After learning about my #OneGoodThing writings on this blog, the parents of our wonderful Passover Seder host sent me this uplifting book for my birthday. I was deeply touched by the thoughtfulness of this gift—and we are loving Lin-Manuel Miranda’s little pep talks! Today’s #OneGoodThing was reading “Gmorning, Gnight!” with Mama! Many thanks to Norm…
Yesterday Mama had the pleasure of an excellent haircut, and today was my turn at the salon! I always love to see our stylist, Matthew, and let him work his magic on my locks. My pixie cut had gotten dramatically long in front, so I was happy to have a fresh, shorter take on it.…
