Friendship
“The only trick of friendship, I think, is to find people who are better than you are—not smarter, not cooler, but kinder, and more generous, and more forgiving—and then to appreciate them for what they can teach you, and to try to listen to them when they tell you something about yourself, no matter how bad—or good—it might be, and to trust them, which is the hardest thing of all. But the best, as well.” ― Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life

Must Read This!
New York Magazine is my hometown periodical and on the short list of online content that I consume multiple times a day. Its notable group of writers exudes a sass and intellect that feel like family. Rebecca Traister is among my favorites. She has written this week’s cover story, The Single American Woman. Click fast, my friends. You’re going to love it.
Divine Grace
L.A. is notorious for the condition of its roads. With so many deep grooves and potholes, driving can be a hazard. Yesterday, I went over a nasty, construction speed bump and as I made my way home, I heard a disturbing scraping noise. A big piece of something on the bottom of my car was dragging. I imagined the worse case scenario (days without a vehicle, a thousand dollars of repair), while at the same time, desperately trying to look at the bright side. Each challenge, I feebly muttered, is an opportunity. I brought the car into the mechanic. Everything’s going to be ok, he said. 2 hours later, my car was fixed. No charge.
