@Elizabeth - Glad you like the post! Thought it was easier to lay out everything with categories than in a long list on the sidebar. Of course, feel free to lift the post to your resources.
Up late? No such thing! :)
This is an amazing list Michelle! It must have taken a very long time to compile all of this information and make it into such a user friendly list. I happily added this to the resources page on the Soul Salon International site. You are such a light!
