Great perspective for the start of a new year from writer Anne Lamott: "Oh my God, what if you wake up some day, and you’re 65, or 75, and you never got your memoir or novel written; or you didn’t go swimming in warm pools and oceans all those years because your thighs were jiggly and you had a nice big comfortable tummy; or you were just so strung out on perfectionism and people-pleasing that you forgot to have a big juicy creative life, of imagination and radical silliness and staring off into space like when you were a kid? It’s going to break your heart. Don’t let this happen."

This quote comes from Anne Lamott's book, "Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life" at http://amzn.to/1nbPyzv

Anne Lamott is also the author of the inspiring book about restoring hope and joy in our lives, "Dusk, Night, Dawn: On Revival and Courage," at https://amzn.to/3sTmCaJ

The trailblazing American journalist Nellie Bly began her record-breaking 72-day journey around the world on this day in 1889 -- a trip which made her the first person to ever complete the fictional journey depicted in Jules Verne's "Around the World in Eighty Days"! A minimalist traveler, the 24-year-old Pittsburgh native brought with her only the dress she was wearing, a sturdy overcoat, a wool cap, a few changes of underwear, and a small handbag with her toiletries and writing supplies. She started the 24,899-mile journey from a port near New York City and traveled by steamship to England. From there, she traveled by train across Europe and Asia, by ocean liner across the Pacific Ocean, and by train from San Francisco back to New York. In total, her journey lasted 72 days, six hours, eleven minutes, and fourteen seconds, setting a new world record for fastest circumnavigation.

Bly, one of the earliest muckraking journalists, was also famous for her undercover investigative reports on corruption and social injustices. The year before her famous journey, Bly took an undercover assignment for the New York World where she feigned insanity to get herself committed to the New York City Lunatic Asylum on Blackwell's Island. Her work pioneered the realm of undercover journalism after she wrote an exposé on the horrific conditions and mistreatment of patients she found there. Bly's series of articles led to a grand jury investigation and, subsequently, to improved care for the patients and increased funding for the care of people with mental illness.

Nellie Bly told the story of her historic journey in her book "Around the World in Seventy-Two Days and Other Writings" at https://www.amightygirl.com/around-world-seventy-two

For an inspiring new picture book about her journey around the world, we highly recommend "Nellie vs. Elizabeth: Two Daredevil Journalists' Breakneck Race around the World" for ages 6 to 9 at https://www.amightygirl.com/nellie-vs-elizabeth

For an excellent book for adult readers about Bly's journey, we recommend "Eighty Days: Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland's History-Making Race Around the World" at https://www.amightygirl.com/eighty-days

For more books for kids about this pioneering journalist, check out the chapter book "She Persisted: Nellie Bly" for ages 6 to 9 (https://www.amightygirl.com/she-persisted-nellie-bly) and "Who Was Nellie Bly?" for ages 8 to 12 (https://www.amightygirl.com/who-was-nellie-bly)
