In aflevering 3 van seizoen 2 van Liefteratuur spreek ik met feelgoodauteur Hilde Veeren. Afgelopen zomer verscheen Hildes eerste roman, Duinroos: een cosy romance (ook wel cosy feelgood), deel 1 in de Cottage aan zee-serie. Inmiddels is het tweede deel, Maretak, ook verschenen en werkt ze aan deel 3.Daarnaast is ze ook nog eens hoofdredacteur van Elegance én Happy in Shape, dus ik was benieuwd: hoe zorgt Hilde ervoor dat ze tijd heeft om te schrijven aan haar boeken? En wat heeft ze met Engeland (en specifiek Somerset, de plek waar de Cottage aan zee-serie zich afspeelt)? Hilde heeft antwoord op al mijn vragen, én meer!Boeken die in deze aflevering worden genoemd en/of besproken:• Duinroos en Maretak, deel 1 en 2 in de Cottage aan zee-serie van Hilde Veeren• De bruggen van Madison County, van Robert James Waller• On writing van Stephen King (in het Nederlands verschenen als Over leven en schrijven)• De schelpenzoekers van Rosamunde Pilcher• De Talisman van Dominique Lap• Het zoutpad van Raynor Winn• The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society van Mary Ann Shaffer en Annie Barrows (in het Nederlands verschenen als Het literaire aardappelschiltaart genootschap van Guernsey)

Thank you!“It all started with Miss Prim.For many years, I was convinced of a tragic lie: that novels were lesser things than non-fiction. In my youth, a novel was a school assignment to trudge through, because some conclave of intellectuals blessed it with merit. At best, the story within would relate to some "real" thing of interest. This conviction became less of one over time. And it changed completely in January when the ancient widow character in The Awakening of Miss Prim shook my depths. From there I began novel reading for pleasure; to soften all the hardness; to elevate the soul.I am not a speedy reader, but I managed 13 novels this year. I painted a little painting for each book, which I happily display here.” -Kelly CurtisFeatured books in this episode:* The Great Divorce CS Lewis* The Screwtape Letters by CS Lewis* The Awakening of Miss Prim: A Novel by Natalia Sanmartin Fenollera * Little Women by Louisa May Alcott* Anne of Green Gables by LM Montgomery* Jane Austen's books* Echo Mountain by Lauren Wolk* Far From the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy* The Scent of Water by Elizabeth Goudge * The Dean's Watch by Elizabeth Goudge* Skyward Novellas by Brandon Sanderson* Lord of the Rings by J.

Douglas* Thomas Becket: Warrior, Priest, Rebel by John Guy* The Histories of Earth series by Steven J. Carroll with Joel Froomkin (Narrator) Further information now that I've finished the series: book four does have some “religious content” in that they meet a society founded by Ancient Romans and tell them the history that came since Ancient times on Earth including the downfall of their Empire and the influence of Christianity in that time. They are all appalled (lol) to have ever become a monotheistic society. It does not proselytize. I loved this series and cannot recommend it highly enough! * Enchantress from the Stars by Sylvia Engdahl * The Confessions, Revised: Saint Augustine (The Works of Saint Augustine: A Translation for the 21st Century, Vol. 1) by Augustine and Maria Boulding (Translator)* The Julian Messner Shelf of Biographies- Link is to our printable series list* The Story of Clara Barton of the Red Cross by Jeannette Covert Nolan * Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsk Kelly's other covers from last year:Thanks for listening!

We've got one of our favorite topics this week, the book was better. Each book was turned into a tv show, one we've seen and one we haven't, but we're certain the books are better! Kristia branched out with a historical fiction read, and the whole story is written in the form of letters. Set shortly after the second world war, this story is full of enjoyable characters that make it hard to set down. Rachael found out her book is closer to a spy novel than she expect. She's got a flight attendant with a drinking problem, who probably didn't kill that guy, but she doesn't listen to her lawyer. Note: it's usually best to take your lawyer's advise.

