I’m on the road this week and got to meet up with my friend Diane Bailey! She and some other friends are at Proverbs 31 She Speaks this weekend.
Hope you enjoy these favorites!
My friend Edie Melson shared this on Tuesday:
The Writer’s Alphabet
If you’re a writer or think you might want to start writing, check it out. (Arrrrr, I’m a sucker for anything with a pirate.) Edie is also a social media maven so be sure to stalk her site for some great info. In fact, you should subscribe to her blog and be among the first to be informed!

On the third Thursday of each month, my friend Vonda Skelton compiles a list of writing opportunities WITH LINKS.

The Man was on the road this week and came across this cake.

I can think of at least a dozen people I could tag in this photo…
Thanks Susan for sharing. I really need to get to Sandi’s blog. She’s so funny! This will help. I shared a great link on Facebook this week: http://michaelhyatt.com/5-ways-to-make-more-time-to-read.html. I’m getting into Michael Hyatt these days, and of course I love anything that promotes reading. I also suggest http://michaelhyatt.com/how-a-shift-in-your-vocabulary-can-instantly-change-your-attitude.html. Michael talks about how changing the way we speak can improve our attitude, even with very small words. His big example: Say “I GET to write a blog post today.” instead of “I HAVE to write a blog post today.” If we say I get to, we are focusing on our blessings, which will overall improve our attitude.
Thanks, Julia — YES, follow Sandi! She’s hilarious and will always be a bright spot in your day
And thanks for sharing the Michael Hyatt links. I follow him in my Reader, but don’t read every post. I’m going to be more vigilant about him because he is CERTAINLY quoteable and shareable.
Wow, I’m honored, Susan! Thank you for including me in your Friday Faves.
And Julia, I love what you wrote from Michael Hyatt. Believe me, I needed to read your words today. Between traveling, grandkids visiting, and sick parents, I’m so behind on everything and was just telling Gary earlier of all the things I HAVE to get done today. But now I’m changing my vocabulary to all the things I GET to do today.
Thank you, Susan, and thank you, Julia!
Vonda, I could feature you and Edie every week! Thanks so much for posting those each month. It’s such a big help, and I appreciate all the legwork Marilyn does.
Praying you have a productive day and get caught up. Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks for including me, Susan!! My fave had to be the toothpaste to hang a mirror! Brilliant!! I’m sitting at the airport waiting for a flt to Disneyland, so I’m going to check out your other good links!!! Thanks !!
Oh gosh, Sandi — that toothpaste thing was AWESOME. Why didn’t we think of that?? I need to go back and find some of the other posts. Talk about things that make you go “DUH”
Susan, I hope you have a blast at the conference this weekend! Love all the links above — and I too appreciate Julia’s reminder that I GET to do all the things on my list today. Blessings!
Thanks, Cathy! I’m actually back home now. I went to the conference in 2010. I just made a kamikaze run to the Queen City to hang out with Diane. The bonus was that I got to meet a few other blogger friends while I was there!
Now I GET to finish my lesson Gideon! Have a great weekend, and take good notes on Sunday. I always love reading those on Monday mornings
Thanks Suzie Q for all you do! I may not always comment….but I DO read them! You are my blogging idol!
