This is what the past week looked like.
I read this book for book club and it was okay.
There were a few good nuggets, but it was loooong.
Fave quotes:
"We are not our past mistakes, we are our present and future intentions."
"You don't get what you want, you only get and maintain what you believe you're worthy of."
"You can only experience the depth of love, intimacy, and connection with another person as the depth you love and intimately connect with yourself."
"We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are."
"Rejection is God's protection."
"The only people who get upset about you setting boundaries are those who are benefiting from you having none."
My favorite salad from my local pizza joint.
I also read...errr....skimmed this one.
I wasn't into it, but I did love the chapter on polar plunging and am trying to convince myself to get in the lake one of these days.
Fave quote:
"Winter is full of fleeting invitations to step out of the ordinary. Snow may be beautiful, but it is also a very adept con artist. It offers us a whole new world, but just as we buy into it, it's whisked away."
G requested the tofu dish I made last week!
This book started slow for me, but picked up and I'll think about it for a long time.
Fave quotes:
"When people don't like themselves, it makes them mean."
"Half of the work that is done in the world is to make things appear what they are not."

Cordless is a game changer.
I recently heard quiet time referred to as holy hour and I like that.
Ever since the remodel was completed the gray rug bugged me so I shopped my house and love the pop of white.

This was a fun find during Amazon sales.

Brad was posing like a model so I had to take a picture.

I had to document that I didn't finish this book because my perfectionism comes out in reading where I cannot abandon books.
Recently I read an article about one reader only reading books she would rate 4 stars or higher and hearing books are art and art is subjective.
That gave me the freedom to not finish books, especially after finishing a two star book and feeling like I wasted my time.
Sunday afternoon Poppi in a martini glass is perfection.
Sunny and 70 degree day...
To severe thunderstorms and tornado warnings.
We sheltered in place in the basement watching MSU get beat. :(
Good reminder.
I love this quote that came from this great article.
I can't stop thinking about this either.
That's the goal.
I feel seen.
Ha!
For more life lately:
