Birdy Diamond here, your Roving Robin Reporter.

I have been tasked by the lovely Sarah to flutter around the web and bring back news of some of the neat & nifty things we birds (& the occasional bloke) are doing, so we don’t miss anything. (Or at least a lot less than we otherwise might.)

Starters

Some of these are new, some are old friends – all help you make a difference with a simple click of your mouse.

• From “The Daily Tail” comes news of this generous offer: from now until July 4th, Explore.org will donate a companion or service dog to a (U.S.) war veteran for every 5000 ‘likes’ on its “Dog Bless you” Facebook page. Details found here.

• The Freekibble family of sites helps donate food to shelters. Click to answer a trivia Q – right or wrong, you help feed animals in need. Follow them on Twitter (@freekibble) and they will donate another meal.

• Freekibble
• Freekibblekat

• The GreaterGood Network is a rediscovery for me. I used to click regularly back in the early 2000s, when they were just starting out. I was amazed to see how much they have grown over the years. Click once daily at each of their sites to help a variety of causes:

• The Hunger Site: “Your Actions Here Fund Food For The World’s Hungry.”
• The Breast Cancer Site: “Your Actions Here Fund Mammograms For Women In Need.”
• The Animal Rescue site: “Your Actions Here Fund Food And Care For Rescued Animals.”
• The Rainforest Site: “Your Actions Here Fund The Protection of Vital Wildlife Habitat.”
• The Child Health Site: “Your Actions Here Fund Healthcare For Children In Need.”
• The Literacy Site: “Your Actions Here Fund Free Books For Children In Need.”
• The Veterans Site: “Your Actions Here Fund Meals For Homeless And Hungry (U.S.)Veterans.”
• The Autism Site: “Your Actions Here Fund Therapy To Help Children With Autism.”
• EcologyFund.com: “Save Land for FREE!! – Protect 86 square feet every day!”

Take Action

• Michele Théberge. asks “Giving Up Too Soon?“, a piece on Art and Process on Stacey Curnow’s “Midwife for Your Life”.

• Tisha Berg has some suggestions for “What to Do When Your Small Business hits the Doldrums”.

• Matt Cheuvront of “Men without Pants” talks about his commitment to write and how you can silence your own gremlins.

• ‘Artonomy’ blogger Helen Aldous shares some tips on how to ditch “Invisible Artists Syndrome”.

• BolajiO is offering a 7 day “Nocrastinator’s Challenge” starting this Monday, June 6th, 2011! Go here to sign up to join in the doing!

Take a Break

Beauty Break

• Daisy & Harley are having a ball “Bird Watching“(seems appropriate for a blog titled ‘Birds on the Blog’. Look how excited they are at all the avian activity going on outside! :>

• My friend FaeNathara is doing some bird watching too! Tho’ hers is with a camera and decidedly less murderous in intent. :> This momma dove and chick are just so photogenic!!!

Quote Break

• @SeanPlatt – Only follow if it’s Klingon RT @demianfarnworth: What’s the protocol when someone who speaks another language [YOU DON'T SPEAK] follows you?

• @RumpyDog – Why do I want to pay to see an acrobatic act? I watch the best acrobats in the world every morning on my walk. Them squirrels are amazing!

Writing Break

• If you want to do some watching of a different sort, you might want to consider joining in the fun over at “Postcrossing”, the postcard exchange site. (Thnx to @courtcat for the lead! :>)

• The latest introspective writing challenge? #Trust30 from “The Domino Project”. Use quotes from Ralph Waldo Emerson to go inside and explore the notions around trusting yourself.

Take Care of You

• Matt Cheuvront talks about how to avoid “The Fastest Way to Brand Burnout”.

• Jenny Blake of ‘Life After College’ talks about the value of acting “as if” on the blog ‘revolution.is’.

• Havi of ‘The Fluent Self’ talks about the value of going “Widdershins”.

Flying Away

• There’s more out there of course.
• There’s always more.

But for now, I must away, to search out new goodies & delights for next time.

If you have anything you’d like me to include in upcoming editions, please let me know in the comments section or on Twitter @EncouragingBird or the hashtag #rovingrobin.

If you have questions or comments on things you’ve seen here or that you’d like to see in upcoming editions, let me know those too. Again, comments or @EncouragingBird are good methods of contact.

Until next time!
Chirp, chirp! :>