Was liest eigentlich eine Bibliothekarin? Wo blüht der Zitrangenbaum? Und wo fanden Autoren wie Arthur Schnitzler und Karl Kraus ihre Ideen? Antworten gibt es in der neuen Folge des Bücherpodcasts. Kaffeehausgefühl im Podcaststudio: Daniel erweckt mit österreichischem Quarkkuchen das Wien von Arthur Schnitzler und Karl Kraus zum Leben. Die Bestsellerchallenge führt die Hosts über das Mittelmeer, in das Land, wo die Zitrangenbäume blüh'n. Jan schwärmt aber lieber von einer literarischen Reise nach Afghanistan. Zu Gast ist diesmal die Leiterin der Hamburger Öffentlichen Bücherhallen, Frauke Untiedt, die erzählt, dass Bibliotheken längst nicht mehr der Ort sind, in dem eine strenge Bibliothekarin für Stille sorgt. Im Gegenteil: Klaviermusik und Diskussionen bei Chips und Cola sind ausdrücklich erwünscht. Also: Tüte auf und guten Appetit. Die Bücher dieser Folge 00:01:14 Nicole Giger: "Ferrante, Frisch und Fenchelkraut" (AT Verlag) 00:04:37 Leïla Slimani: "Das Land der Anderen" (Luchterhand) 00:14:26 Tomasz Jedrowski: "Im Wasser sind wir schwerelos" (Hoffmann und Campe) 00:18:29 Donal Ryan: "Die Stille des Meeres" (Diogenes) 00:41:48 Mary Ann Shaffer: "Deine Juliet" (btb) 00:46:35 Khaled Hosseini: "Drachenläufer" (Fischer Taschenbuch Verlag) Das Rezept für Quarkkuchen wie im Wiener Kaffeehaus Zutaten Für den Boden: 150 g Haferkekse 30 g gebrannte Mandeln 60 g Butter, geschmolzen Für die Quarkmasse: 4 Eigelb 25 g Butter (weich) 250 g Zucker 1 kg Magerquark 4 EL Grieß 1 Päckchen Vanillezucker 4 Eiweiß 1 Prise Salz Für das Topping: 30 g gebrannte Mandeln 50 g Pekannüsse 2 EL Ahornsirup 250 g Brombeeren Zubereitung Haferkekse und Mandeln in einem Plastikbeutel mit einem Nudelholz fein zerbröseln, mit der Butter vermischen und diesen Teig dann in einer gefetteten Springform auf dem Boden mit einem Löffel andrücken. Die Eigelbe mit dem Zucker und der Butter schaumig rühren, dann den Magerquark, den Grieße und den Vanillezucker daruntermischen. Das Eiweiß mit einer Prise Salz steif schlagen und unter die Quarkmasse heben. Das Ganze dann in die Springform gießen und ab in den Backofen: eine Stunde bei 170 Grad auf der mittleren Schiene mit Umluft. Backofentür geschlossen halten und auch im Ofen auskühlen lassen. Für das Topping Mandeln und Nüsse kleinhacken, mit 1 Esslöffel Ahonrsirup vermischen und dann auf einem Backblech mit Backpapier bei 120 Grad 20 Minuten rösten. Die Brombeeren mit einem weiteren Esslöffel Ahornsirup bei geringer Hitze zwei Minuten lang köcheln. Den Kuchen am Besten im Kühlschrank aufbewahren, und das Topping aus Früchten und Nüssen erst beim Servieren drübergeben. Feedback, Anregungen und Ideen? Her damit! Wer Feedback geben oder eigene Lieblingsbücher nennen möchte, der erreicht die drei Hosts per E-Mail unter eatreadsleep@ndr.de. Der Podcast wird alle 14 Tage freitags um 6 Uhr veröffentlicht und läuft als Gemeinschaftsprojekt unter der NDR Dachmarke - zu hören und hier zu abonnieren - oder aber in der ARD-Audiothek.

