Lynn Love Thinks: Ari's mom's new blog!

By Ari | Oct 21, 08 09:52 AM

My mom, Lynn, is a pretty cool lady - she's traveled the country selling her own handcrafted jewelry and watercolor paintings, lived on a commune, built and lived in a rural homestead, lived it large in Miami and Provincetown, had three children (one of whom, my late older brother, was lost to heroin addiction and alcoholism), and most recently, has gone independent and begun making a living selling vintage clothing on eBay and in her own fledgling shop, Vintage Lucy.

She's an awesome mom because she always treated us kids as her equals, allowing us room to grow into our own people. I've always thought of her as one of my best friends; she's someone I can learn from and who is willing to learn in turn. Now I'm happy to call her a fellow blogger! She's just begun her own blog, Lynn Love Thinks, where she's writing about the books she reads, progressive politics and social change, art and craft and collecting, and spirituality.

Fun fact: The name of the blog uses her middle name rather than her last name. "Love" was her mother's middle name, and Mary gave it to Lynn, and Lynn gave it to me. It's not a hippie thing (though my mom was a hippie!), but an old Swedish thing, I guess.

Check it out and comment on a post to give her some encouragement - she's new to blogging and I want to keep her at it!
