Notes

On a side note, the lovely Sandi at the Whistlestop Cafe and Mimi at French Kitchen in America have both tagged me as a "Thinking Blogger"...this is an award given to someone who has inspired them to think. Well...I am so honored but overwhelmed as now I get to choose 5 bloggers who have inspired me to think. This was so hard because there are sooooo many, but here it goes: 1) Lisa over at Project Metta. Visit Lisa's blog and you will be inspired by her Random Acts of Kindness project. What a great way to change the world! 2) Karen Beth over at Zazazu. Her blog is full of lovely inspiration. She makes me think about life in a whole new way. 3) Jody at The Devil's Cloth. I am so inspired by her incredible talent and her links to others who are full of talent. 4) Kate at Kate in the Kitchen. I love Kate's writing...she makes me want to be a better writer. She is also super smart when it comes to all things wine. I love her advice and her intelligence! 5) Last but not least, The Thinking Blog. Appropriate, isn't it? This blog really does make you think about everything going on in the world and also makes you think about things you didn't know you wanted to think about. Just go visit... you won't be sorry!