It goes without saying that you can be a book lover whether you read 1 book a year or 200. But those book lovers who consume books like the potato chips no one can resist, reading over 100 books a year, are a little unique. We couldn't be happier to welcome Jacqui Daves Isser to the show. Jacqui is a middle school librarian who lives outside Austin TX but she is also a "super reader". She read 168 books last year and is on track to read more in 2021. If middle grade literature needed a spokesperson to tell adults why they should add it to their reading rotation, Jacqui is their girl.

Book Vs Movie The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (Replay) The Story Behind the 2008 Novel & the 2018 Movie Are you ready for a little 1940s weepy? The Margos sure are as they talk about the novel The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society that was started by Mary Ann Shaffer who brought on her niece Annie Barrows to help her finish when she became ill. Shaffer spent some time fogged in at the airport on the island of Guernsey which is located by the English Channel. After checking their local bookstore she found out the island was occupied by the Germans in World War 2 and she became obsessed with the idea of placing a historical fiction story based there. The novel is told in an epistolary format and features an array of intriguing characters who come together under terrible circumstances and create their own magical world. Taking place in 1946, London-based writer Juliet Ashton is stymied on what to write after her last book was a disappointment in sales. After starting a correspondence with a group of book club members based in Guernsey she impulsively decides to visit the island and her life is upended by the power of love. The film is from director Mike Newell and at the time of this recording, is streaming on Netflix. So between the novel and the movie--which did we like better? Click the link at the bottom to find out. In this ep the Margos discuss: The backstory of how Mary Ann Shaffer and her niece Annie Barrows collaborated to bring the novel to life.

A question I get asked often is, "How do you plan your day and keep track of everything in an organized manner?" Well, in this week's episode of The Crystal Paine Show, Jesse and I not only share what's saving our lives and talk about books we are reading, but we also give you an insider look into how we each plan our days. Jesse’s time management plan is a little more detailed than mine, but it works for him. He uses his Appigo app, his Michael Hyatt Full Focus Journal, and our family Google calendar to keep his tasks in order. For me, keeping three separate calendars would feel like overkill, but it works well for him. I like using my Google Calendar to brain dump all of the tasks and the activities for those tasks into one place. I share how I use a hybrid system of Google calendar + a time-blocked to do list and talk about why this works so well for me. Oh and I also talk about one tip that makes such a difference that I was a little embarrassed to admit until I saw that Cal Newport does it, too! In This Episode: [00:26] - Welcome back to the show! We share about our recent trip to Georgia, our time at Sweetwater Creek State Park, and my Mastermind one-day event. [05:31] - What’s saving our lives? Jesse: Appigo, his to-do list app. Mine: our electric tea kettle! [07:54] - Jesse’s reading The E-Myth Real Estate Investor. I just finished The Last Christmas in Paris. [11:51] - Today we wanted to share how we plan our days, especially since summer is almost over! [16:24] - With his 3 different calendars, how is Jesse not duplicating work/tasks? [17:25] - Learn why I love using Google Calendar to brain dump my day! [19:00] - While I don’t usually use my calendar for everyday tasks when I’m developing a habit I set a daily reminder. [20:39] - In the evening, I block out my time for the next day. [21:48] - My one not-so-minimalist habit is re-writing my task list halfway through the day and I share the three reasons why I think this is so helpful. [26:02] - Set realistic timeframes for the tasks on your list and start simple. [27:35] - Download my PDF on how I plan my days with Google calendar.

Taking place in 1946, London-based writer Juliet Ashton is stymied on what to write after her last book was a disappointment in sales. After starting a correspondence with a group of book club members based in Guernsey she impulsively decides to visit the island and her life is upended by the power of love. The film is from director Mike Newell and at the time of this recording, is streaming on Netflix. So between the novel and the movie--which did we like better?

Kaytee and Meredith are so excited to get back into our discussion this week that we have a hard time keeping our bookish opinions to ourselves. You’ll hear a “bookish moment of the week” from each of the hosts: meeting a book resolution and a happy abundance of book mail. Next, we discuss our current reads. We have some very seriously large opinions about our books this week. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like for Meredith to get spicy, you’re in luck! This episode was recorded on Valentine’s Day, so… since we had love on the brain, we took a left turn and went with a deep dive on things we “hate” about books! As always, we finish up with A Book (yep, capitalized) - but this week is a couple of great series - that we’d like to press into every reader’s hands: these books have been mentioned over and over again on the podcast, but due to some heinous oversight, we haven’t ever pressed them into your hands! As per usual, time-stamped show notes are below with references to every book and resource we mentioned in this episode.

