The Specials this Week are

Business and Blogging thinks it’s time to understand how authenticity makes relationships.
Authenticity and connection is a cornerstone of successful blogging. Blogs are an opportunity for consumers to get insight into the behind the scenes working of corporations and small businesses – not be further distanced, distracted or duped.

Question: When is a Fake Blog Not a Fake Blog?


Dumb Little Man thinks it’s time for commitment to our goals.
There is a way to reach your goals faster and easier than your current method. In fact it’s so powerful and surefire that many people avoid it. Why? Because it forces you to do the work that will make your dreams come true.

The Secret to Huge Breakthroughs on Your Goals


Craigh Harper thinks it’s time to be pleased with who we are.
I understand how important it is for you to be liked, loved and accepted but the irony is that in trying to be everything for everybody, you seem to be losing you.

The People Pleaser


PsychCentral thinks its time to know what we’re disclosing.
When you share and disclose aspects of your personal health with the world, it is something very different than when you share and disclose your favorite books or hobbies or musical groups

Think Social Networks, Blogs CanÒ€ℒt Hurt You?


Blogging Sueblimely thinks it’s time we knew about our searching options.
Google Search does has a lot going for it. It is the most popular, many people are happier staying with something they are familiar with and it integrates with so many other highly used services, mostly its own.

Alternative Search Engines to Google

    Thanks for linking to our post on fake blogs. Hopefully, the message will get across.

    This is a great list of links. I know I’ll enjoy each piece.

    I was actually thinking along the lines of how much is too much to reveal online today, so I’m particularly interested in the PsychCentral post.

    Thanks for sharing!

    For the first time in a looong time, the article with the most impact on me isn’t the first article, rather the third so I can resolve that I’m not crazy!

    I don’t typically worry about what I say online in relation to my *health care coverage* and can’t imagine my kid’s MySpace being a reason for being declined for coverage!

    Hi Laura!
    I really value the post you did on fake blogs. The topic is both timely and your take so refreshing. Being a fan of a fake blog or two myself . . . you hit the mark on every reason I like them.

    Hi Lani!
    Actually that was the first blog post, I chose to put in this week’s cafe. So it was first in one way. πŸ™‚

    It’s an important topic and one that usually isn’t discussed from strictly legal and ethical points of view.

    Knowing what we say on the Internet lasts and is findable is an important aspect of “safe blogging.”

Having a hard time finding focus?

Having a hard time finding focus?

It can be hard to find focus sometimes. A few months ago, I was talking with a colleague who was having a hard time finding focus in their work. They spoke of feeling pulled in multiple directions and of many obligations — both at work and with their family. As I listened, I could hear […]

Sometimes We Outgrow Our Stories

Sometimes We Outgrow Our Stories

The other day I was having a conversation with a friend. We were sharing stories from days gone by about each of our lives. We hopped from one story to the next — based on what each of us were sharing. It was really an incredible discussion as we were each learning from the other […]

It’s Not Your Passion, But Your Purpose

It’s Not Your Passion, But Your Purpose

Everyone feels lost sometimes. I don’t think I know anyone who hasn’t been lost in their head at one time or another β€” even those folks overachieving all over the Internet. We all find those moments that we wonder about who we are and what we want. But the question is not whether everyone gets […]

Getting Past Fear

Getting Past Fear

I felt the more embarrassing fear of people’s judgment. When I decided it was time to write again, I avoided the computer for the longest time. On the rare occasion that I managed to sit myself down to write, I’d get caught up answering email or reading articles around the web, not doing writing I […]
