Good morning and
welcome to Morning Serial.
Okay good morning and
welcome to Thursday.
And just as a quick reminder, we're off
shooting on location right
now so Morning Serial this
week is just a little
bit shorter than usual.
But that being said,
let's jump on into it.
Today is the long
awaited Teddy Bear Picnic Day.
But be very careful picnicking because
today is also don't step on a B day.
That could turn a really
great day into a not so great day.
Well let's get your day off to a great
start with a quote from
Sofia Vergara who said quote
"I've learned that you can't let other
people decide how you feel about
yourself" end quote.
And it's a great reminder that confidence
starts from within right?
And it's way more
powerful when it's self made.
Well today's news, facts and birthdays
are for July 10th and
we're going to start back
in 1890 when on this date
Wyoming was granted statehood.
More mountains, fewer rules.
Then in 1913 on this date the world's
official highest recorded
temperature was recorded
at Greenland Ranch in Death Valley in
California and the
temperature was 134 degrees Fahrenheit
56.7 degrees Celsius
if that's your thing.
Then finally in 1985 Mad Max Beyond
Thunderdome it was released
post-apocalyptic awesomeness.
Well happy birthday to you
if today is your birthday.
You share a birthday with Jessica Simpson
she's 45 today and I have it on very good
authority that she now knows that chicken
of the sea is not actually chicken.
Sofia Vergara she's 53 today the modern
family star with comedic
magnetism and the late Nikola
Tesla the electricity genius and mad
scientist muse well he was
born on this date in 1856.
He would have been 169 today.
Well the number one song on this date
back in 1983 was Every
Breath You Take by the Police.
Now this is that classic song that
everyone knows says I
love you and I'm super creepy
too because I'll be watching you
everywhere all the time.
What's kind of funny about this is Sting
actually wrote the song
following a painful divorce
which is not the funny part but he did
intend it to be a bit
creepy which is the funny part
at least it is to me.
Well despite all of that the
song won two Grammys in 1984.
So for the book review suggestion today
check out Start With
Why by Simon Sinek and you
can discover the motivational magic of
purpose first thinking right.
It's great for leaders it's great for
dreamers and I guess maybe
even toddlers who are asking
why non-stop.
Well whether you're picnicking with a
bear today or watching
your ex through binoculars
remember joy lives in simple moments.
