Lindsay Likes...An Introduction

Where do I begin? That's always the hardest part of any new venture. I guess you're probably wondering where I came up with this idea, and why on earth anyone but my mother would want to read about my "likes?"


The idea for this blog came to me suddenly the other day. I must confess the lightbulb went off in my head about the time my manicurist, Biv, started applying the second coat of nail polish to my mini-sized fingernails. Lately, like many of you, I've found myself surrounded by an excessive amount of negativity. Watching and reading the news, struggling with the job market and hearing stories of woe; I often lose track of all the positive things around me and in my life. With so many extraordinary people, places and things in this world it couldn't hurt for us to spend a few minutes here and there focusing on what we like. When you stop to consider your list of likes, no matter how great or few, you instantly feel better (at least I do)!


So why should you be interested in my "likes?" My goal is not for you to get to know me better or for me to tell you what you should like. Rather, my hope is that by sharing my "likes" in a light-hearted and hopefully entertaining manner, you'll be inspired to focus on your own favorite people, places and things. By concentrating on the good, I believe we do more good- not only for ourselves but for others.
