ARTICLE TO READ — How to Let Go, Mari Andrew // The most brilliant and thoughtful Mari Andrew uses Hey Jude by the Beatles an an analogy and example of how to practice forgiveness and experience freedom.

BOOK TO READ — // Braiding Sweetgrass, Robin Wall Kimmerer // Drawing on her life as an indigenous scientist, and as a woman, Kimmerer shows how all other living beings offer us gifts and lessons. 

PODCAST TO LISTEN TO — Dolly Parton’s America, WNYC Studios & OSM Audio // In this intensely divided moment, one of the few things everyone still seems to agree on is Dolly Parton. But, why? That simple question leads to a deeply personal, historical, and musical rethinking of one of America’s great icons. 

ALBUM TO PLAY — Portrait, Samara Joy // Or in this case, an album to pre-save! We can’t wait to listen to Grammy-winning jazz singer Samara’s newest album.

RECIPE TO MAKE — Apple Fritter Cookies // It’s apple season! These soft apple fritter cookies are bursting with fresh, juicy apples and finished off with a salty-sweet maple glaze.

THING TO BUY — Frances Knee High Boot // We don’t know about you, but the Frye Campus Boots are all over our Pinterest. Bummed that they’re sold out everywhere and looking for a similar vibe? Check out these beauties (we may like ’em even more!)

PLACE TO GIVE — The Shea Center // The Shea Center is dedicated to improving the lives of people with disabilities through therapeutic horse-related programs.
