In fact, the first thing on my daily \u201cto do\u201d list says, 1) Prep &amp; Read. I read a little bit of everything, books, blogs, articles, etc., covering a variety of topics such as life, business, faith, marketing\/advertising, wrestling, management, psychology, news, etc. Of all my daily\/weekly readings, there are two things that I look forward to the most.\u00a0One is the &#8220;Monday Morning Memo&#8221; from Roy H. Williams. The Wizard\u2019s (and Indy\u2019s) perspective on a multitude of topics makes me think deeper and gives me the courage to be more creative. The other is Don Kuhl\u2019s blog called &#8220;Aging M-W-F&#8221;.\u00a0Don tells short life stories and relates them to the process of aging. His stories always make me smile, laugh (often both), ponder, and reflect on my life! I always feel better and find more joy within myself after reading them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Recently, Don invited his readers to request a copy of his new book called\u00a0<em>Changing with Aging<\/em>. I requested one right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>I have never met Don. In fact, I have never even spoken to him in person. We have only exchanged emails (he reads ENS on Sales) from time to time, and he sends me encouraging words as I do to him for his writings.\u00a0He is a much better writer than I am. From reading his writings, it seems like I know him as a dear old friend. His real friends are very lucky people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>I received my advanced copy the other day and I can barely put it down. Each story is just a page. Don has an incredible knack for writing with brevity.\u00a0Each story of his life floods my mind with vivid memories of my own. Even the not-so-happy moments make me smile because he always puts a positive spin on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>His book isn\u2019t being released until Sept. 6<sup>th<\/sup>. However, you can pre-order yours now by simply googling\u00a0Changing with Aging, Don Kuhl. You\u2019ll find several avenues to purchase your copy(s).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>I have worked out a special deal with Don. I will be purchasing 50 additional copies of the book, of which I will give a FREE copy to the first 40 readers of ENS on Sales that request it. One per person, please.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>You don\u2019t have to be in the latter stages of your life to enjoy this book. In fact, I wish I had met Don (through his writings) years before I had. It might have saved me from making a few mistakes, or at minimum, allowed me to accept and move on\u00a0sooner\u00a0from some of the mistakes I have made along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>If you would like a copy,\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/2p8hy4nk\" target=\"_blank\">click here<\/a>,\u00a0and send me your name and mailing address. When I receive the books, I will send them your way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>If you would like to subscribe to Don Kuhl\u2019s\u00a0<em>Aging M-W-F<\/em>\u00a0blog, go to this website\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.changecompanies.net\/blog\/aging-mwf\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.changecompanies.net\/aging-mwf\u00a0<\/a><em>\u00a0<\/em>and subscribe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>While I have no guarantee to offer, I can assure you that if you read his blog and\/or his book, you\u2019ll smile, you\u2019ll laugh, you\u2019ll ponder, and you\u2019ll reflect! It\u2019s a GREAT way to start your morning!<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I try to start each day off with reading.
