Best Thing I Heard All Week: Sally Hogshead on The Unmistakable Creative

The best thing I heard this week was guest Sally Hogshead on The Unmistakable Creative podcast.

Happier Podcast with Gretchen Rubin

Best Thing I Heard All Week – Happier with Gretchen Rubin

The best thing I heard this week was Episode 61 of the Happier Podcast with Gretchen Rubin.

Best Thing I’ve Heard All Week – Favorite Podcast Episode

As I outlined in THIS post, I am an avid podcast listener. I think avid is a nicer way to describe someone rather than obsessive, crazy or junkie, right? Let’s go with avid.

My 2016 Reading List

My 2016 Reading List

A new year has me looking forward to new reads, so I recently decided to compile my 2016 reading list to share with you. For me, part of the fun of reading and learning is the anticipation and excitement of getting a new book in my hands.  I get most of my book ideas from listening to podcasts, whether the guests be the authors of the books, or titles that a guest may have mentioned. Usually, if I hear about a book from… Read more »
