Ooo we’re at numero venti for Fascinating Friday Links today!
I apologize for this coming to you a wee bit later than usual, but I was speaking at a college process meeting for junior (11th grade) parents last night until about 8:15. Then when I came home, all I wanted to do was eat dinner and go to sleep. In reality though, I needed to work on an essay.
Anyway, I’ll just give y’all the links that I’ve been loving this week. There are some really cool articles in the health and fitness section especially!

So many good reads…the “Bulk story” really hit home for me. I’ve always tried to avoid getting any form of bulky muscle but back when I was riding it kind of came with the sport. And yesss to “I don’t give a damn”. Davida’s post on success/failure is just so incredible. I notice that sort of thing way too much these days. We need to get every.one to read that 😉
Amen, girl. All awesome posts, right?
I always love your food for thought links. They really are inspiration and get me self reflecting! 🙂
