I’ve had plenty of time this weekend to catch up on some links I love for January . There’s excellent writing, stories, and advice on the interwebs!
Links I Love (Winter Storm Edition)
After last weekend getting to live it up at the beach in the Charleston area for the long weekend, this week was all about playing catch up. So I saved a TON of links I wanted to read and used the snow days to hunker down and enjoy them. What a difference a week makes!
Last Saturday 
and today
What a week of juxtapositions! Good thing I am busying myself planning for a Disney cruise. Thinking warm thoughts.

Sherry, thank you so much for sharing my post! I was just reading your post to see what fun things to read on our extra snow day–and there it was! You are too sweet! Here’s to more travel adventures and bravery in 2016! (P.S. You were much more productive than I was on our snowbound weekend–I watched waaaay too much Netflix and played games with the family. Tomorrow, back to writing!) 🙂
I’m all about sharing good writing, Julie-my pleasure. Now that you’ve inspired me to be brave, I need to decide my next adventure! 🙂
