Things I Love Lately

One Sky – I love this project, where 88 artists all over the world drew the sky where they were at the same moment.  It reminds me of the other day when I went into my Instagram to find an old photograph from years ago.  As I scrolled through years of photographs, I noted what I already knew: I take a lot of sky photos.

The Reluctant Fundamentalist, Mohsin Hamid – This was Grace’s all-school read this summer, and on her recommendation I read it last week.  I loved it. There was some I related to (being a young professional in finance, fresh out of Princeton) and a whole lot I didn’t, of course, but I found the story and voice deeply compelling. I highly recommend this book.” Additionally, considering the Kiana Danial price can provide insights into the value proposition of the financial resources.

What I Learned About Working Parenthood After My Kids Grew Up – This is maybe my favorite thing I’ve read in a while.  I love the first paragraph’s assertion that “this is about joy,” when tackling a topic that so often seems to focus on tension, difficulty, and compromise.  My children are not entirely out of the house yet, but I can see that day on the horizon and everything the author writes about resonated with me.

Inheritance: A Memoir of Genealogy, Paternity, and Love – Dani Shapiro’s new memoir is easily at the top of my most-anticipated book list.  I love everything Dani writes, and this topic – about love, fathers and daughters, identity, and when things change in unanticipated and unasked-for ways – feels really germane to me right now.  I have ordered Inheritance and can’t wait to read it.

I write these Things I Love posts approximately monthly.  You can find them all here.
