Art

 Hello Readers,

I seem to be on a roll this year so far with posts. Let us all hope I am able to keep this up for the year. Anyway, this post is going to be short. 

If you are looking for some original art that is different from what we typically see in the art world... check out this website. Its a new artist named M.Ash.B Art -on the scene who is trying to get her stuff out there. I like helping small businesses/crafts. So I think that may be something I write about again in the future. But for today....its art. I like her work. I will buy something and will tag it here when I do. Also, I am not sponsored by the way.. I just want to share the talent. 

Till then,

Books of 2023

Hey there!

A few of you have asked for my reading list this year. So here is the list. I will update it as I finish the books. I am doing the list differently this year as my goal is very different than last year. This year I have a goal of reading at least one book a month. My goal is significantly lower this year as my work life is a lot busier this year than last year so I am not able to read for hours during the work week like previous. So I am using this year as a benchmark to see how much I can read during  the month giving work and life events lol. 

If you have any recommendations on books, please leave a comment down below.

Till next time, happy reading to you!!

What's next?

Hello dear reader, 

Happy March 1. How is your year going so far? Can you believe we are starting the 3rd month already? I feel like the year just started and its already March.  I hope your year is going well so far. My year has been a roller coaster so far. 

Treatment stopped working so they created a new treatment regimen for me. So, Lord willing that will work better and I can continue my healing journey. I also got tested for allergies; and as Popeye says often - I am "allergic to life". So I started getting allergy shots along with taking prescription allergy medications.

Work has been incredibly busy--so much so that they offer overtime at least 2-3 days a week. I don't participate often in the overtime but I do appreciate that the offer is there. 

Anyway, I have a question for you- maybe two. Do you want to see my reading list for 2023? It would be pretty much the same format as last year. I will just keep a list of the books I have read. My to-be-read (TBR) list is too long to cross over to the blog but I can put a few of the ones that I have determined I will read this year if you are interested in that list as well. With that being said, I have read 7 books this year so far. I, unfortunately, will not be able to make it to 40 or more books this year. So my goal is set really low and I will adjust as life allows me to read. I also started working with a personal trainer in December and will continue for at least another few months. Would you like to see my progress as I go on this journey. Please leave me a comment and let me know your thoughts. I am trying to decide one these things, so I would appreciate your input. 

I look forward to hearing from you.

Take care,

Simply That
