Loved waking up to this surprise! Lovely to get deeper insights into Tsh's writing and teaching - I resonate a lot with her perspectives and teaching approach. Tsh, if you are reading this, you absolutely should plan a pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago for 2025! I walked over 300km twenty years ago, and it changed me profoundly; there is a sacredness about it that I could sense even without being a Christian at the time. Also, save me a seat at that dinner table with my favorite authors :)

The Camino has been on my to-do list for YEARS, Ruth—it's definitely in the works for a future pilgrimage!

Would most definitely try and join! Now that our kids are old enough, we are hoping to maybe make it for 2025 :)

Tsh was one of the first bloggers I followed yeeeears ago. I think I read Blue Bike three times. And her book Living Simply. And she wrote about my family in At Home In the World. We spent 5 weeks in Cambodia, then moved there for 5 years. Tsh, if you’re reading this, HI!!! 🩵🩵🩵

What an insightful interview with Tsh about literature and the writing process. Loved this! I read “At Home in the World” and bought the t-shirt several years ago. Haha! I learned so much from that book. I’m going to read the Blue Bike now. Also the books on the teaching list that I haven’t yet read. I really enjoy A Drink with a friend, too, which I stumbled upon a few months ago. Thanks for sharing with the world!

I started reading Tsh's books and blog years ago. I love her insights into "Simple" living. I only started loving books when I homeschooled my own children (Now in their 30's) and wish Tsh could have taught my high school literature classes! Oh the adventures I would have enjoyed . . . but do now in my 60s. Thanks Tsh, and thanks to Joel Miller for this great interview.

Based on how Tsh describes teaching literature, I wish she were my high-school English teacher too 🤣

I've known about Tsh for years but haven never really read her stuff. I'll definitely have to check out her books this year when I need something delightful to read!
