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 I’ve learned from my four-year-old
- I have daily struggles. How about you?

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.
Sometimes I’m so ambitious I walk 10,000 steps a day AND do a vigorous activity. That’s just my way!
Ok, I love the one about the fantasy of the writer lifestyle. I used to be a writer all day every day, when I was in college. I was pretty much an anxious recluse!
The writer piece is definitely interesting and offers lots to ponder. 10,000 + vigorous activity = Win!
