Post Real World Spiritual and Personal Development

I've just properly committed to my blog and am very much enjoying it and looking forward to the growth of it. It's called Real World Spiritual and Personal Development and is funnily enough about spiritual and personal development in the real world!

My aim is to have helpful posts for people on their journey looking for a bit of inspiration or just to see someone else is going through and has gone through the same thing. Constructive criticism is more than welcome.

Love, light and abundance x x x

I'll post my friend's blog and talk about it--my friend Amanda has started a great blog called "Art of the Steal"--she covers value shopping, fashion and design specializing in finding great outfits for less money. She's a wonderfully witty writer and has a great eye for fashion! It's geared more toward the female demographic but its an excellent website:

Default Something is Happening

My Blog is Something is Happening - I did start it via inspiration from StevePavlina.com but am doing my best to make it about "my" interpretation of the things I've been thinking about, passionate about, etc. most of my life. Spirit, God, LOA, relationships and parenting, etc.

Cool Vera Nadine Blog

Hi all of you fellow personal developers!

I have a blog called Vera Nadine that I've been building for about six months now. It's all about my experiences as an intuitive psychic, including information on meditation (see: video meditation), ascension, hermetics, spirits and life in the natural world.

Medium Adventures: The Geisha Girl is my newest post and involves a hot shower, a spirit Geisha and a creepy stare.

I hope some of your will drop by for a visit.

You might also consider contributing any interesting channeled material that you have to the new Blog Carnival: Spirit Channeling Cornucopia.

Brightest Blessings,
Vera Nadine

I love personal development and I had create a blog based on this interest and passion. P.D stuffs have really help me to improve a lot in many areas of my life.

My blog is called "Insights to Self Help and Personal Development". Needless to say, I share some of my insights on P.D and my personal life with some humor touch in it!

Another reason why I started the blog is because I can start an internet business with it. It feels great when I can focus on P.D and start an internet business based on this passion and at the same time being interactive with some of my readers out there!

Hi everyone Well, for a good laugh at the severely tech challenged you can check out my new blog. The link is in my signature as I'm too tech disabled to make a nice attractive one here in the post.

My blog is about sharing information on LOA and sharing it on an effective level without charging people for it. This new site is an ego Killer for me. I have another blog that has been frighteningly successful as far as devoted readers but it's not Me anymore and has become a huge emotional drain.

I guess I've hit the point in my life where I have no choice but to be completely congruent and rip down remaining facades. Well, anyway, my new blog is good for a laugh...couldn't get rss feeds to work, can't link properly to save my life and Not One visitor. I don't even know how to get google to check me out. My other blog was a xanga that did everything for me but don't like it there.

Hello All -
I have a blog created with a friend. It is called Jenny and Erin.com and our goal is to explore all aspects of life on a tongue-in-cheek quest for understanding.

It would be great if you'd check it out - any feedback is welcome.

What a great idea to have a designated area to discuss our blogs. Personally, I'm brand new at this and I just started one yesterday. It's Chiromom’s Soap Box and it's about empowering women to make healthy choices in regards to health, exercise, pregnancy and beyond. I would love input since I'm brand new at this. Thanks!!!

BTW, there are so many talented people visiting this site. What a fabulous resource!

My blog is geared toward nurses considering or practicing as legal nurse consultants. However, much of the material on it can be fit to just about anyone's situation. For instance, I've posted about time management (with a link to Steve's site), goal setting, and will be posting about organization this week. You can find both the website and the blog linked in my signature.

While the blog is my work, Elizabeth is the backbone of the operation (i.e., she has the nursing/legal credentials). I am primarily the writer/cheerleader.

At some time in the near future (i.e. this summer), I am launching another blog geared toward teens (I have two of my own), with a personal development bent. Still working on that one. So if any of you have any insight to share, please PM me.

My blog is about killing people.

Just kidding.

To sum up my blog, it's about unconventional thinking and having your way with the world, whether when it comes to money, women or life style.

Default Scott Andrew Bird

I started another site a few weeks back; mainly to learn a bit about Wordpress (the free version, that is). It's a personal development blog, which gives me plenty of stuff to write about.

NB : It's a site about my own development, I'm not claiming to be a guru or anything Check it out at Scott Andrew Bird .

Default German Startup blog

My blog deals with everything about startups, entrepreneurship, management, organisation and such.
So if you want to be an entrepreneur, or become a business owner this is probably the right place.
Second, it is in german and will also deal with german laws and commodities.

I feel pretty guilty considering I started this thread but haven't updated my site in a while, pushed myself to do some more work this weekend (cutting a new video).. but it's really hard for me to do a constantly updated blog on equipment reviews (since I have a limited amount of gear)..

