Today’s post is in response to Jason Konopinski’s “The Things I Love,” but the title is stolen from my friend Leilani Carrasco Smith. She publishes a semi-regular series of posts entitled “My Little Loves,” and she includes things ranging from her mascara to the brush she uses on her cats. Both posts allow Jason’s and Leilani’s readers to get to know them, which is the primary point of the posts. Talking about one’s loves often is more enlightening than talking about what one does.
