a little roundup of things that inspired me this week

1. An Instagram photo by my sweet friend, Kat. So soft and pretty.

2. This is the Story of a Happy Marriage, by Ann Patchett. Presented in audio form by Audible, it’s a quiet essay with immense power. Shoots right to the top of the list of things I love—this week and forever. Take 77 minutes and give it a listen. Available via audible or amazon.

3. Murmuration
“Unbelievable” was the only comment my friend, Michael, offered in text of the email with this link. I so agree.

4. Steve, I’ve got news.
From Letters of Note, this fantastic exchange between Becky Klemt, an attorney in Laramie, Wyoming to Steven Corris, a California attorney. It is delish.

5. Summer in a glass
Cava Sangria, from Martha Stewart (recipe via the click to Pinterest)
