I love listening to conference talks on my cardio days. Usually, I am listening to the talk assigned for the coming lesson. But I will swap it out for another talk every other day. It gives me more to think about. It also helps me see connections between what the speakers say. It is amazing [...]

Day 1: Ask, “What is one thing we can do together this month?” This really brought on much contemplation. Which I thought was rather dramatic. lol Here are what the 3 decided they wanted to do.
