I used to do these monthly reviews a while back. I would like to revive those. Here is June’s. It is short, sweet, and late. Enjoy.

Last month, I took a vacation with some friends, and it felt like the first time I had relaxed in years.

I definitely do not unplug enough. And, I don’t mean just social media or the internet, but from the mundane.

I can’t wait to go away again.

What I Read

This was a very interesting read for me. It is unlike any other self-help book or personal development book I’ve ever read. My experience with the book was very strange. I liked it and disliked it all at once.

It definitely reminded me to try to see the opposite side of the coin of my feelings.

If you’ve read this, let me know.
