Five on Friday - March 15, 2024

It's Friday!  I'm thrilled that we have another weekend right around the corner.  Let's kick off the weekend with my Five on Friday ~

1. Taylor Swift:  The Eras Tour (Taylor's Version)

If you weren't able to catch Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in person or in the theaters, you have a new chance to stream the concert film starting today!  Disney+ will be the exclusive streaming home of the film and will present the concert in its entirety for the first time.  This streaming version will include the song "Cardigan" and four additional acoustic songs.  Pretty excited to finally see this in the comfort of my own home!

2.  How to Walk into a Room

I've been listening to Emily P. Freeman's podcast The Next Right Thing for years and was excited to hear Emily announce she was writing another book.  Her newest book, How to Walk into a Room, was released this week and I can't wait to dig into it!  Here's the summary from Amazon ~

What do you do when you start to feel a shift and must decide if it’s time to make a change? When it comes to navigating big decisions about when to stay and go, how can we know for sure when the time is right? Though we enter and exit many rooms over the course of our life—jobs, relationships, communities, life stages—knowing how and when it’s time to leave is a decision that rarely has a clear answer.

Podcast host, spiritual director, and bestselling author of The Next Right Thing, Emily P. Freeman offers guidance to help us recognize when it’s time to move on from situations that no longer fit, allowing us to find new spaces where we can flourish and grow.

How to Walk Into a Room helps us begin to uncover the silent, nuanced, and hidden arrows for anyone asking questions like: How do I know if it’s time to move on? What if I stay and nothing changes? What if I leave and everything falls apart?

Through thought-provoking questions, spiritual practices, and personal stories, How to Walk into a Room will help you to know and name the caution flags in your current spaces, discern the difference between true peace and discomfort avoidance, navigate endings even when there is no closure, find peace for when you feel ready but it isn’t time, and courage for when it’s time but you don’t feel ready.

For anyone standing in a threshold, here’s a book to help discern the how, when, and what now of walking out of rooms and into new ones with peace, confidence, and a whole heart.

3.  St. Patrick's Day Doughnuts

In case you haven't looked ahead on your calendar, Sunday is St. Patrick's Day!  Make sure you dig out your green to wear.  Another fun way to celebrate is to pick up a box of these St. Patrick's Day doughnuts from Krispy Kreme.  Don't they look festive!  Their names are adorable too:  Luck of the Rainbow, Shamrock Cookies 'n Kreme made with Oreo, Plaid Party, and Shooting Shamrock.  

4.  Lego Easter Bunny

Are you looking for that fun gift to put in the kid's Easter basket?  Check out this Lego set!  It's three things in one box.  After Easter, the pieces can be turned into a parrot or seal.  Talk about the gift that keeps on giving!  The rabbit stands about 5-1/2" tall after being constructed from the 258 piece kit.

5.  Just sayin'...

Have a great weekend!  I'm hoping to spend a bit of time outside enjoying the warmer weather.  Maybe I'll enjoy reading my new Emily P. Freeman book while sitting outside too!  See you next week.
