Annual CYT Top 50 Personal Development Blog Awards 2012
It’s that time of year again where you can nominate your favourite personal development blog of 2012. Last years event attracted 208 nominations – you can see last years nominees here, and over 600 people voted for their favourite personal development blog. With the winner being Ken Wert from Meant to Be Happy Personal development means different things to different people so any blog that has enhanced your life in any way can be nominated.How it will work
If you wish to nominate a blog leave a comment below and please follow these rules: To make the list of nominees a blog has to be voted for at least 3 times Each person can vote for ONLY ONE blog Include the web address for your nomination Write a few lines as to why you have voted for your favourite You can nominate yourself but remember another two people have to vote for you in order for you to make it to the nominations board below.How the top 50 will be calculated
This is the tricky part and it is really difficult to do something like this without bringing in an element of subjectivity. So here’s the fairest way I can think of to calculate the top 50 in a measured way without too much subjectivity. Each factor will be weighted with a % as follows: Number of nominations – 15% Number of posts per week over last 2 months – 15% Average number of comments over last 2 months – 15% Social Media influence using Klout – 15% Quality of posts – 40%If your name appears on the table below you can use these badges:

What the winners will receive
Besides the kudos, and the traffic, each top 50 blogger will be able to display this badge on their site:
The nominations table
I will add each nomination, providing they meet the criteria set above. If your blog appears in this table you can use the badges saying you have been nominated. Nominations will close on Monday December the 10th

His calm, “Zen” spirit makes him unique, one of those rare, remarkable people who manage to acheive so much without being aggressive or pushy – a really inspiring person who leads by example. His book “Get the life you love” http://www.getthelifeyoulove.com/ and Make It Happen blog really helped me quickly turn things around. Good luck to Arvind!

I vote and nominate Boni Lonnsburry with http://www.livealifeyoulove.com
For myself this isn’t a vote, the work Boni has put into her blog is apparent and it shows with all of the people she has helped. I was a injured veteran living at home with nothing to show for myself, with Boni and the concept of conscious creation my life had changed drastically. I now live in a house and attend a private college and am in the best shape of my life losing 110lbs. I mention http://wwww.livealifeyoulove.com in a lot of conversations because people want to know how I made the drastic change.
Thank you so much Boni
Thanks Michael
15 votes for Boni
I nominate Sarupa Shah, http://www.sarupashah.com/
She combines extraordinary sensitivity with vigorous, accurate insight into people’s issues. Unlike so many of her peers, Sarupa makes credible sense of the spiritual side of personal development and so opens it up, invitingly, to people who otherwise may not have benefited from it. She then shows you how to harness that into the realities of both personal and business life.
A tall order, which Sarupa fulfills with expertise.

Not to mention being a mother of two and a person of color challenging the social stereotypes of women within our ethnic community using a medium that is still considered in our community, a taboo – to express herself and raise women’s self-worth! Hands down, my favorite blog!

I would like to nominate Mr. David Singer http://www.sixsimplerules.com His blog continually gives me reasons to reflect upon my life.

3rd vote for David which puts him on the nominations board.
I have known Craig Morton as a friend, colleague and yoga instructor for going on five years, since before he became a life coach and the founder of his website, Ignite Change. When going through a major transitional period in my life earlier this year I turned to his site to find out if working with him as a life coach was something for me. I was instantly drawn in with his casual, informal writing style; simple yet comprehensive organization, design and format; topics which were approachable, thought-provoking, action-oriented and completely relevant for what I was going through. After several successful sessions working with Craig in person, and living in different countries now, I still check in with his site often as what he now writes about not only still resonates with my moving on and adjusting to a new country, job, etc., but also parallels his own journey moving forward. By putting his experiences out there, being fully open with every part of the process of change and how he is dealing with it, and by giving me and others who have and continue to work with him a source for inspiration, admittance of setbacks, reminders of hope, encouragement to carry on, all with simple, honest, thoughtful wording, seeing his updates is like a friendly reminder that you are not alone in your journey of change. I can’t say enough about the timing of his posts–truly inspirational and meaningful topics. Thanks for the opportunity to nominate Craig’s site!
Thanks Lynn

I’m voting for David Singer’s “Six Simple Rules” blog! The blog is a great extension of his book, “Six Simple Rules for a Better Life.” His personal anecdotes and weekly reflections are valuable modes of encouraging his readers to take positive steps in their own lives, and to take a patient approach, and to stop and appreciate the progress they have already made.

By blogging about her life and experience she helps others to rediscover their self-love and encourages them to keep on fighting and loving.
“Many small people, who in many small places, do many small things, can alter the face of the world.”
That’s what she does- altering the life of many people for the better

Hi,
I’d like to nominate Anne-Sophie Reinhardt’s blog http://amindmedia.com. She is genuinely gifted to motivate and empower her readers to become a better version of themselves. Having interviewed Anne-Sophie, I personally had the chance to discover in her a sensitive soul yet a strong woman who won her fight with anorexia and embarked on a passionate journey that makes a difference in other people’s lives.
Thanks Anne

I would love to nominate Sarupa Shah from http://www.thesoulagentblog.com/. I asked her to write for my magazine, 72M, because I wanted a different approach to managing money.

I would like to nominate Craig Morton for the Top 50 Personal Development Blogs of 2012. Craig is such an inspiration. He pumps waves of optimism and confidence into his readers in the form of advice and practices what he preaches. His blog is as equally as amazing as himself.

I am pleased to nominate Life Advice the Coaching Way http://www.lifeadvicethecoachingway.blogspot.com authored by one of my favorite coaches, Angela Goodeve. Angela’s blog is the one place I can go where I am guaranteed to feel lighter by picking up on her contagious enthusiasm and positive outlook. Even when the subject matter includes challenging stuff, she shines a light for herself and the rest of us. Her recent post about “Moment in Time… At Your Best” showed her coming from such an authentic place that I knew she had experienced this instead of, for example, just repeating it from a book. Her “Chocolate” post illustrated one aspect of the profound topic of “Acceptance” in a way that was fun and accessible, and her plan to cover other aspects is a valuable and savvy approach. Thank you!
Thanks Diane

i vote for arvind devalia–ArvindDevalia.com/blog. arvind has changed the lives of many people i know, including my own, for the better. in fact, whether he is coaching a person or not, he changes their life for the better, simply by being the person he is. his clear no-nonsense and upbeat approach is inspiring and easy to apply, and he is able to break down into little day-to-day steps ways to change your thinking/approach to whatever it is you are trying to achieve/desire that in a remarkably short time can lead you to that place and space.
he is as well one of the purest hearts i have ever come across: generous, kind, warm, and compassionate, beloved by all who know him–from children to the elderly and all in between.
thank you.

I would like to nominate Jeff Friend for the CYT Top 50 Personal Blog Awards 2012. Jeff gave an interesting point that immediately grabbed my attention. He stated “You are the product of the five people you spend the most time with.” I never looked at myself and thought about that until now. I did not realize how much people have influenced me and how much I have influenced others.
