Well, we’re one month into the federal government shutdown, and with no end in sight, I figured I would share one thing that has been keeping me going: BOOKS! I have always loved reading, but I usually don’t have as much time to devote to my books as I prefer. So this break from work has given me plenty of time to catch up on my reading list.
I’m reading and re-reading a few books this month, and trying to take advantage of my significantly freed-up schedule. The books I’ve read so far this month are as follows:
Be Who You Came To Be by Estelle Gillingham, PhD
Chic & Slim Encore by Anne Barone
The Joy of Less by Cary David Richards
As I type this blog post, I’m about halfway done re-reading The 12 Week Year by Brian P. Moran and Michael Lennington. I’m kicking off a 12 Week Year session in November, that will last me until the end of January. I want to test a few theories before sharing them on this blog, and I’ll be using the next 12 weeks for testing and perfecting a system that I’ve been tinkering with for the past few months.
I’m looking forward to sharing my progress as I work through my goals over the 12 week period. I figured this is a good time to start something new, since I used the previous few weeks to rest and relax. Now that I’m rested and feeling motivated, diving into a project that excites me is the perfect distraction from the chaos of federal employment.
For all of those affected by the shutdown, I sincerely hope that you’re taking care of yourselves, resting, and doing things you enjoy. And, I hope you all found time to read books that give you ideas on how to create the lives you desire and deserve.
