Happy weekend! After being busier than usual last weekend, I’m looking forward to a little more downtime today and tomorrow. We have a Farmer’s Market lunch planned with a few friends today, as well as dinner with my coworkers. And then tomorrow we’ll be watching the Super Bowl and stuffing our faces!
Another good reason for this weekend being a little more low key? Our annul team meeting. That means lots of meetings and fun dinners out. It also means my days and nights will be packed. Not sure how often I’ll blog next week, but I hope to pop in a couple of times at the very least. We’ll see!
Now that I’ve adequately filled you in, here are a few of my favorite reads from the week. Enjoy!

What Nobody Tells You About Finding Your Purpose
So many of us pursue some end result — whether it’s a career, a possession, an achievement or a relationship — because we think that this external circumstance will purchase the internal state we really want most in our lives. In fact, we probably believe that achieving the external circumstance is the only way we can have the inward states of love, joy and peace. But this is never true. In fact, it’s one of the greatest lies on the planet.
