An addition to my Blogroll

I've never thought about doing this till today, but it makes sense to me for some reason (I can see clearly now?)...But I thought I'd announce from here on out when I add a new blog to my Blogroll, you know, to introduce you.

Today, I've added the Crystle Ball to the list. Owned by Chrystle Fiedler, author of the soon-to-be-released, The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Natural Remedies, this blog will focus on mainstream and alternative health, as well as self-help topics. And since Chrystle writes about the mind-body connection, which we talk about a lot here, I thought she'd be a good fit. Plus, she's a colleague of mine from FreelanceSuccess.com, which I refer to frequently as well, and you can't go wrong with these folks.

If you want to take a look at the other blogs on the list, they're on the left-hand side of the page, under the title, "Blogs that make you go ummmm."

Blogathon: Take 2

Thanks to Michelle Rafter and her idea for the Blogathon I participated in May with a group of writer friends from Freelance Success, Michelle included, I decided to approach the idea with a group of speaker friends from NSA Arizona. They thought it would be a great idea, so here we are. For the month of July, we plan to post at least once a day on our individual blogs. Take a few minutes to see who we all are and what we're all about:
