I'm Emily P. Freeman and welcome to the next right thing.

You're listening to episode 156.

This is a podcast about making decisions, but it's also about making a life.

Every week I invite anyone who struggles with decision fatigue or chronic hesitation

to join me for a few minutes for a thoughtful story, a little prayer and a simple next

right step.

That will always be true, but for the next four weeks I'm going to change the format up

just a little bit and invite you into a final mini series here on the podcast.

What do you say we do a month where I share with you my favorite things?

Even better, I'm calling it my next right favorite things because of course I am.

So this week we'll start with my favorite things I read this year.

Maybe one of these books will be your next right thing to read.

And there is actually rhyme to my reason.

In just one month, the next right thing, guided journal, will hit the bookshelves all

around the country.

And one of the reflections in the book is a page that I call a happy list.

And it's there for you to write down what you read, watched, listened to and made for

each month.

So this I felt like was the perfect time of year to share my own happy list.

But first, a word from this episode's sponsor Skillshare.

Skillshare is an online learning community where you can explore your creativity and learn

something new thanks to thousands of engaging classes.
