Shout Out: Liz Strauss at Successful Blog
Liz at Successful Blog exemplifies what good blogging means to me. Her personality shines through her words and you feel sincerity through her voice (and what a wonderful voice she has). She always inspires me and makes me think along with her ‘I’ve Been Thinking‘ posts.
But to me, her greatest strength, and something I’m working on myself, is her ability to build friendships.

I agree that a key to self management is self esteem. I would offer that true life inspiration happens when you find something you love to do and make it a part of your everyday experience. Here’s an exercise:
1. Write down 10 things you love to do or that bring you the most joy. I call this the “You List”
2. Then record how many times a day you do one of the things on your list
3. Give each day of the week a rating from 1-10
4. Your best day usually comes out to be the day you do the most things on your “You List”
I can easily relate to the first part of the story, in the past I was one of those people pretending you have done something and then be very uncomfortable when someone asks more detailed questions.
It is not a good feeling and being upfront from the beginning really saves you the embarassment later.
