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:
- Tennis has evolved, and the 30s are the new 20s
- How to let go of any possession
- When applying to college, this character trait may mean more than grades
- Why you should stop yelling at your kids
- 32 lessons from this year’s Do Lectures
- Fidget spinners, weighted blankets, and the rise of anxiety consumerism
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 love the one about yelling at your kids. I think we all think we never will, and many of us do.
