The Alexandria Papers Newsletter

By Dr. Alexandria Szeman • Issue #11 • View online

I have no energy to write today. It’s been a long week with so many things to do, and I’m going through some very stressful life changes, including a great loss. I’ll tell you about it one day. Today I’m just happy to share a few of the articles I’ve been reading this week.

As always, the best place to reach me is Twitter, but you can also contact me via my blog/website: The Alexandria Papers. I’m on Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram, too, but not as often as I’m on Twitter (I’m there every day). Talk to you next week.