Anyone have any suggestions of any elements of the music business I should focus on to get more material ? I have to get out of this case of lightworker syndrome I'm going through

Hello there!

This is Wulfen. I was somewhat active in this forum, specially in the social & relationships subforum, but disappeared from some time. I've been working to get out my site, it's called Éxito Social ("Social Success" in spanish), and it's a web about socialization, pickup, seduction and relationships.

www.ExitoSocial.com

I suppose it will be of interest only to spanish-speaking people on this forum, though I remember there are several of those.

The main goal of my site is to teach basic and advanced sociability skills to guys, and to help them interact with girls from a natural point of view (as opposed to the mainstream, canned methods of the pickup community). Also to show them that pickup and seduction can be a gateway for personal development, as it was for me.

I have articles, news items and forums. So far 20+ articles - with excellent reviews from my visitors -, a couple news, and 50+ users in the forums with 500+ posts.

My main revenue will be live workshops where I take students to clubs and show them how to interact with women (so far we've given one workshop with good reviews, I walk my talk!). I've also put some adsense, but so far the income is negligible since the traffic is very, very low (less than $10 from adsense so far, and the web is up since december :P). I have pagerank 0 at the moment but I am working at increasing my exposure (wink, wink).

I have done an initial work of creating content, and now that there's some core content, I will be splitting my time between content creation and gaining exposure and traffic for the web.

Hey everyone!

I just started (read: still writing a lot of the articles, so there's only one main post) with my blog, called Evolation (evolution+revelation). Evolation is about my explorations of what it means to lead a fulfilling, exciting, euphoric life. I'm only a sophomore in college and 20 years old, but I feel that what I have done with that time--as well as the way I've done it--impresses many people and can serve to inspire them. I've lived more of my life in total awe than I think most people ever experience, and it's that state I want to communicate and impart to others.

I'm also using the site as a way to expand people's consciousness-- as Steve does--through language and visual exploration. Steve is a very forceful read, and he is the best (that I know of) at forcing one to examine themselves; but he lacks lyricism-- that feeling, upon seeing something of true beauty, of reverence. Revelation. Realization.

Life isn't just about moving forward (though if we all learned to keep doing that, we'd be merrily productive and quite content). Life is about being truly moved, by whatever spirit you may believe in--about giving in and tasting the wonder of the moment. I'm trying to find a bridge between these two oft-competing "momentums", and in the connecting I do hope you find something meaningful...

Please let me know what you think of Evolation!

A friend and I have started a new blog called Deep Cuts. We have two sections for it. The first is where we write up little articles about songs that weren't too well known but should have been. In other words, great song recommendations.
The second part of the site will be for new bands to submit their material and we'll review it. It'll be great for new bands as they'll get some exposure.
the blog url is Deep Cuts

Default The Paralegal

Recently I reviewed and revised my goals. It's not that life wasn't going well, it just wasn't going GREAT. One of my goals is to become an authority on paralegal training. As a 10 year veteran in the profession, I have seen lots of good and lots of bad. The bad happens due to lack of training or concise information. The profession is relatively new and therefore not much information can be readily found.

My blog proposes to teach and educate paralegals in their profession and hopefully empowering them (us) to lead fuller lives, be respected professionals where other professionals do not think of us as people who could not make it into law school.

Please take a look at The Paralegal.

Just in case the above link is not posted correctly.... I'm all about covering my bases.... the blog is found at The Paralegal.

My blog (see below) is a hugely popular gadget review site. In the long run I aim to turn it into an extensive resource for technology enthuasiasts, with tips, problem shooters etc. and a thriving discussion board. I want to help people make the most of technology, and this is the best possible vehicle to achieve that goal.

Gizmodo and Engadget have their weaknesses and I'm aiming to be more user friendly and less generic than they are.

My blog is called "I'm An Omnivore". My plan is to experiment with different diets for optimal health, but largely it's about exploring a Paleolithic diet(eating what our ancestors ate). I guess it's kind of like vegan but with meat, fish, and eggs.

I’m an Omnivore

Writing posts takes a lot longer than I expected and I just started in May. Let me know if you have feedback or ideas for posts.

Lightbulb Chronicles of a (Wannabe) Professional Blogger

I saw Steve's Million Dollar Experiment and couldn't resist. Why not help me manifest my million dollars by checking out my website? My website is called Zen Zoomie's Place: Chronicles of a (Wannabe) Professional Blogger. It's my personal experiment in blogging monetization with step-by-step description of how I'm doing to allow others with similar aspirations to follow along.
