A collection of links I love, sites I like, interesting reads or cool happenings nearby.
One of the best personal gift ideas I've stumbled across, re-gifting with a very personal touch. It makes me wish I was on Patsy Clairmont's gift list!
The Crisis: Part I. Spending time and conversation with Kristen taught me a lot of things, like caring about orphans doesn't necessarily mean adoption. She begins to explore options here in a heart-pricking post.
The Eight Hour Social Media Mommy “Workday” Undone. Linda Sellers asked a brave question recently, one I've lacked the courage to pose because it steps on toes. GOOD for her!
"Give Me 5 Minutes And I’ll Give You The Secrets to 25 Years of Joyful Running!" S i g h…never have I wanted to believe anything more. By Randy Elrod, marathon runner and endearing renaissance man.
IMHO, the BEST Stampin' Up demonstrator in the country has a blog where she's sharing her secrets. Check it out for some wonderfully creative handmade ideas!
Coolio!! Stephanie's husband is a contender for Yahoo's "How you knew" contest. Will you help them out by voting for Matt M.? No registration, it takes all of 10 seconds :).
One of the few sites I'm intentioned about reading daily–and even with great intention I miss more than I'd like—is Incourage. Check out today's post by Arianne, a great example of why you should add it to daily reads, too :).

It’s funny, I think it’s every Saturday I see your posts on Facebook and come look around! Thanks for the links, I absolutely love Linda’s! BTW, still trying to get to Blissdom…. I would love to see you again! I miss you and your fun self!!
Thank you Robin for the love and Chele, I hope to see you at Blissdom too!
I love it when people share links– such a good way to learn about other stuff that is circulating out there in the ol’ world wide web.

Thanks Robin. I especially loved the 8 Hour Social Media Mommy. I think we can ALL identify with that post.
