READING, WRITING

Read for 70 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He illustrates a phenomenon about globalization that persists until today:  what cuisine various cultures are known for.  He gives several examples; one is Italy, where at one time, there was no pasta with tomato sauce.  Italians adopted the tomato from Mexico after 1500.

Interesting.

Read for 70 seconds in YOU ARE A WRITER by Jeff Goins.  He says I need to build my platform (i.e., establish myself with people who will listen/read).  Platforms can be:

• Youtube
• Blog
• Radio show
• TV show
• Newspaper column
• Speaking career
• Podcast

I will add to that:  FaceBook, Instagram, Twitter postings; he'll likely not include this since it's mostly REactive to other posts; we'll see.  But I'm active on FaceBook, and I state my opinions there quite often.  My friends usually react/reply.  I wouldn't consider it "successful writing,"  but it is SOMEthing.

**********

David emailed and texted about a possible C-Day ("C=cash"; I also call it D-Day, meaning "David Day").  I'm heading to Utah this weekend, and will be there on "C-Day" which he says is September 1.  Maybe we'll be opening that champagne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I enjoyed doing my routine with GG (we used FaceTime) this morning; he's inspired by my doing so much; but I hope he's not also discouraged (I'm 70 & doing a LOT of exercise compared to his lesser number of reps, at 40).  But he seems to be keeping a good attitude about it.  We remind ourselves that no matter where we are, the goal is I. I.  (incremental improvement).
