This woman, later in life, retired on a relatively, very-tiny boat. And she's extremely, extremely positive: http://janice142.com/

If I let the critic in me show (Janice would not) I would say while her writing is not perfect (who's is?) she more than makes up for it by bringing real joy to the reader's life.

The topics may not be of any interest to you, but her extreme positivity will be. I'd bet on it.

Give a few articles a read :)

(and her website loads really fast!)

Edit, a quote from Janice: "No job ever turns out as easy as originally thought to be. There are always glitches but how we "roll with the punches" determines our ultimate success. And I intend to succeed."

WARNING: You may find yourself staying up all night to page through one of them in entirety. I did.

http://brandur.org/ is one I've recently discovered but it's become by far my favourite both in design, content and how it's built.

Oldie, but goodie:
