It’s been a while since I shared some of the random things I love — something I originally thought I would do once a week when I started I’m Walking Here. (Best laid plans and all that.) Since I’ve spent more than 15 years sharing gift ideas and cool things for a living, I’ve learned it’s a nice break from some of the stresses of the world and the struggles in our personal lives — and sharing things I love happens to be a nice break for me, too. I’m Walking Here is a reader-supported publication.