While Kaytee vacations this week, Meredith holds down the podcast fort with a special guest co-host. Mary Heim is an online bookish friend of both of us (and I can freely admit that I am SO jealous she got to record with Mary and I didn’t). You’ll hear a “bookish moment of the week” from each of the hosts: a sweet pregnancy reading moment, and bonding over husbands who read. Next, the ladies discuss what they are currently reading, and this week includes a thousand books that you’ll want to reach for ASAP. I had a hard time restraining myself. In Mary’s deep dive, we get to learn about her reading life. Childhood reads to the way her adult reading life developed. It’s a walk down memory lane for your childhood reading memories. I can almost guarantee you’ll love it.

Amanda and Jenn answer holiday gift requests in this week's episode of Get Booked! This episode is sponsored by Penguin Random House Audio and Book Riot Insiders. Questions 1. Hello, I’m looking for a book recommendation for my friend. She has been going through complicated, heartbreaking separation and has had a tough few years. She’s always been an avid reader and recently mentioned to me that she thinks she’d like to read a sweet, hopeful love story. I really want to find her something like this for Christmas. Originally I suggested When Dimple Met Rishi and the Kiss Quotient to her, but she’s older than I am and I don’t know how much she would enjoy YA, and I don’t think she’d go for a true romance novel. One of her favourite books is Practical Magic, she also loves Kate Morton books, historical fiction and classics. Please could you suggest a heartwarming love story for my friend, bonus points for historical fiction or witches. Thanks --Emily 2. Hi! I absolutely love your podcast, as well as all the other Bookriot podcasts! For holiday presents this year I am gifting basically everyone in my family with books, as we are a family of avid readers. I'm pretty good with picking out books for everyone, except my brother. Lately we have also gotten in some heated debates regarding feminism. I was hoping you could give some suggestions for a non fiction book that addresses feminism and is backed by lots of cold hard facts, in a not too aggressive way if possible. I am hoping a book will get him to open his mind more to the struggles still facing women. Any feedback is appreciated, thanks again! --Liza 3. I'm planning a trip to Egypt this Christmas (2018) to get my fill of the sites there. Can you recommend some books, both fiction and non, that will help whet my appetite for my trips? I'm open to all stages of Egyptian history. I have already read the whole Elizabeth Peters 'Amelia Peabody' mysteries a couple of times and loved them. I would prefer to avoid dry boring histories and accounts for something a bit engaging especially as I tend to read to relax and don't want to have to think too much. Bonus points for anything easily available by ebook or audiobook as I live in a country where libraries and bookstores with English books are limited in selection. --Beth 4. Dear Amanda and Jenn I heard your nudge on your last episode to get Christmas recommendations in ASAP and I was spurred into action, especially as I have a two-fer if possible. The first is for a friend of mine. He asked me to find some book ideas to give to his sister for Christmas. She likes ‘books where women move to Cornwall or wherever and open a bakery or something and maybe fall in love’. She has read everything by: Lucy diamond, Jenny Colgan and Cathy Bramley He wants to find her something new, possibly someone with a big catalogue of books for her to keep reading if she likes it. The second is for me. Last year you recommended ‘Pride and Prejudice and Mistletoe’, I think in your Jane Austen episode, and it was the last book I read in 2017. I LOVED it and it was the perfect light end-of-Christmas read. It was my first Christmas contemporary romance and I’m hoping you can find me another. Jane Austen connection welcome but not necessary. I normally read regency romances so that’s fine too, just something light and Christmassy to close off my year. Just FYI I hated Austenland. I’m in England so UK availability is a must for both. Thanks so much! --Kim 5. Hi! in Ep. 147 you recommended "River of Teeth" by Sarah Gailey which I bought for my boyfriend-- immediately-- like as I was listening to the show because he loves Hippos. Idk, it's a childhood thing that has morphed into an adult thing. Anyhow, he's obsessed with the book, he's almost finished. I actually bought "American Hippo", so he could read the whole series & stories. He can't stop talking about it! This makes me so happy! For Christmas, we are getting each other a book and chocolate instead of traditional gifts. I'm nervous because I hit it so out of the park on this book that any other book may be a let down. Can you help recommend another fun, romp of a book? It doesn't have to have hippos, lol. He's into Thrillers, Adventures, Fantasy (but while he watches High Fantasy, I've never seen him read it), Sci-fi. He loves Neil Gaiman and Murakami. He mainly gravitates towards shorter books & graphic novels. If you could recommend by early December that would be great! I really appreciate it. PS. Also, I LOVE your show because I always find the best recs for me/friends/family. In a sidebar, I sent my bff "The Book of the Unnamed Midwife" because she's a Doula and she is obsessed. --Kate 6. Hey there! I love your show and look forward to it every week! Ever since I started listening I can hardly keep up with my TBR list, my library holds list has gotten bonkers and I couldn't be happier! So thank you :) I am writing because I need some help getting a book for my husband for Christmas. We are both avid readers and started a new tradition last year that on Christmas Eve we give each other a book and spend the night reading and eating chocolate. He loves high fantasy and grim dark stories which are a bit out of my wheelhouse (I don't tend to like to go as dark as he does). He loves Brandon Sanderson's The Stormlight Archive and has read absolutely everything by Brian McClellan and Mark Lawrence. He also recently read Patrick Rothfuss (Kingkiller Chronicles) and loved it too. He also has really enjoyed The Magicians Trilogy by Lev Grossman and loved Ready Player One (neither of which are grim dark obviously). I'd like to get him something that he maybe hasn't heard of that will really knock his socks off! Looking forward to your suggestions! --MJ 7. My husband told me that for Christmas this year, he wants books (yay!). He specifically asked for a series that has at least 3 books already published, the longer the better. He doesn't read as often as I do, but when he does, he can tear through books/series very quickly, so when I say long, I mean loooooong. He's really into "high fantasy," especially Brandon Sanderson, Robert Jordan, and Terry Goodkind. He also likes sci-fi and other types of fantasy, and sometimes reads big-name thriller writers like Stephen King and James Patterson. A while ago, I bought him the A Darker Shade of Magic series, which he devoured, and for Christmas this year I would like to introduce him to a new (to him) author/series that is somewhat in his wheelhouse, but maybe expand his horizons a little bit (ideally something not written by a white man and with main characters who are not white men). Thanks for your help, --Rebekah Books Discussed How Long 'til Black Future Month? by N.K.

A Mikel Santiago le estamos siguiendo la pista desde que publicó La última noche de Tremore Beach. No nos ha decepcionado con las siguientes entregas, y ahora tampoco con La isla de las últimas voces, donde nos transporta a una isla que está a punto de quedarse aislada por culpa de un temporal. Y no falta una caja misteriosa. Suspense e intriga para una novela que se va a convertir en best seller, sin duda. Ya lo fue El médico, de Noah Gordon. Publicada hace más de 30 años, regresa a la actualidad gracias a un musical. El autor del libre, Félix Amador, nos contó mil detalles del montaje y de su devoción absoluta a Noah Gordon, que ha dado las bendiciones al proyecto.El conflicto vasco ha llevado a Patria, de Fernando Aramburu, a ser una de las novelas de la década. Un ángulo diferente, con tres personajes que entrecruzan sus voces, nos propone Luisa Etxenike en Absoluta presencia. Una lectura muy recomendable.Y atención a esta novela, adaptada al cine: La sociedad literaria y el pastel de patata de Guernsey, de Mary Ann Shaffer y Annie Barrows, publicada por Salamandra. Un acto de amor a los libros.Y hasta hablamos del Premio Planeta. 642 novelas pelean por el premio mejor pagado en el universo nacional de las letras. Carlos Ruiz Zafón cerró la saga del Cementerio de los Libros Olvidados con El laberinto de los espíritus, que tiene ahora nueva (y barata) edición.

