Happy Friday Everyone!!
I’m preparing for a short getaway and am so ready. We’ve not taken as many trips this year as in the past and I have emotionally begun to feel it. There are times when you simply need to get away! As it always seems to happen, the time before I prepare to leave always seems to be the busiest. Nonetheless, I’ve still had time to find some favorite things of the week.
Blogger Therapy
The Only Way I Can Keep Blogging
Nina says things in this post that I believe many people think and feel. I sometimes feel that regardless of where you are in life that life can feel like high school. If only we could support other rather than attempt to always compare and compete. This is a must read.
The Best Blog You Are Not Reading
I discovered Jennifer from Simply + Fiercely last weekend after she retweeted one of my tweets. Jennifer is currently living in Thailand after realizing she was unhappy with her life. She walked away from everything in her life including her career, husband, house and almost everything she owned. The result has been a resetting of her compass, discovering her values and beginning to fall in love with life. Please go check her out – I am certain you will fall in love with her!
Retail Therapy
Have you checked out Oprah’s favorite things on Amazon? There are so many things to love. Ugg Boots, pocket coloring books and these great sleep and sweatshirts.
Music Therapy
Listening to Alanis Morissette’s updated “Ironic” was just what I needed after a hectic day. Just in case you haven’t seen it, here is your chance!
Kindness Therapy
A small act of kindness from the giving and receiving perspective can change the course of your day. As we celebrate worldwide Random Acts of Kindness Day, Shari’s Berries has created this fantastic kindness generator with over 50 different ideas of kindness in different settings. (Of course, you can surprise someone with the gift of berries.) As we continue celebrating the month of gratitude, take some time to practice kindness this weekend.
Joining Blogger Love, Friday Favorites, H54F, and Five on Friday.
Have a fantastic weekend!!
