For years we've had this saying behind the kitchen sink so Ken and the girls and I hopefully read it at least half the time, stop, and think about all the things we are grateful for.

The roof over my head, running water, my hands, being alive.

You just never know. Did one way of life end? Did we take it for granted?

In this week’s newsletter, here are some other things to never take for granted:

Being together

Thinking together: Zoom 24/6 talk is on Wednesday May 13

Baking together: This Friday’s #ZoomChallahBake guest baker is auhtor, David Sax.

Reading a great newsletter

Angela Duckworth’s Character Lab weekly Tip of the Week newsletter

Seeing powerful photography

Jock McDonald's photos.

Watching provocative documentaries

Spaceship Earth

Crip Camp film and Q & A Zoom on Wed night

Experiencing a soulful discussion

Thinking Together

The first Zoom book talk on my book 24/6: The Power of Unplugging One Day a Week in April went so well, I'm doing another one. I'll share thoughts on Tech, Humanity in the Time of Corona and on how to create boundaries around screens and the importance of rituals during this period. It will be this Wednesday, May 13 11am PT. Beforehand, listen to or read the book if you would like and we’ll have a great discussion during the talk (have been doing a lot of fun experiments with how to engage with the audience on Zoom that I'm excited to do with you.) May 13, 11am PT 2pm ET. Registration info here.

Baking Together

We had so much fun and learned so much baking with Jake Cohen in our #ZoomChallahBake last week! This week we'll be joined by David Sax, author of the new book The Soul of an Entrepreneur, as well as the James Beard award-winning Save the Deli, which makes him an authority on challah (also a lifetime of challah eating). We start at 10 am PDT/1 pm EDT Friday, May 15.

Friday May 22 we'll be baking with Sara Waxman, founder of At The Well, which connects women around the world with transformative Jewish practices.

We are going to be highlighting an organization/charity helping during Covid-19 during our baking sessions. If you have never made bread before, no problem. Odessa, Blooma and I will teach you. Looking forward to Kneading with you all:)

Angela Duckworth's Tip of the Week Newsletter

Each Sunday I receive this brilliant newsletter and savor it and always forward it to people. Angela Duckworth's Character Lab Tip of the Week newsletter shares important ideas from positive psychology about developing one's character. She both shares ideas and has guest authors sharing ideas on empathy, grit, compassion, parenting and living with a simple takeway at the end. I highly recommend you check it out. Sign up here.

Jock McDonald's Photography

Jock McDonald is a brilliant photographer who had this photo above in one of my brother Jordan's dispatches....You can check out his work at this site and his IG here.

Spaceship Earth

Spaceship Earth is the true, stranger-than-fiction, adventure of eight visionaries who in 1991 spent two years quarantined inside of a self-engineered replica of Earth’s ecosystem called BIOSPHERE 2. The experiment was a worldwide phenomenon, chronicling daily existence in the face of life threatening ecological disaster and a growing criticism that it was nothing more than a cult. The bizarre story is both a cautionary tale and a hopeful lesson of how a small group of dreamers can potentially reimagine a new world. It’s an eerily prescient and telling film for the world of today.

I saw this film at Sundance. It's so good and relevant to what's happening today and produced by my good friend Stacey Reiss.

Watch on a variety of platforms including Hulu; all info here.

Crip Camp

A fascinating journey from a New York summer camp through Berkeley's role in the history of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The feature film is available on Netflix. Watch trailer here.

Ken and the girls saw this film on Netflix and LOVED it. Director Jim LeBrecht is an old filmmaking friend of mine and I'm so excited for everyone to see this film.

Ken organized a free online discussion with Nicole Newnham and Jim LeBrecht, director of the award-winning documentary film (executive produced by Barack and Michelle Obama), hosted by Ken and sponsored by UC Berkeley's Disabled Students' Program and the Automation Science and Engineering Lab. The discussion will be close captioned.

It's best the watch the film first before the Q & A with the filmmakers. If you don't have Netflix, you can do a free 30 day trial. Link and info above.

The Zoom Q & A is this Wednesday night at 8-9pm PT -Register for zoom here:

Diving into the Depths with Dr. Larry Brilliant

Two of my favorite minds in conversation: Join Rabbi Sydney Mintz in conversation with Dr. Larry Brilliant. Very few people have been at the center of and contributed to, the end of a global pandemic. Dr. Brilliant is one of those few. As an epidemiologist he worked with the World Health Organization to successfully eradicate smallpox around the globe. Dr. Brilliant serves as Chairman of the Board of Ending Pandemics. Register here.

That's all for now:)- xo, Tiffany
