Between those I follow on Twitter and those I follow on blogs, I’ve been overwhelmed this week with all the amazingly awesome information.
These links are probably about 1% of what makes the rounds out there. The reason I choose them? Because they speak to me. Articles that typically speak to me are straight forward, concise and powerful. I hope these also speak to you.
