    E126: The Get Lit(erate). Summer Reading Challenge

    E126: The Get Lit(erate). Summer Reading Challenge

    It’s time to gear up for summer reading season!

    Everywhere I look, I’m seeing summer reading lists, checklists and challenges and I typically DON’T enjoy them because they don’t always connect to the kind of reading life I want to have.

    So, I decided to create a summer reading challenge that I CAN get behind because it's the kind of reading that will help us create the kind of summer we want to have.

    Today, I’m talking all about my Get Lit(erate). Summer Reading Challenge to help you BE, FEEL and DO all that you hope for this summer….with a few notebooking ideas, too. 

    You’ll find the show notes for the episode with links to all of the books and resources mentioned right here.

    I’ve stumbled upon a magical combination of reading and writing in the wee hours of the morning that makes me feel so good and sets my day up for success.

    It’s the combination of reading small doses of personal development books and then heading to my notebook to see what comes out on the page.

    Come listen as I talk about the how and why behind this magical practice, share three kinds of books perfect for the task and talk about my favorite titles, too.
