The fact that this is already the second Friday in September has me a little freaked out, but I’m pushing past my distress to bring you this week’s Five for Friday (with bonus links in item 3. Because I’m a giver.)
- Have you been keeping an eye on the Syrian refugee crisis as it unfolds? If you, like me, sit around wondering what you can possibly do at times like this, remember that even small donations make a difference. Mercy Corps spends 87% of its resources on helping people in need.
- No doubt we’ve all had moments when we feel like our lives are falling apart. Here’s a great article that explains why that’s a good thing.
- On a lighter note—if you’re looking for new reading material this weekend, but don’t have the time or energy to start a novel, here are 7 women writing fabulous short fiction. (Bonus: links to the complete text of some stories in the article!)
- It’s the (second) most wonderful time of the year: Pumpkin Spice Lattes are back! Here’s how Starbucks made the return of the PSL an annual event.
- And as long as we all have pumpkins on the brain, why not whip up a batch of this awesome Pumpkin Pecan Granola this weekend?
Pat yourself on the back for making it through another week. See you Monday!
