Readers,
Spring has finally sprung on the East Coast. Love it.
Excited to tackle my own travel matrix for the next several weeks. Not only are flowers blooming, but shows are shooting, boards are meeting, kids are graduating, and conferences are convening. For me, that all adds up to a potential frequent flyer status upgrade! Or, more likely, delays, hassles, warm nuts, bad air, and the snoring seat-mates that make me wonder how most marriages last.
Speaking of sleep, it does seem like the whole world is Woking Up. Lot of sleepy folks still out there -- approximately 50%, as we are reminded 100 days in. But there does seem to be a dam that has been sprouting woke spouts. My prediction: sooner or later it's going to burst.
See and read some interesting and sometimes woke, and entertaining thoughts in today's LZ Paper. Enjoy it and share it. It's your weekly, must-read digest of news hand-picked by me, about and by women in business, politics, media, the arts and pop culture.
Send me stuff you think should go in a future edition here. Big crowdsource week thanks to Kathryn, Kelly, Karen, Carla, Pat, Sona, Julie, Emily, David, & Barbara, and many other Tweet-friends.
You can follow me on Twitter or on Insta @LZSundayPaper
When things are looking down, you can get a shared perspective @LZFloors.
See you next week--May is upon us!

The LZ Sunday Paperâ„¢ launched at the dawn of 2014. We expose and recirculate interesting content that is about, and frequently by, women in business, with a dose of ultra-relevant culture. We think that culture comes high and low, not much in between. Our audience is vast and not gender-driven. Every week we expect to deliver at least one good laugh. Send suggestions, clips, or names of people you think might enjoy this to LZSundayPaper@gmail.com.
