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:
- Everyone has a story
- Mum’s the word
- In praise of extreme moderation
- Summer reading guide for kids
- 15 ways meditation boosts your brain power and your mood
- Why did we ever leave Mr. Rogers neighborhood?
- Bill Gates’ reading recommendations for the summer
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 so miss the simple days of Mr. Rogers. I suppose it was just simple for me because I was three. And I love reading more about meditation. The summer reading guide is key!
