Dive Into Poetry – Jena Schwartz is one of my favorite writers (my review of one of her books of poetry, Don’t Miss This, is here) and in April she’s leading a month-long dive into poetry. I cannot think of a better way to have poetry be a part of our life for a month. I highly recommend Jena’s group!
Reshma Saujani TED talk – “We’re raising our girls to be perfect, and we’re raising our boys to be brave.” This TED talk gave me chills and made me cry. This is a topic that is very close to me, and I find Reshma’s comments inspiring, motivating, galvanizing, and uncomfortably true.
40 over 40 – I love this project and everything it represents: celebrating women’s achievements, and upending the notion that being over 40 is being over the hill. As I personally get older I feel both more conviction that 40 is not “over” and awareness that many in the world think it is. I’m 41 and I’m just getting started. The honorees are fascinating, impressive, varied.

Currently listening to on repeat: One Call Away by Charlie Puth, I Lived by One Republic, and Life is Worth Living by Justin Bieber (I never claimed to have sophisticated musical tastes).
What are you reading, thinking about, and loving lately?
I write these Things I Love Posts approximately monthly. You can find the rest of them here.
This is a bit earlier than usual, because I won’t be here next week because children are on break from school and we’re off. I look forward to seeing you when I’m back!
I always love your loves, Lindsey. I adore that talk by Reshma and I cannot wait to check out 40 over 40. As always, thank you.
Lindsey, I’m honored by your words and so looking forward to Diving Into Poetry this April! xo
Spent the day enraptured by Jena’s writing. Thank you for pointing me there!
You always have things I would never find myself. I love these posts!
