I am a voracious reader and every week I come across either a book, online piece or website I want to share with others. I’ve decided to curate these gems and highlight them on Friday. I hope you find these faves as insightful as I do.
- I love Lifehack’s simple principles on looking inward for happiness. Check out these short truths in The Power of Happiness Comes From Yourself, Not Others.
- Check out this video with Jenny aka Adele and her impersonators. It will bring a smile to your face.
- What is Left by Katie Devine brought me to tears. A must read for anyone mourning.
- I love the Thanksgiving Reader from Seth Godin. It is a lovely way to celebrate the holiday by reading poetry together with your loved ones.

Welcome! I am a lawyer turned freelance writer, essayist, and editor. On staff at Literary Mama and the co-founder and co-editor of the literary journal, The Sunlight Press, my essays and reported work have appeared in The Washington Post, The Lily, Saveur, Civil Eats, Brain, Child, ESPN and elsewhere. I am currently at work on a memoir on grief and culture and how it provides perspective on life’s ordinary graces. I invite you to appreciate the ordinary with me. I hope my daily practice of seeing the magic in the mundane helps you celebrate and find more of these moments in your life too.
