- What am I Reading? – I spent most of the week reading the Mother of all Things by Gabriel Blake. Look for my review on Sunday! Also read Kristen Lambs amazing blog - Drudgery: What Separates Those Who Dream From Those Who DO. I am all about the quick reads and so I love Pocket (if you don’t use it GET IT!) You can follow me and offer suggestions to others on what YOU are reading! This week’s favorite is Time Management Hacks That Very Successful People Practice Daily I have also recently discovered the Curiosity App (again a must for your mind) Curiosity offers quick 5 minute articles on everything from space exploration, to time management.
- What am I Listening to? I am always listening to Bob Mayer’s Novel Writer’s Toolkit. Also started listening to Atomic Habits by James Clear as suggested by the fabulous Kristen Lamb! In my spare time I LOVE the Beyond Reality Radio Podcast with Jason Hawes and JV Johnson. They are awesome talking about ghost hunting, psychics, aliens and conspiracy theories.
- What Quote am I pondering? ~ Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. — Confucius ~
- What am I Researching? – Writing a book is full of research as you all know. I spent my time this week looking up bible quotes, writings on Demonology and Ancient symbols. Also spent some time researching CBD oil and its uses for Anxiety. My daughter suffers from severe anxiety and we have started her on a CBD regiment. I will let y’all know what happens!
- Yummy Meal of the week – Taco Bell usually is awesome going down, but I regret it a few hours later (don’t deny it we have all been there) my 14-year-old son craves it on a regular basis and I usually do not get anything but this week I tried a new menu item. It is called POWER MENU STEAK - you have the choice of a Burrito or a Bowl. I choose the Burrito this time, but I LOVE the bowl option to cut out the carbs of a flour tortilla. Anyway, very tasty and I was not regretting it hours later!
- What did I Learn this week? – Kinda funny and a reference to my day job, I learned how to us the IF function utilizing a date rage in a TRUE / FALSE scenario. So AWESOME! (Yes, I am a total excel nerd!). I also learned that I am not a fan of 3rd person writing as a reader. Not something I ever realized before, interesting, I think it is because I am a writer.
- What am I Watching? – I am a TOTAL geek when it comes to good TV and Movies. This week I binge watched Haunted on Netflix – it was interesting--I wasn’t thrilled with the lack of resolution to the tales but as it is reality, I guess there usually are not happy endings. Then caught up on the current season of The Gifted.
