Just found your blog (from you entering my contest) and I’m so happy I did! I love a good link round-up and it looks like we liked a lot of the same recent posts 🙂
I read most of these links on Sunday and the remaining ones on Monday. Why I’m just now back here leaving a comment, I don’t know.
I really enjoyed the Fitness link and how the answer is usually It depends because so much is about personal choices, personal impacts, personal growth, personal digestion. It took me a while to learn not one size (food wise) fits all. Not everyone can eat an entire cauliflower without repercussions.
Along those same lines, I think people (myself included at times) really need to make sure they aren’t projecting their own issues on others. For example just because someone suffered from issue A doesn’t mean person B is going through the same thing. We see a small connection and then suddenly diagnose that person with having our same issues, when it’s usually totally different. I think that reaction is normal, but we really need to try to see through it and ourselves to the real issue at hand.
Alright I need a nap now; that was way too convoluted and deep for me this early in the morning. 🙂
thanks for sharing lovely lady! I hope you had a blessed and super joyful easter!! 🙂
So many good links this week… I totally pinned the chia dirt cake last week… once you have dirt cake you can’t go back – so amazing!!
Loving the SEO article (no surprise there!)..I need major help in that area 😉
Thanks for posting that link for The Soulful Spoon. The info. on hormones and digestion after ED was very interesting.
Thank you for the link share, lovey :)! Hope you had an amazing Easter weekend. Pretending it’s Sunday when I comment (Monday morning here) so 3 things I did “today” include lunch out the madre, met a friend for tea and went to the cinema. As for Saturday, I attended a patisserie workshop, practiced my driving and watched New Years Eve on TV–> love that movie! If you haven’t seen it, save it for a day when you are craving the ultimate chick flick/rom com!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen it, but I’m a sucker for those kind of movies so I’m definitely going to have to look into it. I’ve been looking for some new movies to add to my feel-good library.
Thanks soo much for the link love girl!! <3
Three things I did yesterday: Ate, studied, and went to the gym
Three things I did today: went to church, visited my grandma, and had family easter lunch!
