(There are a couple of typos I noticed: QuestForBalance is misspelled and ‘know’ is missing a ‘k’ in my section. Just helping you out!)

I’ve been blogging since December 2005 (almost a grandad in blogging terms) but was a bit comment-shy until recently when I decided I was going to create a legacy along with so many other wonderful bloggers.

Speaking of which I will soon be coming up to my 500th post close to the time of birthday in March and would love it if all of you could celebrate it with me and do something special to mark the occasion.

I feel this is going to be a fantastic year for a lot of us and I know you’ll be in on it.

Hi Steven.

I like how you picked some key posts from everyone here, and the descriptions let us know some relevant points about each person. I’m glad to be a part of this set, and 2010 certainly is a year for the grasping. I’m not sure if it worked subconsciously, but hours after I read this article, along with your words about my past videos, I ended up recording a 3rd video for my site. That will probably go up within a week.

Hey Steven, What a wonderful way to start off my new year :-D .
I always love to read personal development blogs. They help me see things from new perspective and grow. This list will definitely be referred to when I want to get inspired. ( Will stumble, tweet, and delicious it :-) .)
I am so very grateful for you adding my blog to the list. I told my friends and parents about it too.
Even though I write about various things, my biggest “passion topic” is personal development and it’s amazing how you were able to perceive so much about me just by browsing through my blog.
About the girlie thing (LOL): There’s actually many reasons why I decorate my web pages in that girlie fashion. Even though I’m only 32 and have gone through a lot of very bad experiences. Going through those awful things has made me see that being an optimist is the only way to be happy in this world. I know harsh reality. I’ve seen it. I purposely choose to focus on beautiful and good things. Because if I don’t, I’ll be wasting my life in misery. The “girlie” images are a true reflection of this inward decision of mine. Even though they are unconventional for a blog I choose to give a tone of peace to my readers. I want people to feel that joy when they come to my blog. I want my own soul to feel that. It’s wonderful that you were able to see past the girlie first impression. Many won’t and that’s ok. I guess I’m making a statement that it’s alright to be out of the box – LOL.
Thank you so much for writing this beautiful list and for including me in it. Warms my heart ♥.
Your friend,

I have adopted the same kind of philosophy as Ben Franklin who made it a point to practice at least one virtue every week.

It is said of Franklin that he never put them all together, but it was great if you caught him practicing the particular virtue on a week that favored what you needed.

So, you have given me enough self improvement fodder to last the whole year.

You couldn’t have given me a better gift.

Heaps of great new blogs to check out and a lot of old favourites too. I often wonder if Brits don’t read as much personal development as North Americans, it it’s just not so much a part of the British psyche…. My blog attracts way more North Americans than any other nationality even though when I started it I assumed it would appeal mainly to Brits since I’m from the UK with a few Aussies as I live in Australia. Lots to learn in blogging isn’t there?! Anyway, thanks for including the list!

Hi Annabel,
April from http://www.goodoodles.com over here in Spain with similar demographics on my blog stats. My kids are in an international school here in Madrid and I have the pleasure of lots of British mommy friends. I have to agree with you, these ladies are DEFINITELY not into blogging, especially with anything personal. One lovely lady asked me the other day “What is it with you Americans? We would never share our thoughts, ideas, feelings on a blog! We’d call up a friend and chat over a cup of tea!” I’m all for that, but to spread good thoughts and ideas, wouldn’t that make for slow going?

Hi Annabel, I agree with you, 80% of my traffic comes from the US, personal development has still to catch up in the UK but we’re helping it along :) Thanks for your comments.

Ack! So many of my very favorite people on this list!!

Lisis, Lori, Dani, Ian, David, Lance, Tess, and Sherri. Amazing people with amazing blogs. I think what I love most about their work is how authentic they are. And they don’t just write the same old personal development posts!

Great list! Thank you, Tess, for pointing me over here.

Hi Hayden, you’re following a great bunch of bloggers there. I think it’s important to be authentic in a day and age where everything you say and do is captured somewhere so there’s no use being anybody else but yourself.

Hey Steven!
Wow, this is crazy. Are you sure you’re reading my posts? (Ha, did I get you?) You know, it’s kind of funny, I actually haven’t thought of myself as a personal development blogger, but it has a nice ring to it. ;)

I’m incredibly honored to be included in this list. I feel like I’ve been standing on the shoulders of greats, and they’re all here. *BLUSH!*

I’ve found some new gems here, too. I can’t wait to rush to their blogs and read their wit and wisdom.

Hi Stephen,
Wow! I am new to this blogging thing and really appreciated your insightful list which shortened the path to some fantastic blogs! I started a blog last month…www.goodoodles.com because its part of my journey and my need to create some positive, good content which I hope will make a difference to somebody(ies). I don’t know who decided for us all that newspapers, television, movies should be filled with the worst news and most violent images. Frankly, I don’t think they inspire goodness or send us in a more positive direction. I know that we are getting images of very disturbed waters, but what about all the moments those waters are calm, beautiful, at peace? Shouldn’t we rejoice in those and let them motivate us in a positive way! Goodoodles is my effort at getting the good out there. Thanks for sharing yours and all these sites that inspire! And any feedback or comments on goodoodles…always welcome! Happy Tuesday! April
