Live Green | Declutter | Simplify Life
Check out my monthly roundups of the best blog posts I read in the previous month.

In addition to my monthly goals update, my August roundup has insightful posts on work and money, living life as a legend, what not to say to someone with depression, working with your body’s hormones, and finding the good in hard things.
July flew by in the blink of an eye. The first half was crazy busy as I helped my daughter Laura pack for her cross-country move. Then, I wrapped up the month a much-needed vacation. All that didn’t leave a lot of time for reading blog posts, so my July 2023 roundup is a little light in that department.

In January, James Clear, author of Atomic Habits, spoke at my workplace’s global speaker series. The timing was perfect as I had decided at the beginning of this year to take a different approach to goals. Clear’s talk piqued my curiosity enough that I decided to read the book. Today’s review is a summary of the key messages I took away from the book, and how I’m adopting these learnings in my daily life.
My March 2023 roundup has a progress report on my monthly goals, along with five posts from some wonderful bloggers.
