Friday Linky Love

I wrote about being “down” this week and it got a lot of interesting comments (on and offline) as well as from my friends, all around the world. I have had lunch dates, e-mails and phone calls from my “in real life” friends and it has sparked quite the debate, in a definitely positive way.  I realized some of what I said (like any writing) can be taken differently from each individual.

As a clarification, my intent wasn’t to be exclaim: this way is right and the other way is wrong, but to write from my perspective and experience, how I have come to respect each individual’s lifestyle and needs, while simultaneously learning to understand how I operate to better understand others. That is really the bottom line. So to everyone who shared, thank you for contributing, listening and pushing me to think even further.

With that being said, I actually plan on doing not much this weekend and I can’t wait

• Not So Literal: Keep Your People Up
• Live the Charmed Life: Searching for Serendipity
• Girls Around Chitown: The Power of Silence
• Restless Like Me: You Aren’t Qualified
• Good Magazine: 15 Things You Should Know About Breasts (Come on, I know you’re going to click on it. It’s important!)

I also wrote a guest post this week for my friend, Beth Oppenheim-Chan over at 25 and Trying:
