September Favorites The end of September is upon us, and there are a bunch of random things I want to share with you. Not all of them are worthy of an entire post, so I thought maybe I could do this at the end of each month to recap some fun things I’ve been into lately. I am loving the SkyFit audio fitness app! My friend recommended it to me (thank you Becca!) and I have been using it quite a bit when I… Read more »

I learned about “The Obstacle is the Way” through podcast interviews with the author, Ryan Holiday. After listening to interviews… Read more »

I think the clinical look of the cover made me think it was going to be boring and perhaps over my head. After coming to the realization that there had to be some pretty valuable content for the book to have the longevity it is having, I finally started reading it. I’m so glad… Read more »
