If you’ve stopped by this blog any time in the last 24 hours you’ll have seen the changes. Jo and I have given the site a mini facelift and I’m loving it! Over in the sidebar there’s a few extra bells and whistles, including a search bar (finally!), links to the Polaroid guide and the Aquarian Twins podcast and, more controversially, a photograph of me. This, I must admit, feels a bit weird — I haven’t had my mug on the homepage like this in years, but it’s all part of me embracing my author-y future *gulp*, and while I can’t imagine I’ll ever have a corporate-looking site, I realise that as my name’s on the door it makes sense to have a prominent pic too (shot on Impossible Project film, fact fans :).
However, the biggest change is up there in the header, where we’ve included a sorta-kinda subtitle for the blog, which just so happens to be the subtitle for my book, too. So this is me officially announcing that the name of my book is:
This I Know: Notes on Unraveling the Heart
When the book comes out ‘unraveling’ will have one L and not two, as my publisher is in America, so American-English is the norm. And to my English eyes it looks odd, but then again, it embraces the fact that the community I belong to — here on the blog, on Twitter/Facebook, in my Unravelling classes — is global, so it doesn’t matter whether it’s Unravelling or Unraveling, the truth behind the word is the same.
So there you go — the title.
I’ve been feeling so nervous about sharing it here! It feels so final, so real, so oh-shit-this-is-really-happening. It’s exciting. And really scary, too.
I hope you like it. x

Just beauty full!!! Congrats Susannah!
It’s wonderful Susannah – the blog update and the book title! Oh, I just can’t wait to read it!!! Congratulations! You’re an inspiration! xoxo
All the changes you’ve made to the blog are beautiful! (and are really inspiring me to get my act together and give my blog world a new face!) And I LOVE your book title. I can’t wait to snag a copy and finally meet you at a book signing in CA. :-)
Love it! So excited for you (and us, your readers :) Rock it, sista!
Beautiful! ..in every way xo
As a Commonwealth sister I will miss the second “l” but I’ll be among the first in line to buy your book next spring. The site is lovely and it’s nice to see your gorgeous face up there. xo
It’s perfect! Can not wait to read it! So excited for you Susannah! So much blood sweat and tears. What an accomplishment!
LOVE that title! :)
The blog looks great and I love the book title. I’ve always like your use of “unravelling’ – it always evokes this image of a huge ball of thread, all twisted and tight, unspooling and becoming a million smooth lines of colour. It’s a lovely image, and for me, that’s precisely what it feels like to go from suffering to wellness.
Congrats on all these good changes – I’m very much looking forward to seeing your book on my shelf : )
Christine, i love that description – perfect! x

And I can’t wait to hold a copy in my hands + see the magics with my own two eyes.
So excited for you.
Hi Susannah! Love the new look, your photoo, and the title of your book!! Exciting times ahead! Can’t wait for your book to be released…
I’m SO fricken excited for you Susannah. The site looks hot, which is a good thing because this book is going to be huge. x
Just discovered you but do love the look. Congrats on the book and I look forward to more!
congratulations lovely Susannah – the reason you have to give up the second l in unravelling is because you are officially Lovely Susannah in my head and so the l is required for that title (just thought you would like to know) – new blog look is awesome, of course x
I can’t wait until your book comes out! The site looks grand, and the picture of you is lovely (of course – no worries there).
Looking forwards to the day I become a proud owner of your book ….
?
LOVE it!!! So excited for you (and for me, when I finally get to read your book)!!
I am looking forward to owning your book the mi ute it is available. Congratulations on the new blog loom.
Beautiful! All of it. xoxo

Love the title, love your blog and the new look. Congratulations!
YOU are my heroine.

Seriously though, nobody could have worked harder or been more devoted to their subject matter than you and you deserve all the success I know is waiting for you round the corner.
