5 Things about Books and Podcasts
1. Choiceology Podcast with Dan Heath
I have two new favorite podcasts this month, both by two of my favorite authors. Choiceology is from Dan Heath. Here’s the description:
“You’re not as rational as you think. In this new podcast, bestselling author Dan Heath performs forensic analysis on decision making. You’ll hear real stories, learn from top experts, and witness informal experiments that demonstrate the mistakes we too often make.”
2. The 1-3-20 Podcast by Daniel Pink
And this is second new podcast I love. 1 book, 3 questions, 20 minutes.
“In each episode, #1 New York Times bestselling author Daniel Pink selects 1 important book, asks its author 3 key questions (What’s the big idea? Why should I care? What should I do?), and wraps it all up in under 20 minutes.”
3. A Question I’m Often Asked: What’s My Process for Taking Notes?
by Gretchen Rubin
“When I read, I take notes. Many people have asked about my process, so here it is.”
4. I Have Forgotten How to Read
by Michael Harris
“Turning, one evening, from my phone to a book, I set myself the task of reading a single chapter in one sitting. Simple. But I couldn’t.”

5 Things I Love
1. Still Amazed
I was so happy for the invitation to spend a lot of time with my new granddaughter in February. She’s already 1 month and 2 days old.

Jeff hasn’t gotten to stay with Riley as much as I have, but he’s loved every minute he gets with her.

3. Surprise Blooms
My plant needed repotting years ago, but wow. It surprised me with blooms again anyway.

4. Another Vow Renewal Ceremony
This is our second Wedding Vow Renewal Ceremony to attend this year. This one is worthy of a blog post all its own, so maybe soon. For now, just know it was a God-thing how it came together. These are special friends of ours from Manna House.

5. But Who’s Counting?
This will only matter to me, but my meditation app let me know I’d reached a milestone this week. 700 sessions with the app, yet I know I’m still a beginner. Meditation doesn’t come easy to me. But I keep trying anyway.
