Life's Leaps

Often, I look around and realize the beautiful things my friends are doing.  What they're bringing to the world with their passion and energy.  As I prepare to take my own risks in this life, I've been holding my breath, waiting to exhale and leap.  Then I see these people jumping and it makes me want to swing my arms back a little more and go.

My dear friend Allison at Allison Writes is embarking on a brave and bold project called We Are Storytellers.  I hope you'll follow her journey here, as she encourages adults with intellectual, physical, and developmental disabilities to tell their stories. I'm really proud to know Allison and I think you will be too.  

I wonder, who is inspiring you, lately, to take life's leaps?

Pay It Forward Blogfest

I love the idea of paying it forward...in all aspects of life. So when I saw this blogfest I had to participate. The thought behind it, so simple, to share three blogs I love to read and send you there. Because *there* is where you should be.

Becca's Byline is a blog new-to-me. And I think she writes such thoughtful posts in an easy-going style that makes me feel cozy and in safe hands when I'm there. I like it. I feel as if I am thinking and learning whenever I visit.

I don't think Write Meg needs me to send any traffic to her lovely pink-treasure blog. But I'll send you there anyway. She reviews books, posts beautiful photos, and tells the most wonderful stories about life, love, and all things pumpkin flavored. She is such a gifted writer and I always look forward to her posts.

And Allison Writes. When I read her blog, I am inspired to go out and live my life. Because she is always off on an adventure, snapping pictures in abandoned asylums, sleeping in wigwams, getting philosophical about The Flintstones. I always wonder where she is and where she's going next.

So off you go.
