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 advice would you give to your younger self? Here are J.K. Rowling’s thoughts on the subject.
- On your list of priorities, what comes first? According to Colby Itkowitz’s piece in The Washington Post, prioritizing these three things will improve your life — and maybe even save it.
- Do you wish you could inject more positivity in your life? You might want to follow the advice in this piece – Turning Negative Thinkers Into Positive Ones.
- If you are an extrovert or introvert, alone time is necessary. Quartz tells us why in the article – Spending time alone is the easiest way to get real rest – even for extroverts.
What were 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.
I’m both an introvert and an extrovert and I agree with that post so much!
Also, J.K. Rowling. I pretty much live for her wisdom.
I viewed myself as an extrovert for so many years, but now see myself as an introvert. I think all of us possess qualities of both during our lives.
