Mr. Fleece takes his exam this Wednesday & as always, we are praying for God's kindness & mercy for him to pass! These exams are brutal - 300+ study hours, 40% pass rate, & a truck load of information and formulas to cram in to your brain. Will be excited when we're out of this season!
WATCH
One morning I walked Ebony along Alki Beach & watched several TED talks/Youtube videos by Brene Brown about her extensive research on the topic of shame. She is an engaging, authentic, & funny speaker. I'd recommend taking a peek at her presentations & reflecting on how shame has impacted you. I also just started to read her book, "I thought it was Just me (but it isn't): Making the Journey from 'What Will People Think?' to 'I am Enough'."
READ
I'm such a word of mouth girl. Sometimes I'll do a bit of research on my own, but that is a rare occasion...much to the dismay of Mr. Fleece! Whether it's what to make for dinner, where to go for dinner, what & how to plant in our garden (so that we can one day eat it for dinner)...you get the picture. This is also true for what I read - sometimes I'll go back to the classics (I just finished Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen) but often, I'm reading a book that someone mentioned or recommended in passing. I'm looking forward to starting The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin per a friend's suggestion. I'm going in blind - no idea what it's about!
EAT
I've actually been cooking a bunch this month! My friend LN & I made a batch of of Hawaiian Fried Rice. I liked it so much I made it again for Mr. Fleece & myself a few days later : ) can't go wrong with a combo like rice + mushrooms + green onions + ground sausage + bell pepper + pineapple + eggs + avocado.
LISTEN
I went to a concert last night at the Sunset Tavern & fell for Mimi Gilbert. I love her folksy singer songwriter style & she was very adorable & raw in person. Glad I discovered her music. My two favorites on the album are "Genevieve" & "Daily Glacier"
Enjoying the today & now,
