We got nothing done and the weekend was perfect
By Monday morning, we’ve barely made a dent in our weekend tasks... Each weekend, we make a list and check off boxes until the human instinct to enjoy kicks in - we relax. At the end, we’re full and happy and left with a long list, a lingering lie that maybe we should have delayed living until work was done. Only, we never do. And what a beautiful thing... To be so human that despite responsibility and
often logic, we reach so desperately for joy.
Local author, Hannah Rosenberg.is introducing her new book -- Same: Poems (on-sale: 10/21/25). Rosenberg's work celebrates connection, friendship, and the universality of being seen. Same offers intuitive insights and wisdom for all stages of life. Rosenberg's verse is a balm during difficult times, a companion for quiet moments alone, and a special message to share with a loved one.
Rosenberg had written poetry privately for years but it wasn’t until 2020 that she began sharing it on Instagram at @hannahrowrites. Readers flocked to her work, responding to the honest and vulnerable truths Rosenberg offered about family, selfhood, body image, and more. In poems like “At my wedding I did not feel my most beautiful,” “Magic disguised as ordinary life,” “Sisters on the telephone,” and “I took my thighs to the beach,” Rosenberg focuses in on small moments that add up to a meaningful life. Same offers a reminder that not only are we not alone, but we’re also all in this together.
