One of my favorite things about blogs is when people post links to things they've read or loved. I'm thinking of doing that. I like to read them on Friday night as I siiiiiiiink into the weekend from the structure of the week. 

// A long read look deep inside Taco Bell's reinvention of the crunchy taco

// A graphic look at human ingenuity (of which I cannot get enough of!) and the tenacity of the human spirit -- be forewarned that this is about a face transplant and discusses suicide

// The bicycle as feminist icon

// This podcast episode with Mike Foster and Annie Downs is raw -- this is a compassionate and earnest look at longing and living with it

// I'm gearing up for my yearly battle with Winter and this mug looks like a good thought?

// Did you see that you can sign up for the Launch Team of my next book Preach to Yourself? -- it's come to my attention that they asked for some crazy info about your followers (like who even HAS a tumblr?!)...you know I could NOT care less about that, right? I truly believe that a genuine recommendation from a friend is 10x more valuable than a shout out on social media.

Next week, I'm going to take Leslie Lee's challenge and I'm going to give it my best shot to write about seeing the workplace as a place of discipleship. I will also take a hard, bright look at the lie I told myself all last year...I'm not good at making disciples. I'm also going to take a summer retrospective full of personal pics, if that's your sort of speed.

-------------------

Would you tell me in the comments the places you love to spend time on in this World Wide Web? I'm just interested in the kinds of ladies who are gathering here. 

I love:

The Atlantic // Cup of Jo // Go Fug Yourself // Reading My Tea Leaves // The New Yorker // Christianity Today // Lindsey Kubly  and a BILLION others ("input" is one of my strengths and I've always loved reading and loved the Internet)...but that's a start.

xo, guys! hayley
