Thrive | Good Reads

My word for the year 2018 is thrive. It’s hanging up next to my computer in my work space and I see it everyday. When I found that this was the word I wanted for this year (more about that here!), I knew that I had to add this book to my 2018 reading list! I’ve heard amazing things about it from a lot of people I follow on social media, so I was really excited to pick this one up!

It ended up being different than I thought it was going to be, but it was exactly what I needed! It took me over a month to read it because of our trip to Kentucky and moving and all that jazz. The only regret I have was not highlighting as I was reading it (which is something I plan to do from here on out!) because there were SO many nuggets of gold in there!

This book really changed the way I look at success, and what we will do to achieve it! Arianna Huffington talks about the “third metric” which is a new way to define success in ways that focus on more than just wealth and power. She shares such moving, personal stories, that it really helped me step back and evaluate my own life.

The biggest take away that I needed to hear was about how we value sleep and how incredibly important it is to make it a priority! I’ve totally started making some changes in my life because of this book and it’s been amazing! I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone, especially women!

Tell me, what are you reading lately?! Anything good?!

You can usually find me adding books to my never-ending “to read” list; challenging myself to do things like not shop for a year; sneaking crispy m+ms from my secret hiding spot so I don’t have to share them with my daughter; and melting over seeing my children smiling at each other.

Oh and I guess I should mention - I’m a seasoned Portland wedding photographer who provides not only kick-ass wedding photos, but also a meaningful and laid-back experience from the time you book to the delivery of your final images. 

I share all things personal, business, tips, and life as a mom and business owner here on the blog!

I'm Linda!
