WHEN:

Every other Monday, listeners are able to tune in to iTunes, Stitcher Radio or stop by the blog to catch the weekly podcast.

WHAT:

TSLL is beginning a new chapter and debuting its first podcast The Simple Sophisticate. What is a Simple Sophisticate you may be wondering?

The simple sophisticate is someone who prefers quality over quantity, sensible living over mindless consumption, personal style instead of trendy fashions, has an insatiable curiosity for life’s endless questions and a desire to live a truly fulfilling life rather than being led around by the nose. Inspired by her lifestyle blog The Simply Luxurious Life, Shannon Ables (the original Simple Sophisticate) shares with listeners tips on how to live a refined life on an everyday income. From achieving your goals, preparing a memorable meal, creating a capsule wardrobe, traveling the world (Francophiles tune in as Paris is a favorite destination), and living life to the fullest without breaking the bank, living well is really quite simple.

WHY:

TSLL blog continues to reach readers around the world, and now, whether you are driving, exercising, working in the yard or traveling, you can listen each week to an idea-packed episode that will offer inspiration and motivation to help keep you striving for the life of your dreams all the while keeping you well-informed and clothed in your signature style.

The Soundtrack for the Podcast:

The music on Monday’s episode and the primary music for the entire podcast is titled “Walking in Paris” and the music for  Sunday’s Au Courant Weekly is titled “Fresh and Sunny Bossa“. (click on the song title to be directed to the purchase page)

Happy Monday and welcome to a new week where one month dances into a new month. Speaking of new ➡️ New on the blog, this week's Monday Motivational post - A Daily State of Calm: A Necessity to Living Well . Discover how you know you are readily in such state and how to return to it if you are not. Also, the valuable importance of this powerful skill. 

This image captures the clarity gained when all is calm as we slipped up to the mountain this weekend for a short romp on the classic skis. Hoping your weekend was rejuvenating and exactly what you had desired. Bonne journée 😌
Walking on clouds of snow these two for our morning weekend snow venture!
An excerpt to bring a deep reassuring breath of calm and steadiness confirming that you are on the path that is uniquely made for you: From the January 28th entry, titled "Your Journey" found in the January chapter, "Let Go of What Doesn't Work, and Embrace the Unknown" in #tsll3rdbook  The Road to Le Papillon: Daily Meditations on True Contentment

Where to pick up your copy:
➡️ hardback, paperback, ebook, audio - wherever you shop for your favorite books (Amazon, Audible, Apple Books, Google Books, etc.)

➡️ signed copies, shop directly on TSLL blog (link in profile)

➡️ signed copies for Bendite locals (in-person or online) - @roundaboutbooks , signed copies for Wallowa County locals - @bookloftoforegon

A moment captured earlier this week as I and Norman settled down in the evening while Little One revved up! Oh! And it's Friday, which means it is This & That Day on the blog! Stop by to discover ➡️ A new British drama series that is being well received and I cannot wait for it to become available in the states, quite a few winter clothing sales to explore, books on averting self-sabotage, welcoming the tranquility back into your everydays, a comedic gardening novel, and a book on what loving really entails. A new film to prompt more than a bit of laughter with a star-studded cast, and a new comedy on AppleTV+ starring Harrison Ford in a role that looks quite hilarious in its concept. Oh! And a new translation of Colette’s two classic novels. And good news, there is still much more – for the home, for the table, for your wardrobe, you get the idea. ☺️
