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:
- The secret to love is just kindness.
- The 30 best books to read this summer.
- 7 things dermatologists would never put on their skin.
- What type of leader are you?
- Four things procrastinators need to learn.
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 made a speech at my son’s wedding and in my speech I said…the one word that is everything is kindness. I do believe that kindness in a marriage, in all our relationships and the way we carry ourselves in the world is one of the most important things.
I love to go through the summer reading lists. You can bet I’ll be reserving some of them!
Thinking about summer reads makes me so happy. It snowed over 15 inches here this week!
