Self Care Friday: Reading

Well. This week has been one for the books. Never in our lives have we seen anything like this, and to be honest, even though I know I am healthy all of the panic has me basically shitting my pants.

So I know that all of this Covid19 craziness is SO much to handle. So I sure as hell will not give you any advice about how to handle this situation. To each his own, I am no expert. I am a neurotic Jewish mother so you definitely don’t need my advice!

But I do want you to know you are NOT alone in this fear and overwhelm. It is absolutely normal and you handle it however you can.

For my self-care tip this week, I want to talk about a great distraction to all of the hysteria:

Reading

I remember years ago going through an awful break up with a douche bag, I mean guy I thought was “the one.” At the time I couldn’t concentrate, I couldn’t do anything but wallow.

But, the second I opened a book I’d be swept away into a completely different world, and for that time I wasn’t sad.

So, just in case you are home a little more than usual in the coming weeks (wink wink) here is a list of some old faves, new hits, and some that I have heard are fantastic!

Old Favorites:

The House of Spirits
Empire Falls
Little Women

Great Recent Reads:

A Spark of Light
The Only Woman in the Room
The Secret Keeper

Recommendations from avid readers in my life:

The Giver of Stars:
Daisy Jones and the Six
Tools of Titans

Hang in there my friends!

I would love to hear what you are reading right now!

Be Bold and wash your hands! Xo
