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.
- This Is How You Pick Up the Phone is a beautiful and touching piece by Leslie Kendall Dye.
- At cocktail parties or in social gatherings do you feel the need to be liked? This article may be for you – How to Get Over the Need to Be Liked by Everyone You Meet.
- Is a temporary marriage better than a permanent one?
- Take a look at this stunning photo essay – Lessons in Stillness From One of the Quietest Places on Earth.

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.
Wait, everyone doesn’t have to like me? 😉
I’m late to the game here but wow, what a bunch here. They all speak to me!
