Everything feels more contagious right now, including our moods: fear, frustration, grumpiness, compassion, empathy, hope and concern. Each day is a roller coaster of emotions that we both push out and receive. I'm thinking about this a lot in terms of the news we read, what we post online, and what we say to others and to ourselves.

For those of you new to this newsletter, I have been writing a quarterly newsletter for 20 plus years called "Breakfast @ Tiffany's." During the pandemic, I have been doing a special, more regular series with things to do, watch, and learn, and dispatches from my brother Dr. Shlain. If you want to forward this newsletter to your friends and family, they can sign up for themselves here.

Lots of good things to check out below.

PS: Our puppy comes this weekend. Ken, Odessa & Blooma and I cannot wait. Looking forward to the contagious puppy joy energy in the house.

Graduate Together

NBC's "Graduate Together" was so inspiring to watch. Tears flowed from Odessa and me during the broadcast. If you have any graduates in the house or you just want to be moved and feel hope, watch this amazing one-hour special on NBC hosted by LeBron James featuring Obama and many other fantastic speakers. Watch here.

Watch Highlights of the Webbys from Home

It was many moons ago when I first established the Webby Awards in 1996 -- and then it was such big part of my life for that next decade. I always love to see the winners, which were just announced. It's wonderful to see the Webbys continue to honor the best of the web and keep our five-word acceptance speech rule (love) and the statue that we made back in the early days. See Michelle Obama, Jimmy Fallon, Dr. Fauci and more at this year's Webby highlights. Link to watch is here.

#ZoomChallahBake

It's been so great baking with everyone each Friday. We had great people tap in from Italy and Berlin and all across the US this past couple of weeks.

This week, May 22, we'll be joined by Sara Waxman, founder of At The Well. We will talk about the importance of rituals during the pandemic-- and always.

Next week, May 29, we'll have Dr. Michael Rich, Director of the Center on Media and Child Health at Harvard's Boston's Children's Hospital. Hope you can join us for thought-provoking discussion about screen times and our mental health as I teach Dr. Rich how to make challah.

We start at 10 am PDT/1 pm EDT every Friday.
