Don’t worry. I will still be posting daily as usual!
We have a (very busy) staycation planned for next week. Even though our week will be filled with meetings and appointments and a fairly robust to do list, it’s been a long year, and I’m still thrilled to get a week away from the office.
How excited am I? I’m drunk-girl-confronted-with-puppies excited!

I have nothing clever to say today. I’m just thinking about all those who were lost and those who were left. Wishing us all better days.
Much love,
Donna

During my commute this morning, I was sitting adjacent to a couple who may have been overserved last night. Their conversation immediately brought to mind one of my favorite Dorothy Parker short stories. I’m thrilled that I was able to find it for you. Enjoy!

This has been making the rounds on Facebook for a few days, so I’m assuming most of you have seen it. However, I’m on a new diet which has left me a bit daft and full of feels, so I’m sharing it anyway!
Here’s one of my favorite singers singing my favorite song (with the help of 1500 of his friends).
At a time when it seems like we are constantly bombarded with news of violence and death and intolerance and unrest, we all need something beautiful. This blog is my small daily contribution. And while it never feels like enough, I think it’s important that we continue to work hard to put out more good than bad in the world. I wish us all comfort and peace. ❤
