Those who have been with me for a while might remember a certain Kindle rant. 2 years later (almost to the day), my new Kindle has arrived.
I’m not backpedaling entirely. I still love me some earthbound-bookly-spirits books. I am, however, officially done with hauling extra weight around, literally and figuratively. 3 books on every plane ride (which are more frequent these days) no longer excites me. And lo, the Kindle is an extension of these changing times.
Also, while I love our library (which really is about 3000 volumes, or at least feels that way), and will continue to add to our library… honestly? I don’t need every frickin’ business book I want to read cluttering up the house. I heart you, Gary Vee, but I highly doubt I’ll need Crush It on my shelves in 2020. (No offense, dude.) And while Eben Pagan’s library (which he gives us a glimpse of in this Guru Mastermind training video) does make me swoon, when it gets right down to it, that kind of lugging is too much of a commitment right now, especially with a cross-country move looming on the horizon.
(OK, so, not really, because my commitment to books is mighty and formidable, but if a gal can cut it down to size, why the heck not?)
Anyway. I’d prefer to give my shelf space to stories and myth, magic and comics. And art. And Norton Annotated Editions, nearly all of which we own. And whatever business, coaching and self-improvement tomes end up going the distance.
In other news, saw Rantz last night, which was wonderful, along with Ivan Brandon & his lady Kristyn, Andy Mac & Heidi, and Steve Isaacs & his lady Melissa. Within 5 minutes of my arrival at the bar, Rantz had my jaw dropping on the floor with his uncanny ability to pick up on the “inner game” piece of what’s been going on with me, entrepreneurially and creatively, for the past 5 months. I love my cool friends.
Cannot wait to see what’s coming with LongBox. Rantz has worked unbelievably hard and I have no doubt that LB is going to rock the house. And that I’ll be reading comics on this Kindle before long… or something quite similar.
