Random thoughts, lovely links and a thought-provoking question – this will be a recurring article. I hope you enjoy it. Whenever I spend a little time reading my favorite blogs or exploring the web for quality content, I like to sink into a cozy chair with a favorite beverage – either a hot cup of jo, a steeping soul-satisfying tea or an impressive sipping cocktail. Just a suggestion. Happy reading.
