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.
- Do you think digital friendships are flawed? Jeff Goins offers his perspective.
- Kottke.org highlights the most influential photos of 2016.
- Brain Pickings shares its “16 Overall Favorite Books of 2016.“
- It’s never too late to start writing. And it is a way to keep yourself and others alive. Susan B. Garland explores, “Telling Their Life Stories, Older Adults Find Peace in Looking Back.“

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.
You’re so good at finding friendship pieces. I’m so grateful because they help me! :)
Aww, thanks, Nina. High praise coming from you!
The Digital friendship one is so intriguing! And this day and age..
And I love the end of 2016 ones.
The digital friendship piece offered much to ponder. I love all those end-of-the-year lists too!
