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:
- When you have a voice telling you you’re inadequate
How to stop procrastinating by using the 2-minute rule
- What this 76-year-old man can teach about healing
- Who will buy your book? h/t Kristen Ploetz
Matthew McConaughey: Five minutes for the next 50 years of your life
Make failure your fuel
- 17 refreshing books to read this summer
- 3 thoughts on a decade of publishing books
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.
Of course I had to head to the refreshing books!
Also, I have that voice telling me I’m inadequate. Quite a bit, actually.
