Can’t posiLIVEity without these 7 things this month……
An Open BOOK
I absolutely loved Will, by Will Smith. Will takes us through his life in detail and not only do you learn about his life, you learn a lot of valuable lessons from a man who has exceled in all aspects of life. This book made me laugh out loud in many parts, made me cry, and taught me a lot of life lessons. I learned about the value of researching successful trends, bravely asking successful people they key to their success, asking a lot of questions, and keeping your good friends close throughout your life.
As much as I love a physical book, I have to be truly honest, I listened to Will Smith’s book on audible. I would highly recommend you listen to this book instead of reading it, because Will narrates it himself. He reads and sings, and you hear his awesome laugh throughout, and feel his energy which adds a whole other level to this book.
Be on the WATCH
I was a huge fan of the Karate Kid series and both my kids are in karate. It was a no brainer to start watching Cobra Kai. The latest season – season 4, was just released the end of December 2021.
If you don’t know about this Netflix series you have been missing out. The same guys who were in the movies in the 80s reprise their roles in this series. Ralph Macchio and William Zabka return as Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence respectively, but they are now adults, with teenage kids. The two still can’t stand each other, and the series follows their Dojos and all the kids who attend their karate schools. My kids and I love the great fight scenes. I love memories from the old movies and the 80’s music brings back awesome memories of my childhood. With both teens and adult cast members a huge part of this show, everyone in my family loves to watch.
My kids and I crushed the 4th season. They watched the whole 4th season with their friends on New Years’ Eve but, they didn’t mind watching them all again with me. This 4th season was Cobra Kai versus Danny and Johnny’s karate Dojos.
If you haven’t seen the Cobra Kai series yet on Netflix, I’m super jealous of you since you have 4 seasons of awesome shows to watch now!
I’m all EARS
I listen to the podcast “The School of Greatness’ by Lewis Howes all the time. I truly love the show. He always has amazing guests and asks questions that everyone wants to know the answers to. I always learn something and come away thinking about how it can improve my life. Episode #1215 Your Life is a Story: Why you Should Write Your Own Eulogy TODAY was with Donald Miller. Donald Miller’s newest book from 2021 is called ‘Hero on a Mission: A Path to a Meaningful Life’.
This episode really made me think about how many chapters I have left in my life, even though I am only 48. I need to plan out what I want to accomplish by end of my life to help direct my daily life and focus my attention on the right areas over the next 10, 20, 30 years.
Hope you enjoy as much as I did.
No Worse for WEAR
I basically love everything at Athleta. My Christmas list is usually just – ‘anything from Athleta and I’ll love it!’. I was just looking at their spring arrivals and there were 2 pants that caught my eye.
The first is a pair of leggings – Salutation Cargo 7/8 Tight. I know I will wear these all the time since they are just basic. But, I love the little cargo pocket on the side. It makes them just a bit different. They come in 3 different colors. I decided to go with the navy for spring, but I do love the Minimalistic Grey which looks light greenish.
The second piece of clothing that caught my eye is their – Cabo Linen Jogger pants that are super comfy and light and breezy, but are more dressy because they are linen. They come in 5 different colors, all great for spring and summer.
FOOD for Thought
I love burrata – anything made with burrata makes me happy. This is my favorite buratta recipe right now from A Sprouted Kitchen. It’s simple and delicious. With spring on its way, a new salad is always nice to have when you are planning your week’s meals.
Just one of those THINGS
With spring almost here, I am starting to think of golf. I needed a new pair of golf shoes and wanted a cute, but comfy pair of shoes for walking. These Adidas Women’s Crossfit DPR spikeless golf shoes for women, fit the bill to a T. How awesome are these? Don’t these make you want to get out onto the driving range for some practice?
I love this color in particular.
TRIP of a Lifetime
I love to travel. Like, really, really, love to travel. It makes me happy to plan it, think about it before, experience it fully, and then enjoy the memories for a lifetime.
I have been known to plan my next trip, while on vacation. There are so many places I want to go that I really just love to see what deals there are and then pick.
To find deals, I love the TravelZoo app. This company finds all the best travel deals by travel companies, airlines, and hotels each week. Travelzoo has Top 20 list that they send by email each week. You can go into the app and do a search on whatever type of vacation you are interested in whether it’s a beach vacation or a trip to Europe, they have you covered.
Their travel list just keeps making my bucket list longer and longer.
Hope you enjoy using the app and finding your next dream vacation.
