In what appears to be a fun little gift book to leave lying around one’s condo or office for an occasional bit of inspiration, in  How To Be Interesting<\/a>,Jessica Hagy brilliantly doodles and diagrams ageless wisdom–not for finding an interesting life, but for being an interesting person.<\/p>\n

The book’s simplicity is at first misleading and had I not recognized my twenty-something daughter’s approach to living in its pages, I may not have taken it as seriously as I did. I count my lucky stars that I couldn’t resist sharing bits of Hagy’s wisdom with Cierra and in so doing discovering my own stuck places.<\/p>\n

What began as a short reflection has since became a daily rumination, guided by Jessica Hagy’s charted course. I invite you to buy the book, How To Be Interesting<\/a>, and to journey along with me–in what has since become a mini blog series–of learning what it means “to live at the intersection of wonder, awe, and curiosity.” Thank you, Jessica Hagy!<\/p>\n
