I spent some time looking through my 2013 tweets, and wow, I really crack myself up. Also, I was kinda embarrassed over how many of my tweets were about food. Thought I’d share a few of my favorites with ya. Here goes re-tweeting myself…
Going to the dentist where they will ask me if I’ve been flossing regularly & I will say yes. Then they will floss my teeth & make me bleed.
My daughter’s face, when singing along to some Adele, is terrifying.

# 1. FREE BOOK—Tattoos On The Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion by Gregory Boyle.
Um, wow. This book! Here’s what Anne Lamott said about it, “An astonishing book… about suffering and dignity, death and resurrection, one of my favorite books in years. It is lovely and tough and tender beyond my ability to describe and left me in tears of both sorrow and laughter.” Language warning: it’s PG-13. If you don’t win the book, check out Gregory Boyle’s TED Talk (also PG-13). Be the first one to comment on this blog post & I’ll send you a copy (scroll down to the bottom of this page to comment).

#4. VIDEO—The Wife Song by Tim Hawkins.
#6. VIDEO—New Order’s 2nd Reunion Tour.
I’m a child of the ’80′s and I listened to New Order back in the day. I saw them perform on Jimmy Kimmel the other night and couldn’t believe how awkward this looked. I almost thought it was a spoof.
#7. VIDEO—New Order 27 Years Ago Same Song.
Not a thrilling performance. Apparently stage presence isn’t his thing – but I do prefer this (closed eyes, no movement at all) over what it looked like more recently. What do you think?

I hope you will take 4 minutes to read this brilliant, truthful, encouraging post by Jonathan. Here’s a brief quote:
