A Collection of Thoughts

Jul 29, 2023

A digest of recent articles, books and podcast notes, talks, and more to support you in embracing a new thought and a new life. If there is anything you would like to see let me know.

Hello,

Included in this email are links to articles that I published this week to New Thought, New Life. You may know that I'm in a writing cohort, its day 16 of 30. And I'm loving it.

I've been asked/told: "I haven't been getting your articles every day." Because I didn't want to flood your email inbox - I'm sending out a weekly digest with everything in one place - "A Collection of Thoughts."

Also, this week, I've added to this "Collection" links for to access "Notes & Quotes" for two books that I'm reading currently.

I've also included links to the latest episode of The Living Out Loud Show and Sunday message from Concordia Center for Spiritual Living.

My intention is that you may be inspired with a new thought that will unlock for you a new life.

Blessings!

Alan Vukas

Notes & Quotes:

I don't know if you do this, but I usually have multiple books that I'm exploring at any given time. Most of the spiritual and non-fiction books I read, I make digital notes - making "Notes & Quotes."

These documents are what would be considered "literature notes." Rough notes of thoughts and ideas that occur reading the book. Sharing them hoping they may inspire new thoughts for you. You can comment on the pages you read.
