Help, me, love, you, glue: 5 for Friday

This week's 5 for Friday has some charity, some love, and some of you, all mixed into one.

Help out with the thousands of people who lost their home by donating generously to the Tornado Victims - Twister Fund.

If you don't have any funds to give, share it on your blog. Details here.

Vicki talks about love, in a post titled "I am."

It's a little bit romance, and a little bit pessimism, but it hits me where I am on this cold winter night.

Pam Thomas challenges you to Go Big or Go Home. To get the full effect, you must click into the comments and read Rocky's comment and Pam's response.

Here's a small taste: "...it really is none of our business what others think of us. It is our business what we think of ourselves."

Leo Baubata shares 5 Ways to Glue Readers to the Page on his new blog Write to Done.

Last and definitely not least is Deb Call, who shares "Parts of Myself I've Been Neglecting." Deb encourages us to think on this thought: "What Parts of Myself Have I been Ignoring, Neglecting, or Denying?" It's a follow-up to "Eliciting Heart Wisdom" and it really made me think about a very important question.

So there you have it. Another 5 for Friday. I promise I'll be talking about lighter stuff next week, like some GREAT customer service stories, a Valentine's contest for a free book, and much more!

If you wrote or read a great article this week, please share it below so we can all learn from you.

Phil, my friend, thank you for sharing the link love. :) You are one in a million! And yep..I truly am a firm believer that it really is none of our business what others think of us; the important bit is what we think of us. If we think and know that we are showing up in this world being the best people we know how to be, well...need I say more? ;)

It's NOT that I have written a great post, but I

Kate says:
"Each time someone realizes it is better to bless than to condemn the world becomes a a brighter place to be"

~May You Be Blessed~

Phil,
First, I love the inventiveness of the title of this post. It immediately drew me in. I appreciate your encouraging us to donate to others recently hit in the tornadoes.
Last, my dear friend, thanks for the link mention!

Phil --

What a great list of blog posts -- something for everyone, and lots to think about.

I just read a funny and on-point post by Drew Rozell on technology and the bigger issue of taking responsibility for everything in our lives. Here's the link: http://www.drewrozell.com/196/cursed-no-more/

Have a GREAT day!
