Read with Me

I love books! I love the written word. I used to devour them at the rate of one a week. My favorite genre is romance, particularly historical romance. Yes, I would kill a good period-error romance. One day, I will tell you of my introduction to books and how I even wrote a few. I still fancy myself an undiscovered talent. In my mind, I just haven't written the book that has led to my discovery as of yet.

Unfortunately, I have fallen off of reading and have been meaning to get back into it. It is one of my most favorite things to do and brings me great pleasure. Whenever you can engage in something so simple that brings you joy, you should. It is a great stress reliever for me and for some reason, I have not been able to get back into it like I wanted to. If I could even read one book a month that would be great. 

My lack of reading though has not stopped me from purchasing books to add to my library. I am happy that I expanded myself to reading more nonfiction too. There was a time when I would not touch a nonfiction book. However I love learning new things, so I will take on a nonfiction book that is of interest. Libby the library app helps me get through them as well. I listen to more nonfiction books but I am proud of myself because, in the past, I would not even do that. 

I reveal all this to ask for assistance. I want you all to be my accountability partners. How? Well, I am going to start a book club and do a live reading once a week. This will help me get over a couple of things. People have been telling me that I should do videos for my reviews. Eeek. I hate doing videos. But I will challenge myself to go live for my readings to get more comfortable. Talk with you all and read a book. Exciting. 

So join my Read With Me Book Club. I plan to read all types of stuff. The first session is on Christmas eve. Probably won't have any takers but I'll be live at 7:30PM.

Do Something Different

Do something different. Shake your life up a bit. Our brains are funny little 3 pound masses that can take us for a loop and we are still learning so much about it. As much as I enjoy having a routine in my life because it gives me the illusion of having control, variety is also key for cognitive health. Soomi Lee, PhD, assistant professor in the USF College of Behavior and Community Sciences reports "findings suggest that active and engaged lifestyles with diverse and regular activities are essential for our cognitive health." I am not a regular baker but I wanted to do something different. I have not baked in quite some time and I probably won't even eat all the cake but it was a fun and different activity to do. So even if you do not do something drastic. Shaking things up even a little bit can help change the trajectory of your thought, attitude and day.  Article Source:  Variety and consistency are essential to keep the mind health My related Tiktok below @wandatob

Redirect Your Focus away from Lizzo

Redirect Your Focus away from Lizzo Scroll down to listen to the podcast here Recently a comedian has been under fire for making hurtful comments toward the artist Lizzo about her weight. Aries Spears in an attempt to be funny mocks Lizzo about her weight and her looks. He also goes on to say that he can get away with being a big dude and women cannot. He then attempts to pivot in a spectacular show of hypocrisy that instead of supporting her expressions of confidence women should be pointing out potential health issues linked with obesity. Sir! What are you doing? I really wanted to take this opportunity to point out that we as a people, as a nation should be less focused on individuals and more on the industry that’s putting crappy overprocessed foods on the shelves. They are appealing to our need for convenience. They are using science and psychology to influence us to buy these crappy foods. And let's face it, who doesn’t love a good sweet or salty snack or fast food that we ca

Bust Off That Gut With the Insanity Workout By Carl Barton It can be quite the dizzying experience trying to find the right workout regimen when a person decides to get back into shape. In many cases, it takes a high level of commitment to stay on track with whatever kind physical of activity and/or diet that is chosen. For people who truly desire results and have a high motor, the Insanity Workout could be the right option for a variety of reasons. The Insanity Workout is a high energy workout routine that works on the interval training method. The interval method stresses a period of high activity followed by a period of low activity. This is the key to workout regimen because it warms up muscles, builds them up, and acts as a lactic acid conditioner. By building up a lactic acid tolerance, muscles become stronger while building up someone's endurance.
