Love your goals and lists! You’re such an inspiration. I have heard great things about that David Brooks book — it’s on my list! Also curious about that Ruth Reichl one! I’m excited for your summer goals! ⭐️
It also sounds like you've done a lot of thinking and preparation to set yourself up for success. I hope it all goes wonderfully!
As you probably already know, summer in Florida is my down season--heat & humidity, thunderstorms, hurricanes, all the good stuff. Every year I *try* not to complain too much and waste the limited time on Earth I have. I have a biggish writing goal (a book idea based on what I've learned and experienced by having my horse for 20 years) I'm stumbling ahead with. Continuing my whole house declutter (I'm almost done with a first pass!), and, of course, reading a LOT. I have a couple of the books on your list already on my list (The Husbands, Real Americans) and one book you've previously recommended (We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves). I've already read The Creative Act. I didn't find it as great as everyone else did, but your mileage may vary!

Thanks, Ann! I'm going to do my best to live up to those goals :)
