Good morning! How was your weekend? Mine was really great — some work, a lot of time with my niece, and a bottle of fantastic wine split with my sister. I’ve loved my time here; it’s been a true silver lining amidst the pandemic. 

Today, I’m enjoying my last day in Northern California before I drive across the country to Georgia for more dedicated work time. (A full update coming tomorrow! Stay tuned.) For now, I wanted to share some of the most interesting articles I’ve read from around the internet this week. Just a little something to kick off your Monday morning. 

Happy reading!

Secondary note: Additionally, I want to take this moment to encourage you to share feedback/thoughts of your own in the comments section. I’m sincerely up for open dialogue and the sharing of opinions and ideas. That said, whether in agreement or criticism, please always treat each other with mutual respect.
