Grand Rising Brothers!! I've added a book club in the classroom. So far it's a collection of books that have had a huge impact on my life. I'll keep adding to the list as I read more and remember books I've read in the past. Many of you have mentioned books and even the idea of an in person book club. This is a great way to get started! I'd love to add your suggestions. Either comment them below or send them to me directly.

Man, This is a meeting week! Unfortunately, or fortunately, I will be in the forest of Rothberry MI jamming out to some of my favorite DJ's. In my absence, @Mike Rouzer will be taking the wheel! Currently the weather looks nice for meeting in the Cottage Homes Park at 7am 722 N Highland Ave Indianapolis, IN 46202 There is plenty of street parking along N Highland Ave. This week's topic is Self Talk. Please do your best to be there and ready to check in at 7 sharp! We understand some brother's may need to leave early to make it to work. Just let the group know beforehand to plan accordingly. Lastly, I would like to add meeting on Thursday evenings in the month of July! Beginning the 2nd we well meet from 7-9pm every other Thursday evening opposite the morning circles. We'll kick this off at my place, in the back yard but I would like to open this for rotation at anyone's property or suggested location. Just raise your hand to volunteer! Reach out with any questions and please let myself or Mike know if you plan to attend this week!

On a lunchtime walk in my neighborhood, I passed this. Couldn’t help but grab it because it had those four magical letters F-R-E-E. I figured someone in this group may need it to help them in with the July challenge for steps WHILE reading, so I lugged it back the last half mile of my walk. It’s in my newly cleaned garage, please let me know if anyone wants it before my wife thinks I just made room for more stuff.
