There were so many good links this month that my round-up is extra large! I hope you don't mind ;)

Dear Clemintine via Clementine Daily
"Some of us follow a path and never wander off course no matter what beautiful adventures wait just beyond our route. I’ve come to terms with these sorts of people, but I am not one of them. I happen to love when a carnival pops up unexpectedly, and I’ll stop for birthday cake any day of the week."

Do Less by Chelsea Latimer {video}
One of my long-time favorite bloggers has created a video version of one of her old blog posts. I love this idea, and I hope she continues to make these videos!
Sometimes a Run Is Just a Run, but Sometimes It's a Prayer via The Necessary Wild
This post is just beautiful: "Sometimes the prayer is a request. For peace of mind. For an hour of clarity to see things as they really are. For the truth to be found in the confrontation with the physical self, a subtle reckoning that echoes on repeat. Right foot, left foot, breathe in, breathe out."
The Smarter Way to Shop J.Crew via Refinery29
"Thanks to these codes, over 50% of all J.Crew merchandise can be accessed at a deeper discount than the price listed on site. The average promotion offers 30% off the ticket price, but 40% off isn't unheard of, either. Promotions typically last six days — sort of like mini-flash sales."
44 Stock Photos That Hope to Change the Way We Look at Women via Buzzfeed
"Getty Images launched the “Lean In Collection” Monday in partnership with LeanIn.org, featuring more than 2,500 photos of female leadership in contemporary work and life."
The Questions That Will Save Your Relationships by Glennon Melton on HuffPo
"Through therapy, we learned to ask each other better questions. We learned that if we really want to know our people, if we really care to know them -- we need to ask them better questions and then really listen to their answers. We need to ask questions that carry along with them this message: "I'm not just checking the box here. I really care what you have to say and how you feel. I really want to know you."
11 Easy Ways to Meditate (Even If It Seems Impossible) via Mind Body Green
"The trick is to do one thing a day with absolute mindfulness. Dwell completely in that moment. Feel everything, every physical sensation, and every subtle emotion that swells up inside. Breathe slowly, and smile at the stillness."
Getting Organized on Goodreads via So Obsessed With
A detailed post with tips and ideas for keeping your digital bookshelves organized. I especially love the tip about separating out your wishlist from your list of books to be read.
I Get By With a Little Help from My Friends (But Could Ask for More of It) via Greatest Escapist
" I don't want to be an inconvenience to those who care about me, because in my mind, inconvenient > bothersome > needy > clingy > get the hell away from me. Yes, my mental slippery slope is apparently so slippery that I fear my friends will literally stop being my friends if I ask them to help me do something I can't do by myself."
State of the Blog Union via Design*Sponge
"... today I’m sharing my own state of the union- the blog ‘union’- and how we’re doing as a community. This is my 10th year of blogging and this year in some way feels like the first all over again. I feel like bloggers are up against some of the biggest challenges ever, but after a year of trying to wrap my head around all the obstacles (and it really took me a full year), I’ve finally come down to one conclusion: these are changes that will make us better, stronger and more well rounded people. Not just bloggers, but people."
