It's been exactly a 5 weeks since I published my last weekly digest. This also makes it the longest absence I've had on the blog since I started it. I could go on and give you a handful of excuses, but I won't. It just was a tough month personally and professionally and I really didn't have the time to sit down and put my links in order. Or the desire. But I missed it. Turns out this process of carefully going through my bookmarks and newsletters and curating the most interesting parts of it all was something that brings a lot of joy. So I promised myself to avoid such long radio silences. Now on to todays goodness. Naturally, more than the usual 6. I hope you find something to make you smile!
