Three Extraordinary Sites

As always, I am deeply entrenched in the marvelous halls of the Soul Food Cafe, writing and enjoying the writing of others. We have climbed The Faraway Tree and are watching and waiting as new worlds float by on the passing clouds. Right now I am in The Land of Dreams. Anyone who writes or creates art will fall in love with this site at www.dailywriting.net.

For the last few months I've been receiving e-mail from the FlyLady site, www.flylady.net. How can a site devoted to teaching you to clean your house get such an enormous following of loyal fans? How can it possibly be described as fun? You simply have to subscribe to the e-mails to believe it. "Shine your sink," FlyLady says and hundreds of women run off to shine their sinks, "You can do anything for fifteen minutes," she assures us, and we tackle jobs we've dreaded for years. With humor and love she dispenses common sense and wisdom. She has taken a simple thing like housekeeping and turned it into a life changing experience. If your house is clean but you're exhausted and resentful--try FlyLady--if your place is a mess and you're overwhelmed try FlyLady. You'll be entranced and your life will improve.

Reach--Dabble--Shine is the name of a delightful site, which is new, at least, to me. I enjoy encouraging people in their pursuits and also in just enjoying life, and this is what www.reach-dabble-shine.com is all about. The e-mail group is small right now, but I'm hoping it takes off into the stratosphere. What could be better than gathering together a group of people who are willing to share their dreams and to encourage each other to be "tentatively tenacious"?

The Internet is huge and the urge to explore it is hard to resist, but I've discovered three unique and wonderful sites in which to spend my time. Lucky, huh?
