Every Wednesday, I gather together and share some great blog posts from the around the Internet. This week, we visit with Lisa Bettany and her globetrotting ways. One of the destinations on her lengthy bucket list was Cambodia and Lisa was anxious to get the perfect shot of Angkor Wat at sunrise. She was hoping for relative solitude, only to be overwhelmed by the massive crowd hoping to get the same perfect photo. Then, she got snapped back into reality with an even better shot of an even better moment.

I find blogging to be quite therapeutic for organizing your thoughts.
As a work-at-home entrepreneur, I’ve had stretches where I might not leave my house for days at a time. It’s not healthy, I know. Conor O’Gorman agrees, encouraging everyone to go outside every day. You really need to make this a priority, both for you and your children, because life is not meant to be lived through a television and a computer screen. Even if the weather isn’t agreeable, go out there and enjoy some fresh air.
