What am I Reading? – I am addicted to the Curiosity App (a must for your mind) Curiosity
offers quick 5-minute articles on everything from space exploration to time management.
This week I read all about how Jupiter’s Red Spot is Shrinking, The
Simple Technique that will instantly make you a better Listener & Daruma
Dolls are a Japanese tradition for achieving goals. Good stuff!!
· What am I Listening
to? – Exciting news! I have
been asked to be on a podcast! The
amazing host of Write Away, Natalie Lockett, has asked me to be a part of a
creativity panel and I am thrilled! We will be talking about inspiration and
creativity resources. It airs on May 1st!
Check out previous episodes now here.
· What Quote am I
pondering? – Pay it forward ~ not really a quote but been thinking a
lot about my own blessings and good fortune. I am a big believer in karma and
what goes around comes back around. I try to keep this in mind with every
action I take, personally and professionally.
· What am I
Researching? – Interesting
enough, kink. Yes, I said kink and yes, I mean that kind of kink. One of my
fellow writers is writing a book on alternative lifestyles, specifically,
polyamory and kink. Not something I have ever considered for myself but
interesting none the less. I am looking into understanding the lifestyle and choices of the community. Here
is a terrific article I found if your curiosity is at all piqued.
· Yummy Meal of the
Week – Baked Feta Crusted
Salmon – Holy yum! Love fish, and super love this amazing dish! Get the recipe here.
· What did I Learn? –
Choosing our battles is
important. There are lots of reasons to fight back, draw the line and state
enough is enough and there are just as many reasons not to. Some people use the
fight as a vehicle for drama, attention, and even distraction. Either way, it is used energy --positive or negative.
As I have gotten older, I am realizing I need to choose how best to expend my
energy and what battles (good and bad) are worth fighting and which are better
spent unfought and even ignored. This is
a difficult choice at times, but definitely necessary because in the end not
battles are won in the fight, some are won in the strategy to ignore,
compromise and or resolve without conflict.
· What am I Watching?
– The Rookie on
ABC. I have always been a fan of Nathan Fillon, he got my attention in Serenity
(Firefly) and then again in Castle. I was recently challenged into watching the
pilot episode of his new ABC show – The Rookie about a 40-something man who is
looking for a clean slate after his divorce. Showing bravery and a knack for
de-escalation he moves to Los Angeles and becomes a police officer. Obviously, I was not initially interested in
the show but after the pilot, I have to
admit I am intrigued. I am a fan of 911 and this has a similar feel. I am
putting it to the three-episode test! (if
you are curious, the deal was I have to watch The Rookie and they had to watch Blindspot –
they are almost through Season One!)
