Tell Me, What Is It You Plan To Do With Your One Wild and Precious Life?

February 18, 2018 by Shelli

I love poetry. Poems are a great source of inspiration for me. During 2018, I’m working to memorize my favorites. I work on the memorizing every morning while doing “ball planks,” which are part of my weekday morning rituals. I will turn 50 in June, and memorizing is apparently helps keep sharp an aging brain. 🙂 Mostly, though, I’m memorizing these so I have them with me at all times without having to carry printouts of the poems.

This is my first of what will be a series of videos of me trying to recite a poem by memory. Appropriately, my first effort is my favorite poem, “The Summer Day,” by Mary Oliver.

Thanks for watching. And please feel free to share with me some of your favorite poems! (See all of my recorded memorized poems.)

About Shelli

Hi. My name is Shelli Johnson. I live on the frontier in Lander, Wyoming. I’m a wife, a mother, an entrepreneur, certified life/leadership coach, wellness coach, keynote presenter and inspired speaker, leadership development facilitator, personal development strategist, writer and adventure guide. This blog mostly includes stories about adventures and travel, but other passions are reading/books, technology, fitness, nutrition, and national parks, so you’ll find a wide range of articles here. I am founder of Yellowstone Journal and YellowstonePark.com, and NationalParkTrips.com, which was my first business. My current company, Epic Life Inc., is in its 7th year, and going gangbusters. If you’re interested in learning more about my current work, I hope you’ll jump over there and learn more about that. I have a more personal blog, more directly related to life and living and leadership, at YourEpicLife.com/blog. I’d love it if you’d also check out that collection of my writings. Thank you for stopping by! Finally, if you’d like to connect with me directly, please email me if you’d like to connect.
