I am in Indonesia this week.

Saw this – and it made me smile.

Kind of a crappy way to feel special!

Here is a peek at what I've been reading lately. These are the links I saved this week.

Hope you find some interesting and enjoyable tidbits.

Let me know if you read something I'd like … Or if there are other sources I should add to my weekly reading.
