My Learning List

I am often asked, what am I reading? So in addition to my gratitude list, I created a Learning List that I keep in my Bullet Journal. This is in rough chronological order and you can see a few themes that emerge in the list depending on what may be occurring in my life or in the world around me. I will update this list along our way.
