5 BITS OF AWESOMENESS TO START YOUR FRIDAY
Each issue of Rise or Die contains a mix of:
BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS: I’m constantly reading so you’re usually getting a short review of what I’ve recently finished— I hope you like non-fiction
RECIPES: My boyfriend, Steve, and I are new(ish) vegetarians and he was recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes which means a whole new world of recipes. When we find something good, I’ll share
TOOLS: All the many things I’ve found that make life just a little bit better
QUOTES I’M LOVING: And any “aha” moments from the week
DATE NIGHT IDEAS: “Forethought Fridays” were invented by our friends, Laurel & Joe, who—while preparing for an impending wedding and other life changes— turned their weekly date night into an opportunity to discuss a prepared topic that would help guide them for the road ahead (ALL the topics!). Steve and I quickly adopted the practice which has led to many interesting, unforeseen, and always fun conversations. This part of the newsletter shares talking point or activity ideas if you want to engage in your own “Forethought Friday”. HINT: You don’t have to be in a relationship— you can do these things with family, friends, or journal them.
FAVORITE PODCAST EPISODES: The extra good ones for those long— and sometimes short— drives
VIDEOS: TEDtalks, commencement speeches, GoalCasts— anything that has me inspired
ANYTHING ELSE I’M LOVING: Which could be a lot of things
AND A PICTURE OF THE WEEK: Just for fun