The Simple Sophisticate - Intelligent Living Paired with Signature Style
"One of the greatest challenges we all face is to find a happy balance between the opportunities that are available to us, the media-implanted urge to have them all, and our own desire to keep focused on the things that really matter." —Elaine St. James in Living The Simple Life: A Guide to Scaling Down and Enjoying More Momentum is a powerful source of energy, and even though I am far from being a physicist, I understand the basic concept that since all objects have mass, and if an object is moving, it will have momentum, thus power/energy. We are objects of energy when we keep our schedules and lives running. Whatever pace you are moving at currently, if it is a pace you have become accustomed to for some time, it is easier to keep moving along at this pace than it is to slow down, even to speed up. As we begin Season 5 of the The Simple Sophisticate podcast today (check out the full schedule of episodes here), many of us are stepping back into a full schedule, or at least one slightly different from the previous season. Whether it is simply a busier schedule due to clients and staff returning from their holidays, or perhaps you as well, the pace tends to pick up, and if we aren't careful or conscious, we can move along with this energy without realizing that it may not work well for the balance we know is best. Now, granted, the pace you are stepping back into may be something you relish and works well; in this case, savor it, but simply be conscious of the energy that rolls forward and is easy to become swept up in without our being aware. If, however, the pace that fall (or the new season) brings is something you wish to shift, to improve, I have some ideas about how to instill a new pace of momentum that works best for your life. For the third time I read Elaine St. James' Living the Simple Life (1996), and it was upon reading it this summer that a few ideas she shared jumped out at me that had not previously. Most predominantly, taking a full month to live your life differently as a way to assess what you really need and determine what is helpful and what is actually hindering the quality of your life. As I read this, I recognized my own experience having had the opportunity to travel in France for an entire month this summer. During this time, as I shared in a couple of blog posts (Doubt the Default: How My Trip to France Woke Me Up, episode #218 and Why Not . . . Let Your Brain Calm Down?), the clarity I gained about what was helping and was was obstructing the quality of my life was illuminated. But upon reflection, it was the duration of the trip that enabled this to be more readily recognizable. Partly, this was because after spending four weeks in another culture, you are more acclimated than you realize, and so upon returning, there is an element of shock to your system (at least there was for me due to my fondness for the French culture). However, I am confident that we do not need to 'get away' to another country to have the same experience. As a teacher, each summer I feel I am given this opportunity to reassess what is working and what isn't, but it is my choice to reflect and then put into place the changes I realize would be beneficial. So here's the challenge and the opportunity - for one entire month, make one, some or all of the following changes to your lifestyle as inspired by Elaine St. James and my own experience and observations to free up more time in your life to do what you love or do nothing at all, simple to relax, sleep more, dream more, savor time with loved ones more, simply live as you please. With the month's conclusion, take an hour or a morning or an afternoon and reassess to see what differences (positive or negative) you experienced. Arrive at work either earlier or later than you do now, and then either stay earlier or later than you do now. In other words, shift when you are at work to try to find more productive hours, but do not stay longer than you currently do in total. Get up an hour earlier. While this may require of you to go to bed earlier, observe how the day begins when you give yourself breathing room to savor having more control in how you set the tone for the day. Remember it's just for one month. Stop watching the news. While this doesn't mean you don't have to stay informed as you can read or listen to the news, observe how no longer being the passenger when it comes to news viewing affects your attitude, assumptions and stress levels. But you may want to take it step further and . . . Stop reading or listening to the news (just for one month!) to see what differences may arise due to the absence of perpetual information. Change your exercise regimen. If you work out regularly in the afternoon, try working out in the mornings and observe how you go about your day and what it feels like to have the evenings free. If you attend classes in the morning, try taking them in the evening instead. Turn off the television. (posts to read - Why Not . . . Watch Less Television? and Why Not . . . Master the Television?) Take a couple of personal