As a blogger, I’ve learned to really enjoy subscribing to other blogs. Not only do I have fun reading all kinds of points of view, but I learn a lot too.

Here’s a post on a blog I follow that gives us roughly 60 new and original recipes for cupcakes. I feel like rushing to the kitchen to bake some….

 Enjoy!

My friend, Philissa is a terrifically talented cake decorator. In fact, she made the most fabulous wedding cake for my daughter’s wedding. Now she’s decided to venture into the world of the blogosphere.

Welcome, Philissa! But I warn you…blogging is addictive! 

Everyone go visit Philissa’s new blog and tell her how great it looks!

Photo of the Room the Boy Stayed in - Glowing Slightly!

A reader of this blog, Olivia, was wonderful enough to send me some photos she took of the room the boy stayed in that show a slight glow coming from the window.

I admit that it’s not a strong glow, but it could definitely be a glow.

You can click to see the larger version on Flicker.

What are your thoughts?

Jack Yoest presents Rocky Balboa: Courage, Integrity, Faith, Victory The Movie posted at Reasoned Audacity, saying, “Your Business Blogger was in Philly recently and wondered about the Rocky statue that was briefly at the top of the 72 steps to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Since September, the statue is now at the base of the steps.

So I decided to ask the man who might know, Sylvester Stallone.

Why? I asked him.

Rocky Sly says, It’s better where it is — at the base of the steps. At the top was the completion — the end — but it’s not the completion that counts — it’s the journey. The Effort; The Passion.”

One of my fellow B5 bloggers, Ingrid Diaz, sent me an email with this in the signature:

“There are two types of people in the world: those who are good with words, and those who … erm … thingie.”

I laughed out loud!  Thanks for the smile, Ingrid!

I was just sent this cute animated holiday message and thought it would be great to share. You can view it here. 

 Happy Holidays!! 

I’m a huge fan of reality shows , and one of my favorites is The Amazing Race. Well this season, my favorite team was eliminated about halfway through the race. It was the Cho brothers, Edwin and Godwin. They were just the most kind and honest guys that I think have ever played the game.

The good news is that they went back home and started a business to help starting artists. They help sell the artists’ work, then a portion of the profits go to do good work. It’s their own version of “random acts of kindness.”

I love the concept. It’s a little like the “pay it forward” idea.

If you are interested in helping new artists get started or in helping other worthy causes, you should go check out their site: alittlekarma.com
