If It's Friday, It Must Be Time for Link Love
October 23, 2015
Happy Friday to you—I hope you’re enjoying some lovely fall
weather wherever you are. After a few days of cool-ish weather, we’re back in
the high 80s with humidity. It’s time for me to bathe and clip Tank before he
melts into a puddle. Here are a few happy links for you to explore while I cope
with my hairy beast.
For those of us who move forward best by taking baby steps:
“5 Ways to Create a Life You Love Without Making a Major Change.” Also remember this: “It’s okay to live—and love—the life you
have.” Sometimes we forget to appreciate what we already have.
The world is full of good things. Here are 99 of them.
“The Magic of Going Slow” has so much in it that resonates
with me right now. For instance, “Nothing truly great has ever come out of
stress” and “Always choose the path that feels right and kind in the moment.
Happiness first, awareness first. Then decision and action.”
Most of us (all of us?) have an inner critic who gives us
trouble. Check out “Five Ways to Silence Your Inner Critic” for ways to boost
your confidence. (I wrote a similar piece: “Shut Up, Inner Critic.”)
Every now and then, it’s helpful to check in with ourselves
to see if we’re living in a fashion that supports and feeds our bodies, minds,
and spirits. Sandra Pawula’s “9 Questions to Liberate the Real You,” can help
you evaluate how you’re doing.
The marvelous Elizabeth Gilbert has a new book out, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear. Her interview with Marie Forleo is
worth a watch (caution: some adult language):
And just in case you can’t wait another minute to read something I wrote, here’s your chance: “Driving I-5 in the USA,” my entry for the wesaidgotravel.com writing contest.

Dear Kathy- thank you for the great links. Five ways to make changes was especially helpful. Sometimes one doesn't have to go for big ones to find more adventure. Hope you and Tank have a lovely day. Glad to read your weather is cooler. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteDebbie--You're welcome. I don't know how much he enjoys being clipped, but I know he'll feel better when he's cooler!
ReplyDeleteI like your entry for the writing contest. When will the winners be announced?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cheryl. The last I heard, they were supposed to announce the winners in November.
