My bride and I are going to see it next weekend. Looking forward to it.

My goodness. I need to do the same thing! It’s been a while.

I don’t think people think about this. Reading is manageable once you know how you’re spending your time.

Saw this in my devotional this evening. So good.

😂 #7 is a dark horse. Don’t sleep on it. I’ve come to enjoy it. #5 is the best, tho.

Truth!!

Great starter pen! Try the Twisbi Eco as well. Phenomenal pen for the price.

I’ve tried digital, but always return to paper / analog. I love stationary, so I don’t think going purely digital would be an option for me. Plus, I can’t have electronics in some of the spaces I work, so paper remains my go to.

“I’m Aaron Mahnke. And, this…is Lore.” 🔥

Bro! Phenomenal podcast. I’ve listened to it for years.

If you’re not #reading, you’re not #thinking. If you’re not thinking, you’re not changing. If you’re not changing, you remain the same person. With few exceptions, who you are now is the sum total of past decisions. It’s not too late to change - starting now.

Congratulations! My bride and I celebrated 25 years in September. Not a common accomplishment nowadays.

Always thought that was a weird request. If you’re a fan of the person of whom you’re asking an autograph, why ask to sign singer that will eventually be washed away? I figure if you’re gonna take the time to ask, & the person‘s gonna take the time to sign, you’d want it to last.

Don’t have to ask me twice!! Already on it.

Conversely, what also worked for me was to just to start writing what was in my mind (free thought) and I’d eventually get into the groove of material related to my topic.

I don’t consider myself a write by any means, but what I’ve learned from the many papers I had to write for my masters degree - staring at a blank page does nothing for you. I think your tips are spot on. Get away from the screen for a while and come back to it later.

Great joke. So subtle you have to pay attention. I dig it.

John Maxwell…many years ago. Since then, I’ve tried to read as much as I can from.

That’s why I love keeping my journals. Reading through old entries allows me to assess how much (or how little) I’ve grown / matured over the years. And, added bonus - have I changed my mind on anything I once thought was “it”.

Twisbi Eco’s are phenomenal pens. Can’t beat the quality for the price.

Congratulations! Good for you! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

So, I write by hand in my journal…in cursive, too. Love letters to my future self, maybe? 👀🤷🏾‍♂️😂

Thank you!

Advocacy matters.

Appreciate the recommendation. Followed both of you.

Or, we can try to assess what we failed to do to make them want to stay.

I don’t remember who said it, or the full quote, but it was something to the effect of - people don’t leave bad jobs, they leave bad leadership.

Facts. Kinda feels like you walked into a room where you don’t know anyone, but everyone makes room for you at the table. 👏🏾 I’m not by any means referring to my childhood, adolescent, teenage, or young adult years. Just purely making an observation. 👀😂

Plenty of time, friend. You can still hit that stretch goal. If you’re not against it, I’ve found that I get through fiction and biographies more quickly (and more I enjoy them more) via audiobooks.

So, not a literary agent. Slowly trying my hand at writing via leadership and personal development articles. (Yet to have anything published for public consumption outside of my own channels.) Think this group would be useful to me or is it more so for serious writers? Thanks!

I’ve been on #BlueSky for less than a week and cannot remember the last time I’ve posted and interacted so much on a social media platform…including the ones I’ve had for years. Y’all making a brother feel all kinds of comfortable. #KicksFeetUp #SipsCoffee 😂
