Each month, we challenge our community to do something that will improve the world around us—and our own lives. September's challenge? To connect.
Send a friend three links they'll love.
My lifelong best friend is an art therapist who doesn't spend much time on the internet. By the standards of how often some of my other friends are online, she's a total outlier. As I'm scrolling through Tumblr and combing through my Google Reader, I've made a habit of bookmarking things that she'd love. Ruminations on art, vintage film stills, little webcomics that speak to one of our inside jokes. I send them all to her Yahoo email address, and it's become a way for us to keep in touch—even though she's never on G-chat or popping up in my Twitter feed.
I also, for the purposes of this challenge, sent my friend Rebecca three photos of Justin Timberlake, to which she responded, "oh. my. god. what. a. delight."
