This is simple. I'm Tish Oxen Rider.

All right, friends, in this episode we're continuing our series called My Good List.

This time I'm talking with a new friend named Jackie Skimp, a California

transplant living in snowy Minnesota. In these chats we talk about the small things that are

making everything better right now. We'll get right to this but first a final

reminder that as we get closer and closer to Christmas now is the time to make

selections from our art assemble gift guide at the art of simple

simple.net slash gifts. If you want to snag one of our new

at home in the world teas translated into 18 languages, some amazing fudge,

beautiful jewelry made by small shop artisans, or maybe my favorite shoes of the year. Do it as you're

listening to this episode so you have enough time for shipping. Shopping from our

gift guide supports not only our work but also the work of these fantastic

artists and businesses so again that's at the work of these fantastic artists and businesses.

So again, that's at the Art of Simple.net slash gifts or click on the link in this episode's

show notes.

And again, thank you so much in advance.

Okay, back to Jackie's Goodlist. As a quick reminder in these chats, I'm asking friends to break down their good lists in four areas, a thing, a habit they've adopted, a work of art, and a philosophy.

She's a mom to three little boys and chatting with her is like sipping on a calming, warm

drink. I just love her taste, her ideas, and her approach to life. I know you'll

enjoy her. So let's get right into it. Here's Jackie sharing with us her good list.

All right, Jackie, how are you? Thank good. How are you?

Good. I'm doing well today.
