my favourite coffee mug, and weekend update

I received this coffee mug over the summer, a gift from AlphaMom in exchange for an interview. While the interview was fun, I was able to meet the amazing Isabel Kallman and the fabulous LeahPeah, and, let's face it, smart women do thirst for knowledge, I love this mug particularly because it's ceramic, and has a wonderfully deep bowl with which to hold my morning coffee.

I admit it: sometimes my reasons for loving my favourite things are, unlike this mug, rather shallow.

Anyway, lately I've been looking for new blogs to capture my attention. So, while you're having your morning coffee, here are a few that you might also find interesting:

- I originally was drawn to Hula Seventy because of the vivid photography, but I've been really pleased with how her words keep me coming back.

- Speaking of vivid photography, I recently stumbled across Ms. Kathleen. I haven't actually read her yet, but the images! Oh, the images!

- Someone else's blogroll pointed me to Sewn with Gold Threads, where it appears the author has just returned from a trip to Africa; and finally,

- I also haven't read much of True Nature yet, but the author has just traveled to Uruguay, where she plans on making her new home. Also? The soundtrack to her life recently includes Everything But The Girl. You have got to love a person who loves Everything But The Girl. I can't wait to read more.

And speaking of travel, for any of you who secretly aspire to be a travel writer, you might want to check this out. You never know where it might lead.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Wow, you take amazing photographs. Love the coffee mug. You've inspired me to post mine, I'm off to take a photo!

Agreed with Phat Mommy. It takes talent to make a coffee cup look artistic.

I think that's now my favorite coffee mug of all time. It couldn't be more excellent.

Also, I completely agree about Everything But The Girl. Love them. Great idea about the soundtrack of your life. Hmmm. I'll have to think about that. What would yours be?

I can't wait to dive in to these suggestions. Thanks.

And seriously, could you photography be any better? I'll go ahead and answer that for you. No.

K! Loved the pic of the glasses! That is so right up my alley. Can't wait to check out True Nature and Gadling...you know I have itchy feet! Anyway, I am really enjoying the themes of positivity, relationship and mindfulness going on around here! I stop in every day and its like a moment to just take a deep breath and know there's other people sending out good vibes into the world too. AND I finally made the transition to totally natural (no relaxer!) hair! Thanks.
