Missed reblogging Staci’s Friday Finds on Friday (more on where I was in another post) but this week’s post is a great one, as usual. Do stop by 1) for the super inspirational weekly quote, and 2) for her terrific list of links to all sorts of good stuff!

Ciao, amici! How was your week? Mine was a mixed bag. I started rolling out some new features on my blog and hope to continue that next week. Every day, Monday through Friday, now has a theme, though I’m willing to preempt days (primarily Tuesdays) for promotions.

It’s always somewhat of a relief to know that you aren’t alone in feeling overwhelmed now and then, isn’t it, especially if the other person has some words of wisdom to share. Staci always does! 🙂 I’m glad you found them helpful, perhaps some of the writing links will come in useful, as well. 🙂 ❤
