Chris Says So

One-in-a-Million by Trée George and Sandy Renshaw

For the One-in-a-Million-Category of:

Best integration of cartoons and theme with inspiration and encouragement. In addition to having a top notch theme that sets a perfect tone and a customized cartoon to help tell the story of every post, to qualify for this category a blog must focus in by choosing a particular niche group of people who especially need encouragement and tips on how to better balance life with work. Oh, and it helps to have the word “Success” in the title. Then top it all off by being as helpful as possible to every blogger out there.

The winner is Tony D. Clark, Success From The Nest.

Let’s Start with One-in-a-Million Ways

One-in-a-Million by Trée George and Sandy Renshaw

I suspected that if I made a One-in-a-Million Award that people like me would see the value in shouting out someone’s uniqueness. I also suspected that folks would find their own one-in-a-million ways of telling the world about what people do that’s special — maybe even two people at a time! Here’s the first One-in-a-Million Award(s).

For the One-in-a-Million-Category of:

Enthusiastic and contagious entrepreneur who regularly helps us all be happy at work. This category requires an above average ability to enlist the support of others in your quest, a generous spirit, an amazing sense of humor, and a flair for words. This person must sincerely desire to see others happy in what they do and be willing to sacrifice their time and energy to make it so.

The winner (male): Alexander Kjerulf, Chief Happiness Officer

When I started to write this with Alexander in mind, I realized that there is another person that offers their time freely (and as a coach), helps people reach their professional “happiness” goals, and helps us to realize that job satisfaction comes in lots of shapes and sizes.

She more than qualifies too!

The winner (female): Pamela Slim, Escape from Cubicle Nation

Alexander and Pam help make the working world more enjoyable – on which ever side of a corporation you happen to find yourself!

I Had 5 Minutes Free at 2 in the Morning

About two weeks ago, I got an IM from Tony Hung the Assistant Editor of the new Blog Herald. He asked if I would consider writing a column. I looked in the mirror, to count the lines again. I looked at my husband. I looked at the IM. I wondered at bit at my sanity. I wrote him back and said “Don’t tell me Tuesdays.”

Tony is a doctor in his last year of residency. Still it’s true fast and firmly that he has a solid second calling in persuasive writing. By the time that single IM conversation was over, I had agreed to take on the column — every Thursday. It will be about blogging, people, and real life.

The very first column went up today. Head over, if you’re curious as to what it’s about. Click the screenshot to get you there. The feature’s in the center column.

The Blog Herald

So What About . . .?

Your links will still be in the D-Z List stories at the Blogging Times. They’re so good to me there. I don’t plan leaving them. It’s Tuesdays as usual for all of us D-Z listers.

Drinks and beverages are still in the sidebar here. There’s always an open seat. You’re only a stranger until you leave that first comment. I’m still that saloonkeeper’s daughter, living inside your computer waiting to hear what you think about everything.

Who’s One in a Million?

Have given someone a one-in-a-million award yet? What great way to say a blogger is special. I’ll link to both of you on the front page of Successful-Blog. How cool is that?

Click the poster to the right to find out how to give someone the one-in-a-million award.

I’m the nice one.
