a 5⭐️. Solid read👍

I started reading Well Met by Jen DeLuca last night, and only got a few chapters in. But fuck me, it has me in a vice grip of emotions.

I don't even care that much about the romance (although finding love at a ren faire is the dream tbh) because of everything else I'm feeling. In many ways, Emily Parker is me:

a somewhat strained by time/distance relationship with her older sister, but Emily is still willing to drop absolutely everything for her in a time of crisis

Putting her family's needs and wants above her own

a teenaged niece and a relationship with her that, because of an age difference of only about 10 years, is an odd cross between friend and "Adult in Charge"

Finding friendship that feels like family and a place that feels like Home in the faire that she joined on a whim (or rather because said niece wanted to do it and needed an adult to join with her)

And it is quickly obvious that the author, like the show runners of "American Princess" and very unlike many 'renaissance faire episodes' of shows, has not only been to faires but has worked and lived them. The behind the scenes culture of and propensity for half-garbing and faire names is Spot On.
