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:
- Between solitude and loneliness
- What I pack when I travel
How many exclamation points do you need to seem genuinely enthusiastic?
- Winners of the 2018 National Geographic Traveler Photographer of the Year contest
- Beach bag refill: 18 books we love right now
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’m seriously reading all of these and I’ll report back if it’s all as good as I think. Love the photography and book lists, and curious about the exclamation points. I have a lot of Facebook conversations about those!
