I wasn’t surprised when I found out that one of my strengths according to Strengths Finder 2.0 is my knack for collecting information. Strengths Finders calls it “Input”. What I have come to realize is that this passion for learning new things really comes alive when I can share my joy with others.
So it is in that spirit that I offer you my recent discoveries. I hope to be offering these a few times a year as I collect awesome information that is worthy of sharing. I hope that this collection brings you joy and refreshment!
Drum roll please…
