Mindfulness moment: take your headphones out for a few minutes on your walk home today and pay attention to everything new you notice, e.g. the smell of the nearest dining hall or the sound of an oval squirrel startling.

Sunday self care idea: declutter one small area of your living space that you’ve been putting off. Listen to an audiobook or podcast in the background if you need a little motivation boost & consider adding something cozy to the area like a candle, blanket, art, or fun lighting.

In honor of #WomensHistoryMonth and #NationalReadingMonth , we asked our staff about some of their favorite works by female-identified authors. We’ll be posting a few of their recs here!

The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison "This first novel is based in Northeast Ohio, from where the author and I both hail. Reading it broadened my perspective & understanding of history, diversity & privilege. It's also beautifully written and elegantly fierce." -Claire Simon, LISW-S

Bloodchild and Other Stories by Octavia Butler "She's won the Hugo & Nebula Awards, was of the first African American female sci-fi writers, & her stories focus on injustice towards African Americans, global warming, women’s rights, & political disparity." -Nicole Chapman

(Sarah Peters, PsyD agrees with the Octavia Butler recommendation, stating, "She is a LEGEND!")

The Bell Jar by Silvia Plath "I first read it when I was 13 and have come back to re-read it every few years since then. It's the only book I have ever re-read but I find myself connecting to different parts of the story each time. I love her poetry, too." -Sarah Vretas, LPC

Feminism is for Everybody: Passionate Politics & Bone Black: Memories of Girlhood by bell hooks "The world is not the same without her but she left the universe the gift of her wisdom and voice." -Jennifer Lang, LISW-S
