You, Only Better
Edited by: Ann Colville Somma of Holier than Now
It’s a strange culture we live in: we’re always told Just be yourself!, yet the bestseller list is chock-full of self-help books and memoirs depicting radical change. Finding the balance between total transformation and chilling in our pajamas is difficult, but that’s why I love the blogosphere. Here, inspiration is served up one manageable bite at a time. Want to save the world? Start with vintage beachwear – the purchase benefits disaster victims. Hoping your man evolves into a sharp-dressed diaper-changer? Let’s begin with a chic- and sustainable- Dad’s day gift. Looking for your dream job? Take baby steps by revamping your work wardrobe and taking notes from inspiring entrepreneurs.

On a side note… you may have noticed I’m no longer a regular editor for Links a la Mode. I had an wonderful year and half editing LaLM, getting to know bloggers, and giving back to the AMAZING IFB community. It came at a rather serendipitous time…. when many of my other blogging commitments have ended and at a time when I need to focus on getting dramatis personae back in the swing of things (and continually debating a second blogging venture).
I’ll still be a substitute editor, so you’ll see me popping in ever so often. Jennine has rounded up a great group of bloggers to be the new wave of editors, and I’m excited to see LaLM in their hands!
