One of the themes of The Memory Collectors<\/a> is our relationship to physical objects \u2014 the memories, emotions, and power they hold for us. Every week leading up to the book\u2019s release, I\u2019ll share the story of an object that\u2019s special to me.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This mug was handmade in Haida Gwaii and sent to me by a friend who was living there at the time. I did the math and that had to be over twenty years ago, which is, um, a bit mind-boggling. It\u2019s been my favourite mug ever since, because 1) it\u2019s really big, and 2) it\u2019s got this thumb crater on top of the handle that fits just right, great for those of us who need two hands when it\u2019s early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s my every single morning, if-it\u2019s-dirty-I-wash-it coffee mug. To me, it signifies friendship, the kind that spans decades and long distances, and the comfort of daily rituals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
