The sheer number of cool people in this world is staggering, when you think about it.
Which is why, I am (so) excited to get back to regular postings of the {MM} series.
I feel strongly that the mission of bring joy, in part, should be highlighting & sharing some of the amazing goodness that so many people are creating each day on the www.
SO here goes, for this week’s installment:
First:
You guys.
The discussion about body image on Friday was awesome. I’ve said this before, but your comments make my blog, a blog. I’m just sort of jabbering away & then you guys step in & make my posts really worth something. Many, many great points & insights.
Check out what people are saying here, & feel free to chime in & add to the discussion. I always love hearing what you have to say!
♥ One of bring joy‘s readers, Daisy, continues the body image discussion on her blog today, Yearning for a __-Free Life. Find the post, here.
♥ A dear friend from my college days, Deja, is picking up steam on her blog, Deja Vu–check it out. A recent post I think you should read, about adventures in frugality, here.
♥ Save $$ here: how to cook beans from scratch (pretty much all you need to know)
♥ I mentioned this before, but married lady friends, you *need* to read Meg‘s post about why you need to eschew the prudishness that can often come as a natural course of our busy modern lives (& childbearing/rearing), & make it a point to love your husband (ie. sex) every day.
Read the post here, & her follow up post especially for husbands, here.
♥ Tips on how to travel smarter…not expensiver.
♥ Joseph & I watched Tess of the D’uberville’s (the BBC version) this weekend. I loved it (naturally, since the book is on my top 5 list). Joseph liked it too, but he prefers a happy ending. For myself, I do love a great sweeping, heart-wrenching tragedy, which Tess, most decidedly is.
♥ ♥ Currently reading: Housekeeping, by Marilyn Robinson
I don’t know why it has taken me so long to read this book. (I’m thoroughly enjoying it.) It makes me miss the Pacific Northwest. All those glorious trees. And rivers, & lakes. I am enjoying the 60 & 70 degree weather in February, down here in San Antonio, but I still remain quite fond of the PNW.
