Hi everyone! 2013 is almost over and I am glad to have made it all the way with my “Speedlink” roundups. This was one of my goals this year and by not missing any single week is a good achievement for me and I am happy. Hopefully all readers of my blog also enjoyed skimming through my roundups, and for 2014, I intend to continue on. I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a peaceful, healthy and successful 2014. And thank you, once again, for your support. As always, none of this happens without you…
