I have been asked many times for links and resources for various websites, books and inspirational people over the last couple of years. It’s a lot of work to try to compile resources in one place, but here is a start. I will be adding to this over time. If you have anything helpful to add, please email me at rachel @ welfordpurls . com or comment here. It is much appreciated!
