What are my five favorite blogs?
There are few sites I keep up with regularly, and though a few don’t qualify as “blogs” in the same way that this site is a blog, I’m including them because they fit the “favorite” category.
The Noun Project/The Noun Project Blog. This site was created to celebrate visual language. In stunning simplicity, creators and artists from everywhere contribute to the growing collection of symbols to communicate a message with single drawings. These symbols cross cultural and language barriers through unifying, readable images. I check The Noun Project Blog regularly to see what’s new.
The Millions/Books and Reviews. This is one of my go-to places for book reviews, but it also includes essays, short stories, works of non-fiction, and so on.
Wit & Delight. All things living. Beauty, simplicity, humor, inspiration. So much love. This site makes me want to live the most simple life ever.
In Jennie’s Kitchen. First, her name. Second, I started reading Jennie’s blog shortly before her husband – her love – had a massive heartache and died on New York street corner. I admit – my interest quickly shifted from, “What’s Jennie cooking today?” to “WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT?” They had two daughters. Life was fabulous. Then it all went dark. I continued to follow Jennie’s journey because I cared about her, this stranger who had no connection to me whatsoever. In the four years following her husband’s death, she regained new strength, trudged forward, put out a cookbook, and continues to use food as her conduit for love.
My Modern Met. I’ve mentioned this site before in my favorites. Massive amounts of creativity. It feeds my soul.
