Readers,
Thanks alot!
The past week or so has been filled with Thanks of all sorts, which is a good thing. There are actual Thanks and Thanks that, if they were once real, might seem a little fake-y because they're on Twitter or Facebook? Remember: it is scientifically proven that if you put a #hashtag in front of something you have a 23% lower chance of seeming authentic.
That is not true! I have zero evidence of that. But I bet if a scientist did a study s/he would get a significant result. Doesn't "#thankful light of my life family" seem at least 23% less sincere than "I am really thankful that I have my health and my family and that we got through Thanksgiving dinner without a huge fight?"
And don't get me started on #grateful.
Here is a very sincere thank you to all the LZSP subscribers and readers who really make this weekly endeavor even more worthwhile. Every week, we try to bring you the best and most important pieces about women in business and culture. We break it down into politics, digital, tech, media, fashion, sports, film, music, fashion,and culture. We are always #grateful for one good laugh along the way.
You also know that we are thankful to you when you send any interesting items you think we may have missed, and when you tell us what you think at OR tell people you think will enjoy it to sign up at LZSundayPaper@gmail.com.
Many of the articles we don't have room to include in the weekend edition are tweeted out all during the week! You can read them if you follow @LZSundayPaper.
Most of all, I am grateful to you for letting me replace "I" with "we" whenever we feel like it since it is only "me" here at LZSP HQ. See you in December and apologies in advance for the fact that I will most likely get #Grinchier in the coming weeks, before I get #Grateful-er again, post Holiday Season.

The LZ Sunday Paper™ (soon to be registered trademarked and copyrighted) 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 in size high, medium, and low. Our audience for this content is vast and not gender-driven. Every week we expect at least one good laugh. Send suggestions, clips, or names of people you think might enjoy this to LZSundayPaper@gmail.com.
