Every once in a while I like to share some of the things that I think have been excellent or that I am really enjoying. Today seemed like a great day to do that because I have some really great things to share right now!
What I’m Reading: Leadership & Self Deception by The Airbinger Institute. I had lunch with one of my really smart friends Dan Duckering a couple of weeks ago and he mentioned that he suggests everyone he works with reads this book. When I hear a recommendation like that I jump at it. I just finished this book and it did not disappoint! It captured me and I have noticed my worldview has been changed since reading it. I am a better human for reading this book. This book is highly recommended by me.
What I’m Listening To: NPR How I built this Podcast . This is an excellent podcast featuring all sorts of entrepreneurs and how they built their businesses. He did an extremely inspiring podcast with Blake Mycoskie, founder of Toms Shoes that I listened to several times and my kids even enjoyed listening to with me. Blake’s story is a really great story and if this doesn’t make you want to change the world, I don’t know what will.
What I Am Grateful For: Canada Geese that fly low and talk to each other, warm winter mornings, fresh air, blue Alberta skies, belly laughs, art that moves you, connection with life, horses, indoor arenas, my health, my mobility, real food, family, and friends.
Quote I Am Pondering: If you get careless or go romanticizing scientific information, giving it a flourish here and there, Nature will soon make a complete fool out of you.”

What I’m watching: Lately I have been watching more movies than normal because I am trying to stop “doing” all of the time. We went to see A Star Is Born with Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga. I am not a movie critic, but I was so impressed with the acting. Typically when you put a rock star in an acting role the performance is less than stellar, but Gaga was so believable I felt like we were getting to know the real her, and Bradley Cooper is a favourite of mine… who knew he could sing like that? This beautiful song clip will spoil the movie, so don’t watch it unless you are ok with that.
I would love to hear what you have going on or what you have found that you love. Please share in the comments. After all, sharing is caring
