Happy June and welcome to the 48th issue of ‘How Curious!’ ✌️ After months of neglect, I’ve decided to turbo-charge my Spanish and have now started Spanish school. The list of reasons to permanently move to the Canary Islands grows longer every day! 🇪🇸☀️ Last month’s highlights include a trip to a local winery and a short hop over to Tenerife for a few days. 🍷🏝️

A Million Miles in a Thousand Years: What I Learned While Editing My Life
My reading pace slowed last month, but this book is providing inspiration to contemplate the story of life. “After writing a successful memoir, Donald Miller’s life stalled. During what should have been the height of his success, he found himself unwilling to get out of bed, avoiding responsibility, even questioning the meaning of life. But when two movie producers proposed turning his memoir into a movie, he found himself launched into a new story filled with risk, possibility, beauty, and meaning.
A Million Miles in a Thousand Years chronicles Miller’s rare opportunity to edit his life into a great story, to reinvent himself so nobody shrugs their shoulders when the credits roll.”
