I insist that it is impartial, genuine and curated for the precise individual reading this mass email. Truly, I do intend to act on my own recommendations.
In jest, this is a brief update on our family with a bonus list of items that are currently working for me.
Before Ann and Christy arrive next week, we plan to clean the bathrooms, wash the windows and pull out some air mattresses. (Only the necessities.)
Dan and I complete our riding lessons this week, Mary has a track meet and Abe is in an entrepreneurship fair- he'll be baking 40 loaves of bread to sell to second graders.
Next week, I start a 17 week course at Harvard, (that's pronounced with a round 'a' as in "haw-vawd"). Sounds prestigious, but it's simply an online course that will demand 10 hours per week of my leisure time.
I do have some book recommendations for those who have more time than myself:
The Diamond Cutter
Breaking Down Patriarchy (Podcast)
The Armchair Expert (Podcast)
The Lessons of History by Will Durant
Braving the Wilderness by Brene Brown
I would like to point out that the Six-times Journal, from the Diamond Cutter has been extremely transformative the last month as I've been working on some behavioural tendencies. I feel so thankful for the incremental progress I see in my children. I'm still working on a major overhaul myself.
Another helpful routine is sleep. Apparently 4-5 hours is not enough to maintain adequate brain power for the remainder of the day, but a sweet 7 hours is proving sufficient.
In short, get some sleep, take your vitamins and read a good book.