or sick days. Talk to your boss to restructure your work days (just for one month) to four 10 hour work days instead of five 8 hour work days if this is an option. Spend an entire weekend without making/attending any social or family commitments and give yourself permission to just do what speaks to you. If you can do this for more than one weekend during this month of assessment, you might begin to see helpful trends of what refuels and replenishes you. Eliminate all shopping except necessities such as groceries and vital personal items. Don't feel obligated to clean each week. Instead pick up each day as you go and clean every other week. Observe at the end of the month if this is possible. Take a bath when the mood strikes - morning, middle of the day, etc. If possible, give yourself a long window of no appointments right after lunch as your energy begins to recharge from the fuel of food and the midday break. (This book, which was a Petit Plaisir in episode #194, explains the timing of our days and when we are most productive.) Simplify meals - use the capsule menu approach. Make sure your épicerie is stocked and challenge yourself to shop and cook seasonally. Stop using social media on designated days (the weekend) or every evening after [select a time]. Be stricter than you might think you will do after the month; by doing so, you will be able to see if you actually notice a positive difference in your mood, time saved, etc. Stay off the phone (texting or talking) except for emergencies for the entire month for making plans to meet in person. Sounds extreme, but often we welcome more internal stress with the conversations we have that are not face to face. Yes, a work-around is to use social media, but if this at all sounds tempting (to go text and talk-free), take the challenge and observe any differences in your stress levels. Potentially the quality of conversations may improve as you spend more time face-to-face. Spend a weekend or a day (or even just an afternoon) somewhere that will feel like an escape from the old habits that you are trying to tweak. Upon traveling to this destination, turn the phone off and be fully present, engage, revel and celebrate. Observe what feels good about where you are and the pace of the day(s). Initially this list may seem impossible, but remember, it is only for one month, AND choose what piques your interest. Again, remind yourself as you begin the month with anything that may be difficult, It is only for one month. For one month I didn't watch the news, and by doing this, it made it far simpler to return to the states and not turn it on at home. As I mentioned last week, how I have adjusted is to watch the NBR (Nightly Business Report) and read a daily brief each morning. Anything else is quite jarring to me, far more than I recognized prior to my trip. The key for the changes you seek to become more comfortable is to give yourself this one month of practice or living or doing without. This is where momentum comes into play. It is very hard to shift gears as behaviors become habituated, even behaviors that are not helpful. And so when we initially begin to change the habit or behavior, we think the difficulty is due to it not being what is best. However, in truth, it is simple science - anything new, any shift of energy is slow and awkward until it gets going at a good and steady pace. Give yourself the full month to make the shift and redirect your momentum. When we discover that the blue sky was deeply blue today, far more than it was last week, we realize the pace we had been living previously was not allowing us the ability to be present, to observe and to appreciate. Such appreciation is part of improving the quality of our lives. And when we return after the month we challenged ourselves to above and begin to watch some television for example, we do so more discerningly, more thoughtfully, as we now recognize that indeed what we watch indirectly affects our emotions. May in one month's time, you have more free time and therefore a life of increased quality. ~SIMILAR POSTS/EPISODES FROM THE ARCHIVES YOU MIGHT ENJOY: Quality Thoughts = Quality Life Why Not . . .

Crabb's faulty oven catches fire at an inconvenient time and such is her incandescent rage that she goes on a social media rant at the manufacturer. Sales, seeing an opportunity to soothe her friend, turns to the piano and writes a new and more appropriate jingle for the oven company. We have chosen to bleep out the name of company involved to protect the not-so-innocent. Oh and Crabb has finally gotten around to watching a few episodes of The Handmaid's Tale.

The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society has been an extraordinary success all over the world, topping bestseller lists and in some sense putting Guernsey 'on the map'. On this podcast Annie Barrows, the book's co-author, talks about how her aunt, Mary Ann Shaffer, became interested in the German Occupation, her deep sadness that Mary Ann didn't live to see publication and success, and how she feels about the response to the book, both around the world and in Guernsey.
