The audiobook for Envy: Why Wanting What They Have is the Key to Getting What You Want is out! Here’s a preview.

Some behind -the-scene fun facts:

1) I had to audition to narrate my book. I selected a passage with lots of Korean words. 😆

2) There were less than a handful of sentences I read only once. audio and SARound Sound LLC did a marvelous job of directing, producing, and editing me. 🤩

3) My book is full of stories, from interviews but also of embarrassing envy mistakes I made. 🥺 This clip introduces my first emotionally charged memory. Can you guess what emotion I was feeling?

I usually listen to fiction and read nonfiction but most people I meet do the opposite. What do you do?

Hope you’ll check this out and the grab the book!!

It is so very ironic that I am here in Evanston to promote my book on ENVY and it is parents weekend for my alma mater. I admit I’m feeling pangs of (proxy) envy all over again!! (You can read about this in Newsweek.)

But, thanks to what I’ve researched, I am getting over the pangs more quickly. And, excited to share what I’ve learned with everyone here in the Chicago area!!

I’m at Knit 1 Chicago Su 10/25 at 5 pm and at Northwestern University Deering Library Tu 10/27 at 6:30 pm. Please find registration links and details at StacySKim.com/events or links in bio.

I’ll talk about why it is a good thing to talk about envy and what you can do to harness it for good. I can also share examples of how Northwestern Basketball players use their envy to improve their game, Matthew Nicholson and others were kind enough to be interviewed for the book.

Yes, of course, it also helps that my older DD is doing well (Thank goodness she ignored my envy shenanigans and carved her own path), and that my younger DD still cheers for my school despite going to another.

Even if you can’t make it. I hope you’ll buy the book. Iris available wherever books are sold.

“But, if I’ve learned anything from parenting, it matters way more that you’re present than that you’re perfect.” - , Funny Story

On this Mother’s Day, the first without my Mom, this quote seems to take on another meeting.

I wish everyone a love-filled day.

My Little Blue Waves Cowl is one of many WIPs I’ve been neglecting…

This time of year, when we think about improvements we want to make, we tend to add habits and goals when it may be better to subtract.

I was reminded of this when I popped into an estate sale in my apartment building. My younger daughter was searching for kitchen things for her apartment when she moves out of the dorms next year. I wasn’t planning on getting anything.

But, when I saw this set of rose-colored stackable refrigerator boxes, I couldn’t resist, even though I knew there is no extra space in my kitchen cabinets.

But of course I did. I just had to be willing to get rid of stuff. I tossed out least a dozen reusable water bottles and coffee mugs. (We still have a decent supply.)

This made me think about other things I add to my to project list every quarter like organizg old photos or having them and old DVDs converted to digital files. I may decide to never do these things but for now they are definitely off my 2026 list.

So, what might you subtract?

“Science investigates; religion interprets… The two are not rivals. They are complementary. Science keeps religion from sinking into the valley of crippling irrationalism and paralyzing obscurantism. Religion prevents science from falling into the marsh of obsolete materialism and moral nihilism.” - Martin Luther King, Jr., “A Tough Mind and a Tender Heart”

I bought Strength to Love for my Dad but I found the book on my Mother’s bookshelf. During her last days earlier this month I read from it while by her bedside.

My younger daughter had asked me to make sure she saw flowers when she opened her eyes. I got to the Seoul flower market too late but managed to find a poinsettia pop-up!!

(Sorry no knitting notes. I was just not in the mood. 😞 But I recently picked up my needles again, so please stay tuned.)

Doing something hard yet important can feel challenging because our brains can picture the worst based on the past. Meanwhile, we can’t imagine “new and good” possibilities the future can hold.

A couple of weeks ago, my brother and I made an unplanned trip to Seoul. My mom’s health has taken a serious turn. I braced myself for more heartache having watched Alzheimer’s take more and more of her over the past 7 years.

What I couldn’t have imagined was the odd peace and moments of sweetness, like my brother giving our dad a haircut.

The next time you’re facing something hard, something you dread, remember: alongside the difficult, there may be something surprising you couldn’t have imagined. It may not cancel out the bad, but it is good nonetheless.

Has something like this surprised you too? Please share them in the comments. I’d love to hear from you. ❤️

“Nothing in life is as joy producing or as misery inducing as we think it is. appreciating this truth can not only liberate us, empower us, and broaden our horizons, but it can grant us our best opportunity to choose well, to get it right.”

Using leftover angora to make a chain link scarf or cowl. I think I could have planned this a bit better but we’ll see how it goes.
