pickI finished this one a few days ago. I enjoyed the scaffolding techniques to unlock our hidden potential (and that of others), but I think I‘ll need to read the actual book to really absorb the info. There were chapters meant for parents, or those who work with/mentor young children, so if that‘s not you, it might not resonate. There were also topics for organizations/teams, which doesn‘t currently resonate with me. But overall a great listen.
Even though my life is in chaos now due to having to move from a building that caught fire (everyone and all our things are ok) to a new home, I always need some stimulation. Language learning has always done that for me. I heard about this author and this revised book, so in brief snatches of time, I am diving in! So far I am curious and optimistic about his approach. Any other language learners out there and have you heard of this author?
I'm going to have the same bookspin each month as I'm doing it by colours on the cover this year. I really enjoyed this in January and it will be neat to see how many of the colours I actually end up doing by end of year!

pickI decided to listen to this for two reasons. I‘m trying to live more intentionally and I‘m trying to minimize the stuff in the house which I feel I‘m doing a great job with. Hubby, not so much. This wasn‘t 100% what I was looking for but I did have some takeaways.
I‘m catching up on my French. I keep meaning too. Haha! I took it and passed in high school, probably just barely. Mom is going to help some. She‘s good with written French and grammar. It‘s a beautiful language!

I used to despise winter and the long dark nights. 5 years ago, I became very ill with brittle asthma, triggered by cold temperatures. I now have to spend most of the winter indoors to avoid flareups. Coming to terms with chronic, debilitating illness has been a task.
However, once I changed my mindset to focus on what I could do rather than couldn't, things began to improve.

pickThis is a great book for kids who hate to brush their teeth. #ISpyBingoNovember @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks
