I’m having a very nice morning.
The New York Times just published a list of the 10 Most Popular Modern Loves of All Time and my first Modern Love, Sometimes It’s Not You — Or The Math, is Number 6!
The Times has also posted a list of The Styles Sections Most Popular Articles of the Year, and my second Modern Love, The Hard-Won Lessons of the Solitary Years. Is on that list, too!
So I’m feeling kind of groovy.
I’m also really happy to see that Daniel Jones, the Modern Love editor, made both lists too for his terrific essay Good Enough? That’s Great.
This year Dan published a really smart and insightful book about his ten years as the Modern Love editor called Love Illuminated: Exploring Life’s Most Mystifying Subject (with the Help of 50,000 Strangers). The book is funny, wise and very kind. Although Dan claims to not be an expert, he clearly knows much more about love than most of the so-called experts telling us that we need to change and shape-shift in order to find love. So if you liked my book, check out Love Illuminated!
Oh, and if you are new to this page and like my essays, there’s a lot more in my book It’s Not You: 27 (Wrong) Reasons You’re Single.
Happy Saturday!
I’m not surprised. You’re such a gifted and inspiring writer!
Thank you, Sharon!
Congratulations, Sara! You truly deserve this because your articles possess something which is very rare: true empathy. There is nothing more comforting that this because it gives you the feeling that another human being knows what you are going true. You convy that message so well in everything you write. I took a longer break this Christmas and I have ordered your book. I am looking forward for it to be delivered in my mailbox. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
*Edit”: 1) … what you are going through and 2) convey that message so well. Your nominations deserve better than a reaction with typos in them…
Thank you! I hope you have a wonderful holiday!
