Often, doing blog research leads to incredible discoveries of creativity, insightful ways of seeing the world, small flashes of brilliance and stunning bolts of humor, humility and heart connection. One recent foray into the internet jungle lead me to Blurbomat – the wonderful photo blog site of Jon Armstrong – and his September blog post Reblog this. It’s simple. It’s strong. It’s compassionate. And it’s worth not only rebloging, but adding more to – and passing forward. So, thank you, Jon – and please folks, reblog this, too.
