Tuesday Treasures: Your Unique Parachute
“Tuesday Treasures” is a weekly series. It is such a fun uplifting title that I can’t resist using it! I have a few treasures to share with you today. I hope they add a little sparkle to your day and week!
New & Exciting
- Spring’s February video is up. The topic is: SUPPORT! This month, we’re excited to share a new video each Tuesday on this topic. Be sure to check it out and post a comment for a chance to win one of the fabulous giveaways!
Online Treasures
- A Few Lovely Blogs
- Hula Seventy - the photos are breathtaking
- Artists Who Blog – meet incredible artists and take an inside peak at their creative lives
- A Traveling Journeyer – addicting inspiration
- Sweet & Dainty - the name says it all :)
- I Believe in Love – a beautiful new book available for pre-order by Marisa Haedike of Creative Thursday
- Bell’occhio – one of my favorite stores filled with unique treasures for Valentine’s Day
- Checkster – a free online tool that helps you assess your talents with the help of friends (description below quoted from “What Color is Your Parachute?“)
- You submit the names of six people who know you and your work well…. Checkster sends them a request, on your behalf, to fill out a short questionnaire about you (five to seven minutes) and submit it back to Checkster within a mandatory seven-day time period. Their names are then separated from their feedback, and an anonymous summary report is given to you summarizing what all these friends and acquaintances together perceive are your strengths and your uniqueness. Only you ever get this free report, and you can use it or discard it, as you wish. Use it to see what these people think is unique about you. Discard it if you think they’re way off base. Choose six other people, and do it again.
