This year I started reading..for fun. (for the first time in 8 years?!). I’m not a reader. Dare I say, at times, I’ve said, “I hate reading,” but I found a crazy good deal on a Kindle during Black Friday and intentionally purchased Kindle Unlimited (it’s an investment!) to force myself to read more. I started putting my Kindle right next to my bed and reading one chapter of a book a night. It’s honestly been great. I’ve found some new passions…such as sailing, recipe testing, and comedy, that all came from the books I’ve read.
My favorite has been “Escape from the Ordinary” from Julie Bradley. She and her husband decided they wanted to sail around the world, and they have some amazing stories to tell! I really like it because it’s changed the way I think about the world, diving into my passions and taking the plunge to do something new. It has also helped at work a ton - I now relate to my colleagues in new ways and am willing to test new things out..even if they might not work out perfectly.
Do you have any new hobbies or book recs from the last couple of years?
