People keep mentioning Being Mortal. I think more people have mentioned this book than any other to me this year. I am going to pick it up before the end of the year! Thank you so much for your kind comment, Elizabeth! Xo

Jennifer,
Thanks for the great suggestions! I agree with Caroline…Being Mortal by Atul Gawande is a must read. Can’t wait to investigate some of the others as well. Thanks for keeping us up to date!

Dear Julie, I’m so delighted this is a help!! So many friends have told me they enjoyed your recommendation of I Am Pilgrim…I suspect that will find its way into a lot of stockings as well!! Xo

Dear Mary, I love hearing from you at Bacon today!! You are such an encouraging friend and I so appreciate your kindness and enthusiasm!! Also, it’s very neat that you learned about Frances Schultz’s book today! And I’ve heard so many people talking about the Marie Kondo. Thank you so much for commenting today, Mary! Xo

Jennifer, I went to school with Frances Schultz and had no idea she had written a book. Can not wait to read it. How fun! She is a great girl. Also, would like to say the ” Tiding Up” book I also found to be very inspirational. I told my husband about it and of course he laughed but it does make you think as you get older about only wanting things you really enjoy around you. You might need to be in a certain stage of your life to get the meaning of it. Wow, Jennifer, I have never made a comment on your blog until today but I read it every day and love you doing this for all of us. Thank you!!!!! Mary
