DB Echo sez it best with his What I've learned so far: Advice for beginning bloggers ...
Amazing to me how many people blog their own minds but have no interest in others. Then, they wonder why no one is reading their blogs... So silly.
Even the hugely successful Joe.My.God... His whole blog is a public service providing links and readers to others... With love...
Taking a page from Greg... Here's some additional Random Thoughts of my own...
Palm Springs blogger Steven Michael wrote a nice plug for Postcards from Hell's Kitchen yesterday... "where us West Coasters can live vicariously through these pages of Manhattan Madness and Pop Culture Clashing... I found myself running late for work as I dove into the rest of the blog’s offerings. I’m bookmarking the page and encourage you to do the same." Needless to say, I've added iamstevenmichael to my blog list at right and will be stopping by over at his place...
DB Echo got me thinking, how glad I am that I pretty much completely ignored every detail of the Casey Anthony stuff...
Alan's blog titled No Good Deed Goes Unpunished reminds me that I want to re-read "Co-Dependent No More" this summer.
Gratitude for Dave's ongoing inspiration...
And Ralph Marston's great quotes:
A very important person is watching your every action, listening to your every word, and knows your every thought. That person is you... Imagine yourself a year from now, looking back on today. Imagine your future self being exceedingly thankful for the way you lived this day. ...Then step forward and live today with that in mind. Think, speak and act in such a way that the person you will become inherits many positive benefits from the person you are right now....Confidence, integrity, strength and effectiveness do not simply appear out of nowhere. They are built by the way you live your life... And now is your opportunity to live in a powerful, positive way that will benefit your life for a long time to come. Now is your chance to make your future self thankful for the empowering paths you choose to take. -- Ralph Marston
