I learn about something new everyday.

Star Wars: The Quest for the Hidden City was a nice surprise in what has been a string of slower, more methodical High Republic books. The plot is fairly simple, unfolding in the background of the greater conflict at the time, serving as more of a throughway. It’s a classic Jedi adventure, with most of the focus on our young Jedi protagonists. Along the way, lessons are learned, the action moves fast, and the pacing is excellent. The characters are also extremely likable, making it an engaging read from start to finish. The only downside is that it skews a bit toward a younger audience, so finding the right balance may be a consideration for some readers. That said, it’s still a super fun adventure and one I highly recommend. 4/5.

Star Wars: Convergence—full disclosure, this book took me a year to finish and completely derailed my High Republic journey. Somewhere along the way, we end up in a Romeo and Juliet-style Star Wars story, but the execution falls flat. The core of the book revolves around two warring families brought together through what I guess was their best idea at the time. Meanwhile, the Jedi storyline focuses more on the Pathfinder class rather than the larger conflicts of the era. The pacing is all over the place, the political intrigue lacks any real intrigue, and the story just drags. That said, there is a stretch—maybe two hours out of the 13+ hour listen—where things finally come together. The events of the book might prove important down the line, but in my opinion, even if you're making your way through the High Republic era, this one is safe to skip. 2/5. #starwars #bookreview

Nothing like a power outage to find time for some quality meditation.

“People can be thoughtless, but that doesn’t mean we have to bear the weight of their inconsideration. Compassion is important, but so is knowing when to stand firm.”

My car used to work fine in Los Angeles now that it has met Wisconsin -10° weather it really does not like to cooperate. A small part of me thinking about moving back to LA.

How in the world can a plastic gas can cost $20? 2 gallons There’s plastic everywhere I could’ve brought my own plastic. I have plastic here. Now that I think about it, why are we even paying money for plastic. Crap is super toxic and terrible in every way shape and form and it’s everywhere. And no you’re charging me $20 for a gas can.

You do not train for ease, you train for mastery. Stay the course, make adjustments where needed, and do not let your emotions deceive you into thinking nothing is happening simply because results are not yet visible. Growth is often silent until it is undeniable.

Allow yourself the space to unwind, reflect on the positive aspects of your day, and embrace the moments of #peace. Tomorrow is a new day with its own set of tasks, but for now, relishing the present moment is a valuable act of #selfcare #mindfulness
