Tim Ferriss (author of 4 Hour Work Week) writes a short bulleted blog post every Friday highlighting some of his weekly favorite reads, quotes, videos, and viral posts. Given this space is usually heavy and dark, I thought I would lighten things up a bit by doing my own spin off of Tim's Friday ritual.
Bullets you can expect to see:
1. What I'm reading:
I am all about a great read--hope to point some of the good ones your way.
2. What I'm listening to:
Music makes life sweeter; so do great podcasts. I hope to point you to some good tunes or interesting listens for those daily commutes/runs/rides,etc.
3. What made me laugh/smile this week
Laughing is good for the soul. So is smiling. A disclaimer: while I am all about the emotional stuff, laughing is one of my absolute favorite things to do. I love jokes but usually am laughing so hard I can't get the punchline out. Working on it. Also, smiling usually=I am looking at puppies, so be prepared.
4. What I'm eating:
My dad says the best thing I make are reservations so don't expect any fancy recipes. But I do love food and trying new restaurants; although I am not hip at all so expect me to behind the newest spots/trends. Case in point:
A friend recently called me to ask advice on where to go for live music and a fun atmosphere...my initial response was: Maggianos (y'all---so bad. It was that piano that is always playing that brought it to mind. I thought of other spots after this one but regretted that recommendation the moment I said it).
5. What I'm watching:
I am not a TV fan but love, love watching movies. Hope to point you to some good ones and warn you about the not so good ones.
-----------------
As always, thank you for reading. You taking the time out of your day to journey to this space makes my heart happy. And I am so darn grateful and appreciative for you.
So here we go...
1. What I'm reading: Tribes: We need you to lead us by Seth Godin. I am about half way through but am loving it. Seth is a straight shooter and one of the most concise authors out there right now. It is a great read on marketing and how to get your business to grow.
2. What I'm listening to: Ed Sheeran's "What do I know?" Don't hate on Ed-he's crazy talented. He got the attention of queen B in their performance of Drunk in Love...so I mean if she thinks he's got talent...I'm just saying, he's good.
3. What made me laugh/smile this week: Meet Nubby the boxer puppy born without front legs
4. What I'm eating:
John and I celebrated a huge milestone at Gunshow on Tuesday. It is one of our faves and is a great special occasion spot.
5. What I'm watching: The Big Sick. Real funny. But don't confuse the title when you recommend it to friends/co-workers with Big Stick...I heard you get really strange looks and responses like: "I didn't know you were into those kind of movies..."
Happy weekend, y'all!
