Wanted to share some other really groovy websites we have found recently.

Not many people know this but Tara speaks 5 languages.  I only the other hand have trouble with English most of the time.   I grew up in SW Virginia so I know what it’s like to have a drawl.  When I went away to college and proceeded to move to the West coast, most of my accent eventually faded away, unless, I happened to be around someone from the South and then I just fell right into step.  I have a late uncle who was a very accomplished writer.  He wrote like he spoke, southern!  He used to always say, “God talks like we do!”  LOL.  Anyway, I have tried to learn Spanish without spending a fortune.  I have only spent a small fortune.  But I came across a great website that helps you get started and its very helpful.   I even find it enjoyable instead of frustrating.  So have a look or listen.

Ok, I think this website might be one of my all time favorites.  If you already know about it…GOOD FOR YOU.  It has some amazing speakers about a great number of subjects.  You never get bored.  It’s a great place to expand your mind.

Now, I will tell you little secret about me.   I have RSD or CRPS.  RSD stand for Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy and CRPS stand for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.  They are the same but some people and doctors call them different things.  You may know someone who has RSD, other than me and my find this website helpful.  I wouldn’t say it’s one of my favorites but it is one that I spend time on.
