Ain't life wonderful?

Got sent one of those emails today... where you are supposed to send it to however many friends and something good will happen to you. At the risk of sounding like a kill joy (or a grumpy old woman), I'm really not into those things - I dislike them intensely. They are like junk mail from people you know and respect - weird. But, I got one today and I opened it (I like to give the senders the benefit of the doubt) and I'm so glad I did. Maybe its because I'm in love (yes... again) but it really spoke to me. So rather than send it to my friends as instructed, I thought I'd share it with the entire world... enjoy!

Inspirational places online round up

Spent some (long overdue) time today browsing blogs and communities I'd like to connect with and thought I'd share a few of my finds with you...

First up - if you haven't already discovered the Wiggly Wigglers podcast, then you are in for such a treat... http://www.wigglywigglers.co.uk/. I met Heather (MD of Wiggly Wigglers) at the Corporate Podcasting Summit earlier this week. She is a top bird and I'm going to interview for my podcast v. soon.

Then two I came across for the first time today...

http://www.bean-sprouts.blogspot.com/ - one family's search for the goodlife

http://www.optimistlab.com/ - experiment with joy

And I was doing some admin over at another blogsite I look after (www.ScurvyElephants.com) when I came across another social networking site which I've barely had time to visit since I signed up - Zaadz.com/ - let's change the world.
