What
am I Reading? –
Battlemind: A Military Legal Thriller
by Michael Waddington - A suspected terrorist is tortured to death in a secret
Afghanistan prison. A low-ranking guard is the military’s top suspect.
Army
JAG lawyer Captain Max O’Donnell isn’t so sure. Max is 90 days away from ending
his tour of duty, and the last thing he needs is to take on an un-winnable
case. But no matter how jaded and burned out he has become; he still believes
justice is worth fighting for.
Digging
deeper into the case, Max unearths a shadowy alliance between the prosecution,
led by Colonel Covington Paine, and a team of faceless CIA spooks. Paine will
stop at nothing to win, and he’s willing to crush anyone who gets in his way -
including Max O’Donnell.
With
his client’s life on the line and his military career hanging in the balance,
Max must wage war in the courtroom and seize victory the only way he knows how.
What am I Listening to? –
How to Stop Feeling like Sh*t by
Andrea Owen
- 'Fearlessly tells it like it is, offering its readers no-nonsense and
insightful advice to help them get over their crap and wake up to their own
brilliance.' - Jen Sincero, bestselling author of You Are A Badass
It's
time to stop self-sabotaging and start living your best life.
How to
Stop Feeling Like Sh*t is a straight-shooting approach to self-improvement for
women, one that offers no-crap truth-telling about the most common
self-destructive behaviors women tend to engage in.
From
listening to the imposter complex and bitchy inner critic to catastrophizing
and people-pleasing, Andrea Owen--a nationally sought-after life coach--
crystallizes what's behind these invisible, undermining habits. With each
chapter, she offers practical advice and kicks women's gears out of autopilot
and empowers them to create happier, more fulfilling lives.
Powerfully
on-the-mark, the chapters are short and digestible, nicely bypassing weighty
examinations in favor of punch-points of awareness.
How could
I not, when Jen recommends the book? OMG, I have totally drunk the Kool-Aid!
What
Quote am I Pondering? – “Love yourself like you're the only one there is.” -
Jen Sincero
What am I Researching? – The
Christian book world. I have a potential client who has written a published a
book for kids 11-17 called A Treehouse in Jericho. Interesting piece of the
publishing pie. Stay tuned!
Yummy Meal of the Week –
Cheesy Jambalaya with Sweet Italian Sausage – This is a cheat but yummy. Zatarain’s
Cheesy Jambalaya add sausage and I roasted some mini peppers. So, Yum!
What
did I Learn? – Anger is a powerful motivator. I am the most unfiltered when
angry. I also feel the freest, which in itself is scary as I am not normally an
angry person. When fueled with rage, I am 100% explosive. A ticking bomb
waiting to explode on the person or thing that acts as a trigger.
Anger
is not always a bad thing. Anger, whether resentment or irritation is a symptom
of a bigger problem. Recognizing the symptom is the first step in working
through the problem to resolution.
The
part I am struggling to reconcile is the freedom from anger. The mindset of
being so angry I do not care what anyone thinks. Oh, how to live like this
every day without the angry part?
What
am I Watching?
– Buffy the Vampire Slayer on Hulu (knew that was coming) and Umbrella
Academy Season 2! This will be the third run of Buffy since it ended in May
2003. Such a great show.
I
loved season one of the Umbrella Academy and season two dropped on Netflix this
past Tuesday. Wahoo! I am only on episode three but fun!!
