This edition covers an incredible variety of information! We’ve got getting rid of social norms, finding a job, creating success, overcoming obstacles, humor, sex, making babies, and more – Enjoy!
Featured Posts:
You don’t meet the theme of “doing it differently” much more than the post The Joy and Power of Discovering True Selves over at Systems Thinker. Big applause for encouraging people to stand up and be who they truly are, not who society wants them to be!
The post Integrity Through Self-Reliance is another great piece over at Tupelo Kenyon which points out the fact that individuals always have a choice – even if that choice is different than society’s “norms”.
Peter at I Will Change Your Life brings us an excellent post with 3 Not So Common Career Tips. Each of them makes a ridiculous amount of sense when you think about it.
Other Awesome Content:
1) At Follow Your Path, the post The Light at the End of the Tunnel brings us the message that overcoming life’s obstacles can be handled in many different ways, and not all of them involve logic, reason, or hard work.
2) Men have been trying to learn how to stay in a woman’s good graces for years, but the post 8 Ways To Show Your Husband You Love Him at A Miracle a Day turns it around to point out that men want some lovin’, too!
3) At Manifesting Success, the post 7 Highly Effective Habits for Stress Releasing has some great tips for stress release, including one very “doing it differently” style method for first thing in the morning.
4) Progress worth crying over? According to the post Accelerating the Law of Attraction (Appreciation Sob) at Stephen Martile’s site, getting in a good cry can help you realize just how good you’ve got it!
5) If you’re having trouble landing that dream job, be sure to check out Guerilla Warfare for Job Hunters over at ask the Career Counselor. Lots of out of the box tips on a successful job hunt.
6) There are thousands (millions?) of people looking for success in the blogging industry, and the post Using the Rule of 5 for Blogging Success over at The Rule of 5 takes a proven success formula and adapts it to the blogging world.
7) Ready for a new and potentially very effective technique for getting what you want out of life? Be sure to check out Crystalline Consciousness Technique™ and try it for FREE over at Energies of Creation.
8) Are you dragging yourself down with your negative labels? Check out Dr. Martin W. Russell’s post Name Calling for a short but insightful lesson.
9) At Ask the Advisor, take a hilarious look at what happens when you combine today’s common credit card practices with today’s equally common Web 2.0 practices in the post 10 Dream Credit Cards.
10) At Mastery of Meditation, Enlightenment & Kundalini Yoga, the post How to Make a Baby the Right Way- With Illustrations! is both entertaining, informative, and yes, there are illustrations!
11) More on sex, this time from Universe of Success with the post Sexercise. This post doesn’t talk about making babies, but it does discuss using sex as a method of attaining many positive results!
12) Is your brain filling in the blanks for you? Over at Buy Outside the Box, the post In the Garden of Good and Evil is missing some letters. Literally!
13) In another post about watching our mouth in order to crank up our progress, check out Edith Yeung’s post Disempowering Phrases Successful People Never Say.
14) In the post True Measure of Understanding: Ignorance Generates Negativity, at Marc and Angel, the idea is put forth that looking for the strong points in life is more than just positive thinking, it is a learning experience as well.
15) Over at Nerd Guru, the post Breaking the ice at a meeting with LinkedIn discusses putting all of that technology to good use – find out about someone before you actually meet them face to face!

Career Counselor,
I appreciate your positive feedback on the mix of posts. It does take some time to sort it all out, but I’m one of those “if you are going to do something, do it right” kind of people! 🙂
Thanks again!
Stephen,
Glad to include you in the list! Thanks for continuing to spread the word about the power of Gratitude!
Hey Aaron,
Speaking of carnivals – Jenny and I are also working to help build the personal development community. You, and anyone else interested, are invited to enter our contest. Check it out at Win a $25 Gift Certificate.
Hey, Erin!
Thanks for the invitation, and I’d be happy to participate. 🙂
I will be back to my normal posting schedule next week, and your idea makes the 3rd one that I’ve been tagged for in as many days, so I’ll get something written up ASAP, and definitely by the deadline.
Looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!
