One of my goals this year was to write a monthly post detailing the books I finished. Since the last book post from May 2022, I haven’t kept up with this goal! A main reason for this is that I really did not get through many books between traveling and delving back into podcasts for…

May 2022 Books
Clearly I meant to write this post in early June, not mid-September. Oops!! It’s been a happy whirlwind over the last few months, so I’m not complaining! May was another fairly slow month in terms of books since I only got through two of them, but I adored them both. I hope you’ll check these…
March 2022 Books
“Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids” by Dr. Laura Markham is an audiobook I’ve had in my library for years but never finished. I think I started it when my first child was still a baby, but I did not feel it was applicable at the time. Fast forward six years, and things have definitely changed! I,…
February 2022 Books
I only got through two books in February: one audiobook and one hard cover. However, both of these books were well worth the time it took to finish them. Both took the full 28 days to get through, and oh were they incredible! Without further ado… Clocking in at 32 hours and 51 minutes, this…
January 2022 Books
Amazingly, the longest month of the year is coming to an end! I don’t know what it was about this month, but my energy has been absolutely dragging. It may be a combination of social isolation (again) during Omicron, the winter blues, and it being too cold to get outside and be in the fresh…
My 2021 Audiobooks (and Actual Books!)
It’s already that time when I review the books I have listened to this year! Last year’s list was much shorter than I would like, but between having a new baby and dealing with a pandemic, free time was not in abundance ;) I haven’t read a ton of books in previous years as I…
South Asian Authors I Love
Over the last two years, I have become more intentional about reading/listening to books written by a diverse array of writers. I seek out books, new and old, written by authors of color, not only for their different perspectives and outlooks on life and the world around them, but also to show solidarity for people…
Value Sources
Lately I have been thinking a lot about external influences and the forces which guide our decisions. Especially with social media, where we constantly are bombarded by images of what literally millions of people around the world have, experience, and look like, it is easy to become sucked into wanting to change or adjust our…
My 2020 Audiobooks
I’m posting this a bit late, clearly, but 2020 was…you know. Sadly, this list is much shorter than previous lists, but I am cutting myself some slack because, well, you know. I am hopeful that 2021’s book list will be far more robust! This book has gotten much attention in the self-help world. I thought…
My 2019 Audiobooks
This is my fourth year using Audible! I love seeing other people’s book lists, so the reason I have done these end-of-year posts is to hopefully inspire interest in the books on this list. This year, I thought I would include a list of my 5 favorites to start off with! Here are my previous…
My 2018 Audiobooks
Well, it’s been months since I have posted anything, but it’s been a bit of a whirlwind! Between having baby #2, selling our home, moving to a new state, starting fellowship in Hospice & Palliative Care, and beginning to get my own health and well-being back on track, the blog had to be shifted to…
My Experience with the Marie Kondo Method
I’ve been meaning to write this post since December 2016! That is when I listened to “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up” by Marie Kondo on Audible and decided to give it a try. The main reason I wanted to do so was because I just HATE clutter. I like clean, simple spaces and decor…
