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:
- Yoga and meditation may have a detrimental impact on this part of your personality
- Is our obsession with wellness doing us in?
- We compared the average IQ scores in all 50 states – How does your state fare?
- Loneliness in the modern age: When social media ruins our social lives
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.
Fauda is an amazing show. Everyone that has watched it loves it and recommends it to others. Season 2 came out recently and I binged watched it in one weekend.
Grateful for the netflix article! Desperate for a new show when Handmaid’s Tale ends in a few weeks.
Holy cow – my state is #1 for IQs. Who knew? Oh yeah, we have MIT and Harvard.
