A SEASON FOR CHANGE & LEARNING
September habits: starting school, new projects, or switching over the clothes in your closet. I’m one of those people who loves the fall changes. I even organize photos of my finished paintings on my computer by seasons. The featured painting for fall is “Crossing Over” 36x36 Acrylic on canvas.
I enjoy learning and discovering new things. Here are a few new resources for learning that I would like to share with you.
. . . . . . .
The School of Life – based in the UK. Focuses on exploring life lessons that you did not learn in school or even from your parents. Teaching you how to lead a more fulfilled life. Lots of great books, films, articles, and online classes. Go poke around. Link here.

School of Greatness Podcast by Lewis Howes. He talks with hundreds of interesting people and is a very compelling interviewer. I listen to him and other podcasts while walking, exercising, or driving.
His August 18th podcast was with Behavior Scientist Katy Milkman’s How to Change: The Science of Getting from Where You Are to Where You Want To Be. Lots of very practical lessons that can be adapted easily. One lesson is starting a new habit with the seasonal changes beginning in September. Link this episode.
Netflix Series The Chair – The academic world of a fictional, small liberal arts college. The viewpoints and insights of changes in the educational world: life, diversity, racism, sexism, and ageism all from the viewpoint of four different generations. Even The New Yorker did a review on this series.
. . . . . . .
The Great British Bake Off show starts its twelfth season Friday, September 24th on Netflix. Twelve amateur bakers. Lots of interesting personalities in the bakers, judges, and two comedic sidekicks. Even if you are not a baker it’s still a joy to watch.
