On Things

By Madeleine Dore

A miscellany of thoughtful essays, daily observations, and handpicked poems exploring the things we do, feel, and encounter in our everyday lives. Lovingly assembled by Madeleine Dore to help inspire, comfort, and invite you to ponder ✨

Thoughtful essays that address many of the things we all deal with but don't tend to talk about, such as going through ruts.

Cheryl Strayed's Dear Sugar

This is the home of two newsletters. Paid subscribers get Cheryl's Dear Sugar Letter monthly, plus her free newsletter several times a year, which includes her "Tells Us" author series. Free subscribers get everything but the monthly Dear Sugar Letter.

Cheryl Strayed is an icon and one of my favorite authors (her book, WILD, is a must-read).
