Welcome to the sixth installment of “Things I Love,” a journey to communicate that which I am curious about, expressions of creativity that I have fallen in love with, and the big wide world of mystery that is ours to explore. This week I’m highlighting some of the things that I have loved learning, contemplating, and watching. I learn best through listening to podcasts, Ted Talks, and books on tape (such as the app Libby, in use at my local library or Audibles). I usually tune in when I’m doing chores, soaking in the tub or out on my daily walks. For documentaries and videos, I tend to watch ..read more
