My name is Ann and I am a senior editor for ILLUMINATION magazine. (All editor bios here) Every Monday, I present a weekly editorial pick of 15 hand-picked stories, submitted in the previous week, that stood out for their brilliant content.

A diversity in thoughts and perspectives that opens you to new pathways of thinking to help with all facets of life — writing, work, career, innovation, and relationships!

So kickstart your week with these fabulous articles that inspire, motivate, teach, or at least add a smile to your day!
