So look, I came here to run it. Just cause nobody's done it. Y'all don't think I can run it. But look, I been here, I done it. Impossible? Please. Watch, I do it with ease. You just gotta believe. Come uh, come uh with me Oh, what's a girl to do? What, what? Hey, what's a girl to do? What, what? Oh, what's a girl to do? What, what? Mmm, what's a girl to do? Just like fire, burning up the way. If I could light the world up for just one day. Watch this madness, colorful charade. No one can be just like me any way. Just like fire, burning up the way. If I could light the world up for just one day. Watch this madness, colorful charade. No one can be just like me any way. Just like magic, I'll be flying free. I'mma disappear when they come for me. I kick that ceiling, what you gonna say? No one can be just like me anyway. Just like fire, fire. Run it, run it, run it. Just like fire. Run it, run it, run it.

Have you had a dream 💭come true? Was it a good dream, I hope? This week something amazing happened. ☎️ I called Rick Simonson at the Elliott Bay Book Company on Seattle’s Capitol Hill. 😯 I hesitated to reach out because it had been years since we last spoke. But I called & introduced myself & he remembered me. I told him I’d written a book ✍️ & asked if it would be OK to bring him a copy? Elliott Bay is Seattle’s crown jewel 👑 of independent bookstores & I first met Rick there in the ‘70s. He’s been with EB for 45+ years & is the principal book buyer,📗📘📙 but he’s much, much more. He nurtured its literary series 🗣️ to become the most influential in the world 🏆 & has been credited for growing Seattle’s reputation as one of the best book cities in the US. 🇺🇸 Rick is a literary evangelist & discoverer of powerful, impactful & beautifully written books. 📚 He shared his excitement about his annual trip to the Jaipur Literature Festival 🇮🇳 #JLF, where he’s a well-known figure. His reputation extends across continents & time zones. 🌍🌏🌎 So why did he agree to place an order for #Blogging on Instagram? 📖 He admitted it’s outside his normal orbit, 🪐 but I believe he wanted to help me. And I am so grateful! 🙏🥰 If you’re in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, stop in & browse. 🔍You’ll find treasures curated by Rick, @bookmonger_seattle & EB staff members. They share great recommendations based on human intelligence, not algorithms. 🧠 As you guys know, I’m big on ((HUGS)) & when it came to Rick, there were plenty delivered in person. 🤗 When you can gather the courage to ask,❓sometimes the response is rewarding. Have you asked for something & been surprised by a positive outcome? 🙌 I hope so. Please share! . . . There’s a link in my bio to the Elliot Bay website. I hope you’ll support me & @elliottbaybookco. Also, if you’re in the #WestSeattleJunction in #WestSeattle, @PegasusBookExchange has 3 copies! . . .
