The only thing better than discovering a new book with a powerful message is remembering to reach for that book when I need to be reminded of its message.

For this week’s Monday Boost:

A parenting book.  a spirit boost book. a podcast.

How to Talk So Kids Will Listen: Our boys are entering an era of sibling spats and this book is my secret training manual on how to referee the seemingly unending battles.

 Poetic Inspiration: Embers. I pick up this book, open it up to wherever my fingers guide and soak in whatever the page wants me to heed in that moment.

 How I Built This: James Dyson. This podcast features compelling stories of entrepreneurs and this latest one about the Dyson inventor left me with energy to persevere…in spite of.
