Healthy Bites

I do a lot of reading of news sources and blogs online. It’s a great way to keep informed as well as help me find ideas for things to write about and share here. But, I read a lot more than I could ever share… and sometimes others just say it so much better than I ever could. I also network with a lot of great people on Twitter, Linked In, etc… and sometimes I just come across something one of them wrote that I want to share.

Healthy Bites will be my regular attempt to do just that. So check out some of the links below and get a glimpse at what has caught my eye the last week or so.
