My friend Laurie got me hooked on the advice column ‘Dear Sugar’ a long while ago. I completely love this woman’s advice, even when it might seem at first that I can’t relate to the person who writes in with a question. No matter who is asking for help though, by the end of the column, I am weeping onto my keyboard muttering YES YES OH MY GOD ALL OF THIS YES!!! And then I just wail because I am so moved.

Or something.

Anyway, Dear Sugar fell off my radar for a little while and just recently jumped back on. I stayed up way too late one evening clicking back through the archives, reading all the columns I missed.

And…crying buckets. BECAUSE I LOVE IT SO MUCH. LIFE! LOVE! UNIVERSAL TRUTHS!!!

Last night I decided to send the links to a few of my favorite columns to a touchy-feely friend of mine because I thought she would like it too. She’s actually a friend of my mother’s and I’m still not sure why she came to mind but she did. So I sent it along. I just feel like when good things come your way, you should share.

So on that note, in case you’re interested too, here are some of my favorite Sugar columns. (Slight warning, she is occasionally profane but in the best, best way.) I highly suggest curling up in bed with a cup of coffee and reading them all on a weekend afternoon. But, here are some goodies to get you started.

The lesson is…once again…share the good stuff? I think?

Yes.

A Big Life

The Human Scale

The Obliterated Place

The Ghost Ship
