#57: Take It or Leave It
A weekly drop of things I love
Take It or Leave It is a weekly highlight series for paid subscribers. Pretty much every Friday, I share a quick hit of things I’m loving.
Most of my writing is long-form and requires time for research between essays. Hopefully, this helps fill in the gaps for you with new finds (or things you want to revisit).
If not, all good. Take it or leave it ✌️
Earlier this week, I shared a clip from a recent conversation I participated in at Studio Stories presented by The Scatter Joy Project. I talked a little bit about why I named my newsletter “Feels Like Home.” In the video, I explain how I saw the phrase and this theme of “home” pop up in some of my old writing.
I wanted this newsletter to be a reflection of me, which is to say I wanted to focus on things I love & the people and moments that have shaped me. As
put it in a recent Notes post, “i’m a mosaic of everything and everyone i’ve loved.”
Home is where you’re most yourself. Where you’re with your people. Where the things that you love are all there. It may not always seem like these things go together, but they find harmony within us. They are us.
asked how I feel about my personal growth and the evolution of Feels Like Home since starting this newsletter. And while I hope to write more about this in the near future, I’m proud of what I’ve made. Not alone, of course. My people have carried me here. But it feels good to do me and know that the things I’m interested can be interesting to other people.You’re welcome anytime. And I hope you experience something along the way that feels like home.
