After a hiatus, I’m back to doing a once weekly list of links. It’s simple, I post the link, you click over or not. Read… if you dare. Warning: you may be feel emotions ranging from extreme anger to waves of sadness. Unless you’re heartless or dead. Do dead folk read blogs?

A Woman Inspired price discount and (wow!) my video

First of all…

My little rambling-thoughts video about my mom and her story has been selected for display at the A Woman Inspired conference website. Go, me!

Seriously, what an honor that goofy me could make a video that speaks into the hearts of women. This is exactly the kind of blogging I want to do. *content, happy sigh* There are other videos posted as well; go check them out and leave a comment.

And… until April 1 (no joke!) the registration fee is only $12.95. I wish the conference was today, I can’t wait to get started. *more sighing*

Update: They are still accepting video submissions, and it looks like ALL will be posted at the AWI website. Don’t be shy, girls! If I can make a video, and not turn out as a dweeb, you can too.
