An essential how-are-you alternative
Oh, hi friends!
What's the best thing that’s happened with you lately?
My friend Jonathan just asked me this, and I thought…what an amazing question.
It’s not, “How are you?” or “What are you up to?”
It cuts to the heart of what’s really going on—and makes you think about something positive happening in your life.
So...what’s the best thing that’s happened with you lately?
if you feel like sharing, I’d love to hear (just hit "reply") and round up your "best thing" replies for a future newsletter.
What is your motto?
“Dream more, learn more, care more, and be more.”
From Dolly Parton’s Vanity Fair Proust Questionnaire.
And a bonus! Here’s Dolly performing “Jolene” in 1973. THAT HAIR.
The Happiest Store in the World
I can’t walk by a Flying Tiger without going inside. This Copenhagen import is full of little gadgets and colorful gizmos perfect for cluttering your desk. There’s also a bunch of craft-y items, and inexpensive candles, and adorable paper napkins and cheap greeting cards. Last time I was there I bought a royal blue pepper grinder. Why, you ask? BECAUSE IT WAS CUTE. This place always makes me ridiculously happy. There are stores around New York and New Jersey and, I would imagine, Copenhagen? Idk, all I know is there's one a half-mile from my apartment.
