This past week we got big news…. our house sold! It had been on the market for 5 weeks, not that long, but long enough that the process of selling (open houses, etc) had gotten old! Selling a house that you love is hard- especially in this economy where you don’t necessarily get what you think your house should be worth.  I have stayed pretty positive about the experience, but will admit I have had my fair share of pity parties too! When I am in that sort of funk, I usually seek out something that helps get my head on straight again, helps me remember what really matters- you know? So coming across a blog called An Inconvenient Tumor was just what I needed this week. It is the online diary of Christie and Bryan and “and their commitment to life, each other and kicking cancer’s big fat ass.” Just thought I would share it in case any of you need a little something like that this week. I think their story and attitudes are pretty inspiring.

Another find this week that I LOVE and I am totally doing… Secret Agent L. They specialize in anonymous acts of kindness and day brightening. If you have ever wanted to be an undercover agent- here is your chance! You can sign up for their affiliate program and Secret Agent L will send you your assignment. It could be leaving a note on a bench to be found telling a stranger that they are awesome or leaving dog treats in baggies at a dog park. The whole point is to do something little that will brighten someone else’s day. If we all did this, I think the planet would shine a little brighter!

Have you discovered Wedding Chicks yet? If you haven’t, head on over! I am a preferred vendor for San Jose/ Monterey. Woohoo!
