    My 20th college reunion is this weekend. Over Zoom My 20th college reunion is this weekend. Over Zoom. Before every reunion, I spend the flight to Boston finishing the "Red Book". This year, I'll read it on my porch. I love hearing about my classmates' lives. Despite our varied backgrounds and life paths, we face similar joys and challenges. Themes: time goes too fast and, now that we're of a certain age, we are focusing more on connecting with the people we love. This was all written months before COVID-19. To my college friends, I'm sad to miss you this weekend. I've been looking forward to chatting with you in person for a long time. Hopefully, we will see one another soon. Also, what are you wearing to the Zoom reunion? PJs or cocktail attire? 😂 #theredbook #harvard #harvardreunion #harvardalumni #classof2000 #20years #collegereunion #zoomreunion #zoomdresscode #covid19 #collegefriends #missyou

    Thank you to Chicago's North Shore residents, U-Ha Thank you to Chicago's North Shore residents, U-Haul @uhaul, PODS @podsofficial, and the Winnetka Congregational Church @winnetkacongregational for making the Quarantine Donation Program such a huge success (see blog post link in bio). Because of your donations, Humble Design @humblechitown and the Chicago Furniture Bank @chicago_furniture_bank have continued to assist their clients who are exiting homelessness. Instead of continuing to sleep on the floor during the quarantine, a mom slept in a bed. A boy enjoyed his new, blue lamp. Families placed their clothes in dressers. Thank you! 🙏 Please keep your furniture donations coming. Your kindness means everything. #uhaul #pods #humbledesign #chicagofurniturebank #quarantine #chicagorealtors #quarantinedonationprogram #chicagonorthshore #chicagogrammers #donate #declutter #artofhappymoving #happymoving #bekind #kindness #helpothers #thankyou #gratitude
    If you like books about prep school and secret soc If you like books about prep school and secret societies, you'll love THE NINE by Jeanne McWilliams Blasburg @jeanneblasbergauthor. I read it over the weekend and I loved getting lost in the school setting. Maybe I'm a tad nostalgic about the days before e-learning. 😄 I had the great pleasure of meeting Jeanne at The Book Stall @the_book_stall in November. Thank you, Jeanne, for writing THE NINE and for transporting me and entertaining me exactly when I needed it. #thenine #jeannemcwilliamsblasberg #prepschool #bookstagram #thebookstall #igauthors #bookevent #authorevent #booksigning
    My new favorite thing? A freshly laundered face ma My new favorite thing? A freshly laundered face mask. Seriously, it's amazing. Thank you @evsewing for the washable face mask. If you purchase a face mask through Elena Victoria, the proceeds are used to create face masks for healthcare workers. Goodness all around. Stay safe. ❤️ #facemask #freshlylaundered #itsthelittlethings #covid19 #thankyouhealthcareworkers #sewing #elenavictoria #staysafe #protectyourneighbors #together #united
    It has been a tough road for everyone. If you are It has been a tough road for everyone. If you are struggling right now, please reach out to a loved one or a professional for help. Ask your kids if they'd like to speak to a school counselor. One of the terrible aspects of COVID-19 is it keeps us apart when we need each other most. You are not alone. ❤️ * * * * * #youarenotalone #mentalhealth #askforhelp #quarantine #selfisolation #covid19 #together #community #friends #neighbors #family #reachout #united #sendinglove

A special thanks to Katie Dunlop @katiesdunlop and Julie Jensen @juliejensenrealestate for helping me monitor the donations.

    How could I not read this book during the quaranti How could I not read this book during the quarantine? Such a great title and book @camille_pagan! 😍 I'M FINE AND NEITHER ARE YOU is another reminder to always be kind because you never know what's going on in someone else's life. Thinking back to that fabulous evening at Barbara's Bookstore when Kimberly Gabriel @kimberlytgabriel and I enjoyed watching Camille Pagan and Lisa Barr @lisabarr18 in conversation with the Good Book Fairy @goodbookfairy. The authors talked about "I'm Fine and Neither Are You" and "The Unbreakables", and life was normal back then. Such happy memories. Let's do it again soon. 💕 #imfineandneitherareyou #camillepagan #goodbookfairy #quarantinereading #igauthors #authorfriends #bookstagram #happymoments #booktalks #barbarasbookstore #bookstore #independentbookstore #thingsimiss #bekind
