#CHOOSEMUST
It's Friday! We're looking back on a week full of inspiration. Hope you are, too!
Check out The Crossroads of Should and Must. This hardcover book is meant to be held, dog-eared, read and reread. Written by artist and designer, Elle Luna, each and every page is art, color and inspiration.
If you're facing a big decision, wishing for change, but unsure if it's right or just need a reminder that you're on the right path, read this book!
We're inspired by the podcast This Is Love. Created by the Criminal podcast team, these are deeply personal, quirky, funny, tragic and awe-inspiring stories of all types of love. In a time when we don't hear much about love and connection, these stories give me the warm and fuzzies (and a few tears).
One of my favorites is Episode 2, Something Wild and Large, about a 17-year old swimmer who encounters a baby grey whale in the Pacific Ocean.
We're also listening to our own podcast, Episode 7: Jen Sincero's 10 Secrets to Badassery. The big idea:
YOU...
You are a Badass
That's right! We said it.
You. Are. A. BADASS!
If you need a little reminder, refresher or reinforcement of how badass you really are, read Jen Sincero's books, You Are A Badass & You Are A Badass At Making Money.
We are still fan-girling over Jen's talk this week at super awesome Watermark Books in Wichita.
She was irreverent, honest, sarcastic and inspiring - all the things you'd hope for in an author who titles chapters: Love the One You Is, Your Brain is Your Bitch and Gratitude: The Gateway Drug to Awesomeness.
I keep a copy of Jen's 10 Secrets to Being a Badass in my office. Here are 3 of my favorites:
- Leap Large - Take risks. All the time. Big, hairy, scary ones. Thrilling and terrifying are opposite sides of the same coin - if you're serious about changing your life, you will be feeling them both. Often. They are excellent signs that you're on the right path. When you get an intuitive hit to do something scary, run straight towards it before the excuses start...
