Three Things Thursday No. 10: Riding the Wave
Yo!
Okay, that didn’t feel right. Instead let’s go with:
Hey, there.
How’s it going with you? Things are craaaaaaazy busy here. I don’t know if you knew this already but for the last five years I’ve owned and operated an online educational bookstore. This year we are doing some really fun, exciting things with the business and it’s really cool but taking up SO much time!!
But I didn’t want to leave you hanging, so here’s three QUICK things for this week:
Thing 1: Managing Stress!
Something that I think I hadn’t really thought about before is the fact that stress isn’t always because of “bad” things. Right now we are on the path to some pretty awesomely good things, but getting there is still stressful!! There are a LOT of tasks, lots of moving parts, lots of coordinating with lots of people. It’s just LOTS, right? And it’s GOOD, but it also gets me totally amped up and I am finding that I’m having to work extra hard to make sure that I manage my stress levels.
My favorite ways are:
Do something physical – walking, weeding, cooking, cleaning
Do something escapist – absorbing read, engaging game, napping
Do something calming – meditating, nature walks, hot baths
Do something creative – drawing, painting, sewing, quilting
What about you? What’s your favorite way to manage stress? Comment below or come find me on Facebook or Instagram!
Thing 2: $5 Books!
One of the things we need to do in order to pave the way for the very cool stuff coming down the pike for our bookstore is to significantly reduce our inventory. Which means that we’re listing a BUNCH of books at $5 each. The discount that works out to ranges from 25% off all the way up to 80% off!!
I list a few new ones each day and they go fast so if you’re at all interested in children’s books, nature stories, organic gardening or Waldorf education you should really really go check it out. All the books that are on the sale at any given moment are here:
Thing 3: Happy 10th!!
It’s Three Things Thursday Number 10! Woo hoo! Happy 10th anniversary, my friend. So – how do you like this format? Could it be longer? Shorter? Different? What are you enjoying that I’ve talked about lately? What are you missing and wishing I’d cover more?
Comment below and let me know so I can do my very best to serve YOU!!
That’s it!
This week it’s all about riding the wave of good things and learning how to manage that stress. What about you? Anything exciting happening in your life?

Much love,
P.S. What are you reading right now? I have finished the last book I was reading and haven’t started another and could use a great recommendation! I like uplifting memoirs, fun YA fantasy, chick lit and motivating books that help you become a better person. Nothing sad, dark, depressing or icky, please! Write back and tell me!!
