This Week

Scrabble H Mug Flowers

Thank goodness the seemingly never-ending winter is over. Come back never.

We’ve been enjoying the weather with lots of long walks, dining al fresco at our favorite neighborhood spots, and being social again. We have a few family visits on deck this week, and my husband and I are ducking out for an evening to celebrate his birthday. I’m particularly looking forward to attending the SELF Beauty Awards and a dinner honoring the Tribeca Disruptive Innovation awardees.

Alright, enough about me. On to the links!

  • Alyson’s post on body image is a MUST READ. Like, now. Why is it that a man’s appearance is rarely headline making news, but a woman is scrutinized for being too thin, too fat, wearing too unflattering clothing… It’s bullshit. And it needs to stop.
  • I’m truly honored to be a member of the Leadership Council of the Athena Center. Here are just a few reasons why.
  • How Ira Glass works. This whole series is worth binge-reading (keep a notebook or new Evernote doc at the ready).
  • How beautiful are these mosques in Iran?
  • This roasted vegetable orzo salad has been added to my rotation of go-to meals. Simple, healthy, and delicious. A win all around.
  • Has Obama finally earned his Nobel Prize?
