I saw the most epic moon the other night in Joshua Tree as it was rising up. I was driving and literally pulled over because I was in complete awe. Dan was there, as he always is, for my deep, life thoughts.
There I was realizing, once again, the magic in life. The magic that is life…
“Darling, you are a work of art…”
I get stuck in "ruts" as much as the next person. I go through ups and downs and can often wallow in my feelings…
With spring comes new beginnings -- including a whole new list of books (some are in stores now and a few others will drop later this season) to take with us to the park, the beach, on our weekend trips -- 'cause SPRING Y'ALL! :) It's packed with thrillers (my fave!), a YA fantasy novel (book one in a series), a short story collection, and a comedy! I also have some bonus reads if you're able to sneak them into your day. :)
So grab that (hopefully cold and iced) coffee or latte, and check out my recs and a few that will be on my reading list for this spring!! (There are too many good ones to list -- these are just a few that I think you should check out!)
Passion is a great thing to have, to an extent.
I read this interesting article yesterday by writer Brianna Wiest: 7 Things You're Relying On In Life That Are Holding You Back."
On passion, Wiest wrote:
"Passion is such a heavily used buzzword when it comes to defining what makes for meaningful and aspirational work. When people say "pursue your passion," what they really mean is to find something you care about enough to work on consistently.
Passion is emotion-based, and therefore, unpredictable if not fleeting. If you rely on passion to propel you through your life's work, you will be constantly at the whim of it. Cultivating principles means adopting behaviors that consistently work you toward your goals, whether or not you always "feel" like it."
This year we had everything from the world learning about "The Sunken Place", a woman superhero who blew us away with her wonder, one of the most breathtaking cinematography I've seen, a 7th season of a culture phenomenon, a show about teenage suicide that sent us on an emotional rollercoaster, a new Star Wars that divided us, Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman making television brighter with all the Lies (and of course Reese's book club), Marvel and Ryan Coogler blessing us with Black Panther sneak peeks and the mind-blowing Infinity War trailer, Tiffany Haddish gracing us with her talent right when we needed it, books taking us on the best journeys, poetry changing our lives, and of course Netflix serving us all the good content! :)
I'm breaking down some of my favorite content...
