My Longest Crush...and a Few Hard-Earned Recs

I'VE GOT A CRUSH. IT'S MY FIRST AND LONGEST RUNNING CRUSH...AND IT STARTED WHEN I WAS 5 YEARS OLD. TODAY, MY CRUSH IS MAJOR...AND I HOPE IT LASTS THE REST OF MY LIFE.

I've got a thing for books. Mostly nonfiction. I've used quarantimes to dive into even more books. If you're crushing hard on books, too, then you may appreciate today's "quick hit" list of time-tested (and more recent!) recommendations for your summer reading:

• Why We Can't Sleep: Women's new midlife crisis

• The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma

• The Joy of Movement: How exercise helps us find happiness, hope, connection, and courage

• Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body

• The Way of the Superior Man

• The Bright Side of Going Dark

While times may seem difficult, and you may feel exhausted (in every stretch of the word), remember that you were born to contribute. 

Reading is a powerful and consistent way to fuel your imagination and your energy, especially when the idea of continuing seems insurmountable. 

So grab a book to get inspired...and then keep creating...and connecting with...and testing yourself.
