At the end of the week, it’s time to reflect. Here are the top three items that caught my attention on the net.

1. I discovered David McRaney’s You Are Not So Smart blog. He posts articles that challenge your thinking habits and biases. This blog provides great food for thought. I’m not the only one that thinks so. David’s blog was named one of the top 100 sites of 2010 by PC magazine.

2. The next article I found was from Marianne Cantwell. It emphasizes the importance of finding a career that works for you. Her website, Free Range Humans provides a wealth of information for those seeking a personally meaningful and non-traditional career path.

3. A third highlight of the week for me was finding Gretchen Rubin’s site The Happiness Project. I imagine many of you have already heard about this project and have seen her work. I found many insightful articles there, especially her personal look at the joys and challenges of being herself.

I enjoy surfing the net and plan to share three weekly highlights from my exploration every Friday. To illustrate this weekly blog, I’ve decided to feature a flower that’s blooming in my city. Victoria is known as the city of gardens and I am surrounded by beauty!
