Welcome to the 62nd edition of the Hippie Dabble Digest! This week’s Digest has all of the usual sections minus a This and That section because I just didn’t find a whole lot this week. If you have any thoughts or suggests on new sections or links you want to see put into the Digest, let me know by emailing me at tessa@hippiedabble.com.

I found this site awhile ago and really like it.
