Positive Thinking

“Deep,” “uplifting,” “inspirational,” “blessed,” are all words used to describe Kenny McBride and his blog, Positive Thinking – A Realistic Approach (which officially enters our ranks as our first blog from Scotland—congratulations, Kenny!). What is it that people are talking about? It is the realistic, life-centered, practical approach that Kenny uses to help people form their lives into one that is more positive and content.

Positive Thinking – Why You Should Go

These descriptive words from Kenny’s bloggers say a lot. Positive Thinking is worth your while because it does present realistic ways to maximize your life through positive thinking. Kenny’s approach is not entirely unique, but his realization of why this works just might be. He says, “Failing to accomplish your goals is a common trait. The reason for this is your approach to goal setting. Planning your goals around the life you have will ensure you get to the life you want, it’s just a simple strategy of one step at a time.”

Kenny’s advice and posts are very much grounded in starting at the point you are at to build a pathway to success that always includes you and the life you are living, and not just focus on a future far away. It’s a concept shared on various levels with other success coaches and experts, but one that may this time be communicated in a way you haven’t considered; perhaps one that you can connect with more easily.

Summing Up Positive Thinking

Kenny McBride shares some proven concepts on his blog, but puts things in terms and perspectives that make it easy to relate and implement. As he says, if you need, or “know someone who needs a little help in their life…tell a friend about this blog” and see if it’s not the one that finally makes simple sense of positive living for you.

Category: Literature, Reviews

Topsyturvydom

Rob Spence is a “Lecturer in English Literature, and a proud Mancunian” with the generosity to share his love of literature and fine works with the world. His blog, Topsyturvydom, is the place where he gets to reach beyond the confines of his lecture halls to bring his wealth of knowledge and insight to a much wider audience.

Topsyturvydom – Why You Should Go

Of course, there are those, too, who share this already higher level of literary exploration, and for them Topsyturvydom is a place to meet with peers, a place to explore and discuss the works that Rob Spence presents through his many reviews and discussions of quality literature, while also offering up tidbits of musical appreciation and tales from his worldly travels.

From EHarmony To Red Pine Mountain

Red Pine MountainRed Pine Mountain

In the quiet of the Red Pine Mountaintop in the US Northeast Kingdom, more commonly known as the US state of Vermont, is a transplanted southern girl who writes about finding love and a new life on the world wide web. That girl is Mountain Woman, who uses her blog as a place to show that love really is possible on the internet, and that healing from the past is possible, too.

Red Pine Mountain – Why You Should Go

Red Pine Mountain is best categorized as a personal blog, but it is also in part a lifestyle blog, as many posts illustrate the way of life of the northern mountain-dweller. The blog is more than, that, too. It is also Mountain Woman’s place of positivity and expression; “I focus on issues that are important to me and my personal growth. I try to be positive and this blog is a reflection of my point of view. I do know there are people who find this way of thinking unrealistic; syrupy, I’ve even heard it called, but if I allow myself to get mired in negativity, I won’t accomplish my goals. Every problem becomes insurmountable and the smallest step forward impossible.”

To this end Mountain Woman writes about topics such as faith and religion (including her journey from forced-childhood religion to disbelief and back to true faith again), love, the effects of negativity on the world, the stories of her life and reflections on life in general. These are stories that are offered in the spirit of camaraderie and sharing, not to preach or teach, but simply to discuss.

Summing Up Red Pine Mountain

Mountain Woman writes with care. She is open with her readers and respectful of opinions, truly welcoming her community into her life. Hers is a blog to read if you find yourself in need of a place to enjoyably contemplate life, or are in search of a friendly spirit to connect with on the web.

Now that you know why there are never any negative blog reviews here, maybe you’re left thinking—”yeah, but there are so many great blogs you’re missing!” We couldn’t doubt in the least that that is the truth. As you might imagine, though, there aren’t enough hours in the day to explore and find all the excellent, deserving blogs on the net.

Really, Though—You’ve Got To See This Blog!

If that little voice in your head is screaming out at us that you know where there is a top blog that we’re missing (or maybe you’re talking to your monitor again? :) ?) then don’t keep it to yourself—do share!

We are happy to consider blog review requests and recommendations. We encourage your participation! As we’ve done in the past, we simply ask you to leave us a comment and a link to the blog. We’ll add it to the list of blogs to cruise and carefully consider it for review; and if it’s as good as you say it is, odds are great that you’ll be reading about it here in the near future!

I Don’t Know A Particular Example, But I’d Sure Love To See A Blog About…

You do not have to have a specific blog in mind to make a request. Even if you only know the topic that you’d like to see represented, we can accommodate and do the searching for the benefit of you and all of our readers. There are so many categories and topics of blogs out there, and many yet to be represented here. So tell us what we’re missing, and we’ll be happy to take that under careful consideration, too.

