The first Saturday of every month, I meet with two groups of ladies. One is a book club and the other is a group I became a part of after an online class. 
The book club is mostly Ethiopians and we read a book that has been voted by the...

                    Different World
    
I was working on some book template yesterday. For one of the questions, I wrote that I wanted my book to be relatable - something like the show 'A Different World'. Then I started to think that I want to know more about the show.

Book
    
I was looking at some things yesterday. I wanted to structure the book that I am writing properly. I have many bits of them here and there but there is no proper structure. 
So I went to a few sites to read up on plot and such. Though I have...

December
    
December is starting off on a better note than November. Something about the fact that the year is ending is pushing me to be better. 
When I look at my vision board next to my desk, I am reminded that I was ultra ambitious earlier in the year. I recall...

NMN
    
One of the many supplements that I have taken over the year is something called NMN. 
I first heard about it a few years ago from a Harvard research scientist called David Sinclair. If I remember correctly, I either heard his interview on the Tim Ferris show or Impact theory....

Fault
    
Just finished watching a movie called 'Fault'. It had my attention the whole time. I kept guessing how the movie would proceed but just like Game of Thrones, I was completely off. 
The movie is based on cults in the 70s. The whole time, I was thinking that it was...

Anger
    
I am currently reading another fiction book. The story is about 4 people living complex and different lives. 
Since I have officially starting running out of books written by my favorite authors, I have started to read new authors. The new book seems to be telling the story from the...

Retrospective
    
As I was writing the review for November, I was angry at myself. Why was I so out of it last month? In all areas of my life?
I didn't want to allow excuses to enable that type of behavior but I was puzzled. So I went back to the excel...

Nov 2022 Review
**Name three things you can improve on this upcoming month? What concrete actions can you take on to work towards these improvements?**
These were my goals for Nov. Making part time income. (Actual sales!) - Nope Writing my fiction book - Nope Working on a recipe book - Nope
No excuses....
Mentor
    
Yesterday, the daughter of good friends asked me to review her writing. Her mom had spoken to me about mentoring the daughter in writing. 
When I read the piece, I was surprised at the complexity of the topic that the young girl was writing about. I could never articulate anything...
