Inspiring, informative, useful, or just plain fun tweets posted on Twitter over this past week … collected here to share with our blog readers.
This week we have a very light wrap, as I took a nice break from the activity and relaxed with my family over these precious days of Christmas sharing and holiday cheer. This is always the slowest time of year for traffic here on the site and out on social media, as everyone takes a much needed break after a busy year. I hope everyone is having a special time, surrounded by loved ones, reflecting on all the good things this life has to offer, and looking forward to a productive, fun new year in 2016. Thank you all so much for being a part of the site's most exciting year yet!
