Welcome to the Quick Six!

Hi, I’m Danielle. I’m a mother and lawyer, keen observer, humorist, myself. I have full hands, as my daughter says. In April 2022 I started the Quick Six to write very quickly each week, curating my interests into lists. I re-homed my Lists here, on Substack, in October 2022.

The Quick Six sends six unexpected observations, in list form, each week, to your inbox. Read (or skim!) my mini-memoirs about the fullness (and speed) of parenting, of joy, of deliberate observation, of friendship, of chronic illness. You’ll likely learn how to worship summer (it’s a thing for me), parent with no energy (am I right?), and gather more unconventional ideas than you ever planned on collecting. Leave with life hacks you didn’t know you needed to maximize your own joyful, hard, complex, precious life- in all the roles you juggle, yes, but also for and as yourself.

Join me each week by subscribing to my Lists and other writings by the number. It will be fun. Maybe weird, but weird is not boring and not-boring is almost like fun. Sign up and be sure to check your spam and promotions folders on the first delivery. Your email server likes to say my writing is trash, but it’s wrong. Move it to your inbox so your email server knows the Quick Six is most definitely fun-adjacent.

You ready? Me too!
