A Little Empathy, in Honor of Dr. Seuss (and My Mom)
|
Hey there, March 2nd is Dr. Seuss’s birthday, and in my world, that means it’s also a day to remember my late mother, who—without fail—dressed as the Cat in the Hat on Dr. Seuss’ birthday. Listen, we all have our hobbies. This was hers. And she wore that striped hat with gusto. Dr. Seuss gave us plenty of whimsical rhymes and wacky characters, but he also imparted lessons in empathy. "Horton Hears a Who" reminds us that a person’s a person, no matter how small. "The Sneetches" tells us that the stars on our bellies don’t determine our worth. "How the Grinch Stole Christmas?" That story teaches us that a heart—even a Grinchy one—can grow when shown a little kindness. If there was ever a time in human history to take those lessons to heart, it’s now. The relentless onslaught of bad news has so many of us activated—angry, grieving, overwhelmed. And if you’re not feeling that way, you might be catching the collateral damage of someone who is. Either way, it’s rough out there. So today, in honor of Dr. Seuss, my mom, and that ridiculous hat, here’s my gentle ask: Be kind. Extend grace. Lead with empathy. It won’t solve everything, but it’s a start. With love (and maybe a little Seussian rhyme), |

Over the past few weeks, I've had a number of conversations with people about the writing projects they've been carrying around longer than they'd like. Most of these projects aren't stuck because they lack importance. They're stuck because client work takes priority, deadlines shift, and new opportunities demand attention. Before you know it,...
Hi Reader, We’ve covered your summer listening. We’ve covered your quick-hit reading. Which brings me to a very specific category: Beachside or poolside reading. The kind of book you toss in your bag, pull out with sandy hands, and read while half-listening for “Mom?” or “Can you watch this?” from somewhere in the distance. — If you’re looking for something that fits that exact moment, I have a suggestion. (And yes, I wrote it. Stay with me.) Fuckery: The Life and Times of A Legend (In Her...
Hi Reader, A quick update on the Judi 411 Summer Copy Consult Package. One of the reasons I decided to bring this offer back is because it has always been popular. Every time I've offered it, the spots have filled before the deadline. I think that's because it solves a very specific problem. Most business owners don't wake up needing a complete website rewrite. They wake up with a collection of writing projects that have been sitting on the back burner for far too long. The package was...
