How I did it: ...if you pick the right books. Ones that matter to you, not only to the kids. For me, that meant no Disney and no TV show stories...I just can't sit through the cheese. Not that I'm judging on those choices. For me, what worked were Newbery Award winners, Caldicotts, Kate Greenaways... I obviously side with the judges. The beautiful stories and illustrations made the experience of reading as worthwhile for me as the message was to the kids. Read how I did it…
Not sure if doing this for three months counts as a permanent habit yet, but it feels great to have a stack of books waiting to be read, and I have much more interesting things to talk about with my friends!
I decided to collect antique charms. Vintage charms, actually. I only have one so far, but it counts! It feels good to have something to look for specifically when I go antiquing.
Do I really want to do this? I can’t imagine studying again. But it’s been a goal for so long now I have a hard time walking away. Then again I have no interest at all in any programs I have seen, nor do I have time or money. I will meditate on it.
