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.
- What are the ways you describe yourself? Do you use the words on this list ? – “The 27 Worst Ways to Describe Yourself“
- How do you view mistakes? Interesting article from Jason Fried, “A Mistake is Just a Moment in Time.”
- Do you need a refresher on friendship? Leo Babauta offers a primer in “How to Make Friends.”
- “. . .it’s not that we care too little about others; it’s that we care too much. More specifically, we care too much about how we stack up in the eyes of others.” Charles Freiman suggests “The desire to fit in is the root of almost all wrongdoing.”
What were some of your favorite reads this week?
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.
Oh my gosh I LOVE that friendship article! Such good tips.
I agree. It’s great post to keep bookmarked.
I do need a refresher on friendship! What an awesome read.
Thanks, Tamara!
I’m a fan of Zen Habits, but I must have missed this one. Leo offers such a calm and gentle way to live in our modern world. Thanks for sharing.
