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:
- Am I going blind?
- The usefulness of dread. Exceptional piece for those who suffer from anxiety.
- This is the way to be your best self.
- How do you develop a mind that clings to nothing?
- When is a child Instagram-ready?
- The Worst Roommate Ever. My favorite piece of the week. Exceptional reporting and narrative.
- How to build resilience in midlife.
- Want to make new friends? Try this strategy.
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.
Ah, resilience. Kids have it so well. What about midlife?? And I’m totally reading the one about a child being Instagram ready right now. I thought.. 18!!!