Submitting Blogs And Topics For Review

It’s simple to let us know what you’re thinking—just leave a comment below this post. Give us the link or the topic, and maybe a quick (optional) explanation of why you think the blog or topic deserves our attention. Everything gets considered, but we do ask that you recommend worthwhile blogs with good content in one form or another. Remember, this is an international effort, so blogs from anywhere are greatly appreciated (unfortunately, though, English is the only language that we can understand at this time, so they’ll need to be either English-based blogs or blogs with good translation).

As always, your efforts to help Digg along are greatly appreciated!

Entrepreneur’s-Journey.com – Why You Should Go

Rocking Your Day With Dave Navarro

Rock Your DayWhere to Find Rock Your Day:
Blog URL: http://www.rockyourday.com/
Category: Development, Productivity

Rock Your Day

No, not that Dave Navarro, sorry. No less inspiring nonetheless!

This Dave Navarro happens to be a life coach and expert in turning your successful life up a notch. He’s not your regular kind of rock star, but the kind that “sweats behind the scenes rather than on stage, kicking successful people’s asses so that they become even more successful. I’m a personal productivity coach who gets deep into the minds of people who have everything going for them but are hitting some speedbumps and roadblocks – and I pull no punches until they break past the limiting beliefs that are holding them back.”

So when you know you have what it takes, but just have a hard time connecting the dots, or suspect you have it, but need someone to kick you in the backside to confirm your suspicions, Dave could be the missing link that can take you the extra step of the way.

Rock Your Day – Why You Should Go

Dave Navarro has made an art of being productive. His blog is where he puts that art on display. He writes actionable posts dealing with the big productivity busters like time management, work/life balance, becoming an early-riser and loving it, and how to add hours to your day. His is a blog that is stirring some controversy over which laws do and do not work, so there’s a good chance you’ll find yourself in opposition to some of what he says, but it is also a blog that offers plenty of progress-inspiring action well-suited to conjunction with the laws that you hold as truths.

Summing Up Rock Your Day

Rock Your Day is full of many things, and leading the pack is a spirit of enthusiasm, energy, kicking attitude, and a tinge of humor. Just reading Dave, whether you agree in total or not, is enough to fire you up to want to do more.

It’s Like Exercise For The Cynical

Yoga for CynicsWhere to Find Yoga For Cynics:
Blog URL: http://yogaforcynics.blogspot.com/
Category: Personal Blog, Philosophy

Yoga For Cynics

Categorizing Yoga For Cynics was one of the hardest parts of writing this review (and perhaps I’ve still gotten it wrong). Capturing the essence of what the blog is was a close second place. So what is Yoga For Cynics?

Dr Jay Winston, the author, describes it as this: “possibly having something to do with yoga, cynicism, writing, politics, coffee, things to do while drinking coffee, art, music, the great outdoors, the great indoors, the not-so-great outdoors and indoors, drugs, and/or life in general, or maybe not.”

Yoga For Cynics – Why You Should Go

If you are still unsure the one thing to be sure of is that you are not alone; Yoga for Cynics is something of a “see it to believe it” experience where you have to visit and experience the blog for yourself before you can really figure out what it is.

At first take you might assume this to be a place of negativity and bad attitude; upon further reading you are more likely to see it as a place for thought and contemplation. That doesn’t mean contemplating cynicism, either; it’s more like a way of overcoming cynicism by stretching the mind to see all the possibilities.

Summing Up Yoga For Cynicism

What you get out of Dr. Jay’s blog will rely a lot on what you put into it; if you visit with only seconds to spare you may only scratch the surface of his random, deep thought process. If you go ready for a challenge you will exercise your brain even more, and delve deeper into the heart of the issue and to what it means to you. Yoga requires a bit more of your time and commitment, so choose wisely when you visit, and know that you’ll get something out of it for whatever you are able to put in.

A Tidings Of Magpies

Every once in a while, you come across a blogger whose distraction is her gift; a blogger like Distracted by Shiny Objects, for example. Distracted is the author of today’s featured blog, A Tidings of Magpies.

A Tidings Of Magpies – Why You Should Go

Distracted describes herself as a “Happily married wife and mom of two full- of- beauty girls. Critical Care Nurse for 29 years-or 100 years, depending on the day and who you ask. Just another soul trying to make sense of the kaleidoscope on the other side of my eyeballs.” Her blog is described as a place for her to share her “writings and works in progress, or another writer’s work which has moved my heart. Meant to be a bit of a journal on the days that pass by so quickly.”

In many ways, Magpies is just what blogging was intended to be—a journal of the author’s experiences and thoughts, in whatever form they come to her. There are posts of poetry, short story snippets, reviews of movies and books, commentaries on recent events and the state of the world, accompanied by wit and witticism and entertaining (and sometimes endearing) pictures, too.

Summing Up A Tidings Of Magpies

Tidings’ mission is for each reader to “embrace your grace.” Many of the posts here will help you do that, by painlessly spurring you to thought and appreciation, and reminding you to laugh at the funnier sides of even the serious side of life.
