I think this year would be a good year to listen to Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers straight through chronologically.
Thereโs a zillion albums, so I might not make it. But I can start. Tonight: Live at the Cafe Bohemia, volume 1. ๐ถ

I have a very general, easy schedule of readings for the next 12 weeks. A few chapters each weekโit won’t be a problem with all the new non-phone time you’ll have each day ๐ซ Having done this twice before, I think the most helpful thing for you to prepare is to get a plan for areas where you expect to struggle: If it’s your phone/screen time: where can you put your phone at home & work so it’s out of sight, out of mind?
Currently reading: If On A Winter’s Night A Traveler by Italo Calvino.

Highland Advent vibes this morning. ๐ก
Several times in the last five years, I’ve participated in Exodus 90, a 90-day program of spiritual disciplines and practices. This year, Exodus 90 starts right on January 1, and goes through Holy Saturday (March 30). I’m especially excited to participate this year. Although the Exodus 90 organization offers an app and a subscription service (who doesn’t, these days?), I’ve never paid for the service. You can get the full benefit of the program by simply recruiting a group of friends and following these practices together, checking in regularly (at least weekly) to discussion how it’s going.
Current listening: *The Incomparable Bola Sete ๐ถ
Sure, itโs just a live recording, but Iโm here all day for this one. Heck, here all year. ๐ถ
