Five Star Friday's Edition #71

Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it; boldness has genius, power and magic in it.

   — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Is it just me, or does it seem like the further we get into autumn, the closer these Fridays seem to be getting to each other? We are on a speed train to winter people! No matter. As long as you people are filling up the weeks with all this excellent weblog reading, it is time well spent.

Remember to leave your mark in the comments on the following posts to let the authors know that you came, read, and enjoyed their work. Comments are love!

Also, LEAVE A URL TO ONE OF YOUR OWN ENTRIES IN THE COMMENTS SECTION HERE. I know it looks like I'm yelling, but really I'm just emphasizing. I like brazen self-promotion. Plus, are 25 blog entries enough to tide us over the weekend? I don't think so. So, pick a post and share it!

Happy Friday!

Great links.  de on September 18, 2009 3:28 PM   All the posts I shared this week are already on this list. I just went away to this one and had to come back & share because it spoke to me. Thanks for doing this every week. Just please don't mention the W word again for a while.  flutter on September 18, 2009 6:22 PM   Thank you, so much for doing this  Polly on September 18, 2009 9:24 PM   Thank you, Schmutzie, for doing this (as ever)! And thanks to whomever nominated my post. The gesture is so very much appreciated. We all do what we can, and connect in these intimate ways most of the time utterly unbeknownst to one another. Your project here (as elsewhere! e.g. Grace in Small Things) goes such a long way towards cutting through the un-beknowing, in the process making community visible and meaningful. Thank you.  Ashleigh Burroughs on September 18, 2009 9:31 PM   Thanks for including the Burrow. As the Little Cuter noted, it's pretty cool to be on a list with dooce! Happy Happy Joy Joy :-)  Kami on September 20, 2009 11:08 AM   I just read DeAnne's post that was nominated above. It really was "heelarious"! Thanks for promoting good writing and laughter.  ingrid on September 22, 2009 5:02 AM   i love the quote. love it.  sn0tty on September 25, 2009 12:08 PM   This is a cool idea - thanks a lot! http://sn0tty.wordpress.com/2009/08/24/the-birthday-monster/  Julie Pippert on September 30, 2009 1:21 PM   Well a bunch of days late but wow, thanks for including me on this list! blog comment guidelines post a comment · Subscribe to Post Comments [Atom] · main
