We feature an illustration by the wonderful Mari Andrew every Friday morning. Here’s today’s.
Also, tomorrow (Saturday, March 24th), I’ll be chatting with Mari at Books Are Magic at 7 p.m. Please come by! We’ll also be serving the best cookies in NYC, no big deal. :)
P.S. How to write a better rom-com, and how much you know.
I think Nico Dimarco (insta handle @nicodimarco3) would be a great Friday feature.
He’s the twin brother of Nyle DiMarco (winner of ANTM & Dancing with the Stars). Both brothers are deaf & work hard to represent the deaf community.
Nile is a DJ. Yes. A DJ who is deaf! And he posts the BEST videos of him signing & dancing to songs. They make my day.
I’d like to add “lean in” “mind your own posture lady”
This reminded me of the quote in Lady Bird:
“I just want you to be the best possible version of yourself.”
“But what if this is the best version?”
This might be my favorite yet.
Love it!!
The magic happens when you step out of your comfort zone – ha, sure …. I love the rebuttal, I need to tell my boss. He thinks he needs to make me step out of my comfort zone, but they way he is doing it is trying to throw me under the bus. I’d rather stay in my comfort zone, thank you so much. I have loved my job for almost 20 years, and I could do it (with changes) for another 20 years …
Yes!
I have a chronic illness and it is so frustrating how many times people have said to me I just need to be positive about my situation. I understand that they just want to see me happy and healthy, but it is hard to live with crippling depression because of a debilitating illness. Even harder when people think you can magically get rid of your illness by changing your thinking. It’s like a relative once told me, “Just staying positive about the future is the only cure you need.” Ugh!
Oh god, I agree completely. I have 2 chronic illnesses and it’s maddening to hear it’s all in my head!
I feel you and I send you a big hug Chelsea.
I absolutely love this woman and her cartoons! I was realizing today that I literally look forward to these Friday posts all week, but have never commented. Thanks for introducing us! This one in particular was very spot on.
She is so great. Every week, I am even more impressed with her insights!
I think it’s possible to love what you do if you’re in the correct headspace and the idea of benefiting yourself is better than the grueling tasks that it involves! Just my opinion!!! Very thought provoking though! I love it!

I swear this woman is a national treasure.
This is wonderful and so true. Everyone’s opinion is not the same. Most of our “casual” sayings are dependent upon our personality and attitude. Thanks for sharing and giving me a little giggle today.
Love this.
So relatable.
Nail on head. Every single time.
