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:
- Does your Zodiac sign predict your mothering style?
- What are women finally ditching?
- What is the key to mental and cognitive health?
- How do you retrain your shrinking attention span?
- Stephen Hawking, In His Own Words.
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 miss your words. I have been walking in a fog after the shooting in Parkland. The fog turned into clarity and activism. Small things that we all can ans should do to make this world a better place for our children. Just wanted to drop by and say hello.
The shrinking attention span thing – it’s so real. It’s so scary.
The astrology thing made me laugh. I consider myself a mix of Leo/Cancer because I’m on the cusp. I burst out laughing about flirting with your child’s teacher.
