Weekly Roundup: October 1, 2021

Quote of the Week:
“For me, success is not a public thing. It’s a private thing. It’s when you have fewer and fewer regrets.” –Toni Morrison

What I’m reading:
The Honeybee Emeralds by Amy Tector (I got an advance copy and I am loving it!)

What I’m listening to:
No Cure for Being Human by Kate Bowler

What I’m watching:
Scenes from a Marriage on HBO
Love on the Spectrum (Season 2) on Netflix

Writing news:
No big news this week, but I am making progress on writing a new novel and really enjoying it! 

What I’m talking about:
I started a new job this week so I have been too busy to talk about much of anything. 

Weirdest thing I googled this week:
“original meaning of essay.” I heard that the original meaning of “essay” is “attempt,” so I had to google that. It’s true. 

Interesting things I learned this week:
I retained no interesting information this week. Or none that I can remember. It’s been a hectic week.

What I’m grateful for:

  • My body. It was so tired so I took a couple days off marathon training and am feeling much better
  • Ohana Fest, an outdoor concert that is walking distance from my house. Last weekend, I was lucky enough to see Eddie Vedder perform. Tonight, I’m going to see Lord Huron, Beck, and Pearl Jam
  • Nearly 4 years with my daughter (her birthday is on Monday, but we are having a little party tomorrow). She is the sweetest, sassiest, funniest girl and I love her so much
