Fav Blog Posts to Check Out!

I find myself in an emotional muddle, with nary a cohesive thought to write.  Yesterday close friends in our neighborhood just moved away to a distant state.  Today my washing machine just quit with a load of wash still sitting in water.  Since I'm not in the frame to write, I do the next best thing and find solace in hanging out in the blogosphere reading the words of my blogging buddies. 

It is apparently what the doctor ordered, as I have found much candor, wisdom, depth, and humor in the following posts (in no particular order):

For sheer candor in the art of being human, take time to read these posts:

- Tom Volkar - When Doubt is Good.  Tom's post, sprinkled with earthy language, shines with transparency.  I find myself laughing out loud.  We all go through periods of doubt.  If we can recognize when we are in the period of "good doubt," we can find the courage to hang with it to get to the next place.

- Liz Strauss - The Minute I'm Sure I"m Right, I'm Most Certainly Wrong.  Liz discusses how support can hinder others.  How difficult we all find it to admit we are wrong, but to go public takes a big person.

- Barbara Sliter - The Unintended Impact of Certainty.  Certainty is valued.  Uncertainty is pooh-poohed.  Yet being "less certain" can make room for other voices.  Thanks to Barbara for opening up this topic in a new way.

For your daily dose of wisdom, enjoy these posts:

- Dan Oestreich - I Am the Pot.  What leaders can discover when they are silent  . . . and listen.

- Chris Bailey - Open Letter to Fellow Career Zigzaggers. Why the world needs both straight-liners and zigzaggers!

- Marcia Reynolds - Your Goals May Be Killing You.  The distinction between creative productive goals and outcome goals, and how the former can bring you more happiness.

- Andrea Hess - Shredded Cheese and Manifesting Money - Read how attracting money should be as easy as picking up shredded cheese at the grocery store.

- Terry Starbucker - The Most Useless Word in the English Language.  Go check out the link to find out the word!

Hey Deb, thanks for including me in your all star lineup. Most of these folks are my buddies as well but I'll check out the couple who I've not met yet. Blessing to you.

Thank you, Deb. I appreciate the shoutout on my Career Zigzaggers post. I think there's much more to say about it so look for more similar thoughts in the future. Be well.

Always nice to be noticed. Thank you so much, Deb.
