Welcoming the 17 new readers who found this newsletter last week.

10 Things I’m Celebrating This Week: 

1. This week G and I had the most incredible Airbnb host in Lake Como. She drove to pick us up from the ferry and her son drove us at 5:30am to catch the ferry on the way back. Miracles. 

2. Melissa wrote an incredibly piercing and poignant essay about what it was like to be diagnosed with breast cancer at 26 years old

3. This quote in Mari Andrew’s newsletter resonated with me deeply: 

   I think it's about learning how to seek evidence for a benevolent universe, rather than look for ways that I'm being let down.

4. G and I launched sg studio to help people design and remodel their homes in Barcelona. (Maybe New York one day too?!) Follow the account here. If you know anyone in BCN who needs remodeling or interior design, give us a call!

5. Maggie Rogers has new music. Listen here. 

6. Abena is back again featured in Eater, in this article about the art of getting hard-to-snag reservations

7. The Quitted podcast with Holly Whitaker and Emily McDowell mentioned this Gandhi quote that felt relevant this week

   My commitment must be to truth and not to consistency.

8. My favorite writer Melissa Febos has a new book coming out, called The Dry Season about her year of celibacy. I cannot wait to read.

9. Elaine’s company Disco makes it easy to skip the line at the 260 sample sale. This is a very important PSA. 

10. Caryn shared this newsletter about reconsidering career optionality and I loved, loved, loved it. 

With love,
