Welcome! This blog is a collection of things that made Alice look twice. Sometimes more. Home Twitter Tags SubscribeTumblr (3.0; @whatalicefoundbefore)http://whatalicefoundbefore.tumblr.com/<p>I have been tumbling as a way of bookmarking and sharing what captures my attention, and, lately, I&#8217;ve been wanting to focus on a more specific theme. <br/>So, I&#8217;m going to end &#8220;What Alice Found&#8221; as a random collection of links, and  restart it as a more of a personal inspirational tumblr. </p> <p>I&#8217;m just giving you guys a little notice, as it would be weird to change the blog&#8217;s focus out of the blue.</p> <p>The new tumblr will be at <a
