Happy happy Friday, friends! I am excited about the cold weather we have been having – it finally feels like fall! Someone mentioned yesterday that we were only two weeks away from Thanksgiving. Can you believe that?! Maybe it was the warmer weather we had in October, but it feels like November barely started. I have a busy weekend ahead, but I’m trying to squeeze in a little time to relax before the real craziness of the holiday season kicks into high gear.
Before the weekend gets started, here is some link love to enjoy from this week.
I love this collection of lessons from female entrepreneurs. I have been listening to some of the stories about female entrepreneurs on the “How I Built This” podcast recently and find them so empowering and inspiring. This post was right in line with that and provides real-life business advice from women who have built up their own businesses.
Each Olympic season I am a sucker for the Procter and Gamble “Thank You, Mom” commercials. This year is no exception. I seriously teared up when I saw their new commercial for the 2018 Winter Olympics. It is so sweet.
In the last 24 hours (more like 10 hours), the buzz in the music world has been about Taylor Swift’s new album, but did you hear that Beyonce is going to be in the new live-action Lion King movie?!?!!! So excited!
Ready or not (I’m not), the holidays are coming like a freight train. I’m always intrigued by Oprah’s annual “favorite things” list. While I have never intentionally set out to buy any of the items on her favorite things list, it can be a fun place to find new items that I didn’t know about, get ideas for what other people might like, and see which items I love made the cut.
Last, but certainly not least, the NYC Marathon was last Sunday and I have been reading about it all week. As a runner and a UNC grad, Shalane Flanagan’s win was so exciting! But, I also love seeing the photos of “regular” people, who aren’t necessarily professional athletes, running the big race. The NYC Marathon is such a unique race, spanning across five bridges and through all five boroughs, and seems to really embody the diversity and excitement of the city itself. Seeing these photos makes me want to go on a run too!
Have a wonderful weekend!
