Big Dreams Daily Joys by Elise Blaha Cripe [Making Good Book Club #32]

This book was an absolute joy to read. As always, Charelle and I resonated with different parts and pieces, and maybe more so than past books the sections we pulled out clearly illustrated the ways our brains work so differently, which is always fun to see.

I have been following the author, Elise Blaha Cripe, for a long time, and when she came out with her book I immediately jumped on getting a copy. I really admire Elise for her creativity and dedication to making space for joy, whether it’s a craft project or a baking experiment or a business venture. She’s currently on a break from social media, but you can still find plenty of inspiration by scrolling her Instagram page, @elisejoy.

Big Dreams Daily Joys is an intuitive, approachable and honestly visually fun book for anyone who could use some fresh ideas for making progress, setting goals, and making time for the things that matter most. There were so many jewels in this book we couldn’t cover them all, So if you enjoy this discussion and you learn something, you will definitely want to pick up a copy for yourself. Plus it's really, really beautiful.

In this episode, we discussed:

• Making room for joy and why it matters to do things you care about 

• Who this book is geared toward 

• The difference between a goal and a to-do list 

• How to prioritize and have the right things on our to-do lists 

• Don’t reinvent the wheel! 

• What to do when you have too many ideas 

• And more
