my summer bookmarks
sharing a quick round up of things that have caught my attention on the internet...
I’m trying something different.
This summer I’ve been bookmarking things on the internet that spark something in me. Things that make me stop, take notice, get curious, or excited. Today, I’m sharing some of those things here. To both save for myself and share with you.
I love a little round up of the internet’s good things. I hope you do too!
These are the things on the internet that have recently caught my attention:

An incredibly thorough and practical guide to giving thoughtful gifts to your people:
As I’ve linked each piece here, I’ve noticed some themes. Practical, intentional, and relational.
I feel like this round up of links turned into an unintentional spiritual practice. Noticing the things from the internet that spark something in me, gathering them in one place, and looking for connections.
At this point in my summer (my life?) it seems that the things that capture my attention are extremely practical (lists of ideas, steps to follow, specific questions to ask) and lean toward being intentional and building connection. This doesn’t feel like a surprise, but it does feel helpful to notice and name.
I might try this again. As always, it seems that most of what I share here benefits me and my own growth first, and my deep hope is it helps you too.
Happy summer!
