listen, walk, breath

Sending virtual hugs to everyone!

And a warm welcome to our new members from around the world.

When the day comes that it’s safe to gather again, it would be fun to create themed book club parties for each of the audiobooks we listened to this round. For example, what drinks would you serve at a book club gathering for Becoming? Michelle Obama likes a dry martini, so maybe beverages would be served in martini glasses. Tea with milk for The Testaments? What would you serve for Daisy Jones and The House We Grew Up In? Please chime in and add your ideas.

Here are a few post highlights from the week:

For stress management

Shifting the focus to positive may be a wee bit more challenging for some of us with current challenges.

The “Three Blessings and Why” exercise is a proven technique to increase a thriving mindset.

Go beyond simply writing down three things you’re grateful for in your day. Take the next step and write down “why” they happened. When you recognize the “why,” you begin to realize the energy and effort you put into stimulating “positives.'”

Members are appreciating the healthy distraction The Walking Book Club provides, and their dogs are happy, too.

A reminder in closing:

P.S. — Consider using LibroFM for your audiobooks and supporting your local bookshop.
