Laura and her husband are moving to the West Coast this week, which means your weekly reads have been entrusted to my care and may have a slightly different flavour. I invite you to curl up with a mug of piping hot tea or coffee to enjoy some quiet reading this weekend.

    Here is another one that published today: http://humanepursuits.com/the-beauty-of-imperfection-nofilter/

    The author talks about our strange desire to sanitise the world, as if that will make it beautiful. Definitely worth the read!
