Trifecta: Week Forty-One

We never realized what an impact three little words could have.  And how many different ways just three words could be strung together.  There was a lot of wisdom packed into each entry this week.  In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about Trifectans: they always amaze.    

In first place we have, Not Just Another Mommy Blogger with three words that ring true and serve as a reminder to stay in the present because that's where all the action is.

In three words
I can sum up everything
I've learned about time:
everything happens now.

Selfbegotten Sense takes second with a piece that requires a second (or third) read to bring home his clever words about growth and development.  Rounding out the top three this weekend we have Edward Hotspur with a truism that no consenting adult can disagree with.

Congratulations to all our winners.

We are happy and excited to have our first post up for critique.  Please hop on over to the critique instructions tab on our home page to find out more about our critiques.  This week's post can be found on the current critique tab.  Please read the post and give your fellow Trifectan some constructive criticism on what works and what might need some fine tuning.  A big thanks goes out to our first contributor.  It takes courage to be the first, anonymous or otherwise.

And now on to the weekly challenge.
