Tuesday's Child ~ Maria Tafoya →
An occasional blog and on those occasional occasions, a breath of fresh air on things relating to being a Disciples of Christ minister, being a Christian, and being into social media:).
Maria is a minister and a “techno-geek” from the west coast who shares from a very personal level about things which matter to her. Her thinking is solid and her interactions with others are cordial...
[D]mergent ~ A Host of Folks →
[D]mergent is the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) version of the Emergent Church movement currently building steam in mainline American. Born through the demise of our denominational print magazine a few years ago, this is certainly the voice of some of our church and may be the voice of the future.
Emergent movements tend to stress “back to basics” and simple approaches. ...
Vital Wholeness ~ Rev. Timothy Carson →
Vital Wholeness is a regular treat in searching our souls through events both small and large. Tim Carson just experiences life and then interprets it through the lens of sprituality. He is a Christian minister and that influence shows throughout.
Tim does not always write about religious themes ~ his venue is often just life. Sometimes poetry or art is involved. His thoughts are always...
The Happiness Project ~ Gretchen Rubin →
Don’t we all really need this:)?
The Happiness Project is based on the best selling book of the same name. Gretchen Rubin has done her homework literally in order to bring us some of the most rich and timeless learning about how to be happy.
Best part of her project - subscribe for a daily dose of happiness wisdom.
IMPORTANT: This is NOT the mindless “Don’t worry, be...
Omnivorouscinephile ~ David Ingram →
The subtitle for this blog is: “An eclectic look at movies”.
Thank goodness for that explanation, because I was afraid I would have to pronounce that title:)
David Ingram could pronounce that word and do so sonorously. He has the type of voice that radio announcers and actors lust after - deep, booming, and memorable.
More importantly, David is a thinker and a writer. His reviews...
Journal of Seeing ~ John Dyess →
John Dyess is an artist.
He calls himself a few other things from time to time: illustrator, painter, photographer, and teacher. Don’t let the other titles fool you ~ he’s an artist … and a very good one.
In some ways, this blog is a retrospective of John’s career, as he shares an astounding array of work in a wide variety of mediums from different time periods. I...
Indexed ~ Jessica Nagy →
Take a drawing space that closely resembles a 3 x 5 index card . . .
Add one intelligent and witty individual …
Throw in a few words and some lines …
Mix well … and you have genius delivered to your inbox every day. Jessica’s little card snapshots of great truths and real life are like potato chips … once you start, you do not want to quit … ever.
This...
Journal of Seeing ~ John Dyess →
John Dyess is an artist … oh, sure, on his website, he calls himself an “illustrator, painter, photographer and teacher”, but don’t be fooled. John is an artist.
John uses his blog to teach us … about him, about what he has seen both personal and historic, and about how to create. He has a wealth of work to share with us and it seems to come in a never-ending...
Eclecticity →
“Eclecticity”, in my learning, means the ability to draw from varied sources to create, to share, to solve problems. When I was in counseling, it meant using whatever strategy or approach seemed most appropriate.
You’ve heard the term “Jack of all trades, Master of none”. Well, this blog definitely masters its’ domain.
Just like that famous “box of...
Kansas City Freelance Writer ~ Liz Craig →
Some people, like me, try to do many different things. We are broad-based and know a very little about a very lot of things.
Others, like Liz Craig, know a ton about one “thing” ~ one very broad thing. Effective written communication is one of those essential skills that is in short supply these days, as you can see in the print and electronic media just about anywhere you look.
...
Sources of Insight ~ J.D. Meier →
This is one of the neatest aggregator sites I have found.
Probably because it does not look like or operate like the typical aggregator site. Sources focuses on leadership, emotional intelligence, effectiveness and a few other things. The emphasis is not on just creating a listing of possibly helpful sources, but on creating a list of high quality sources that are presented in a fashion that...
Execupundit ~ Michael Wade →
Fascinating …
Eclectic …
Off-beat …
Humorous …
Engaging …
Down to earth and out to lunch at the same time …
I give up - just check out this guy’s blog and I guarantee you will find something to enjoy, to share, to retweet, and to marvel at.
Michael Wade is an intellectual Five-And-Dime store … and I loved those places:)
Guy Harris ~The Recovering Engineer →
I like Guy Harris for two very compelling reasons:
He is a DiSC person, just like me, only more successful and better known. Guy understands the DiSC profile on that deeper, slightly more complex level where you are not just looking at the four main quadrants of behavior, but on the mix of behaviors that is sort of unique to each person. Very few folks are purely oriented toward one type of...

Box of Crayons ~ The Great Work Blog →
Michael Bungay Stanzier has one of the best blog names around - how can you resist “Box of Crayons”. Even typing it makes me smile.
Michael is a coach, which is like saying Hank Aaron played ball. Michael’s focus on excellence as outline regularly in his Great Work interviews and activities is unlike others, who say the right words and use the right bylines, but do not put...
MIchael Hyatt →
Michael Hyatt leads Thomas Nelson Publishers, the largest Christian publishing house in the world. This is one well-run and successful company in an industry that is undergoing some significant change. To be successful is a compliment to his leadership, vision, and energy.
Michael also write the Intentional Leadership blog, which is a running class on how to be an effective and thoughtful...
Leadership Freak AKA Dan Rockwell →
Dan Rockwell is one the smarter guys in the room. His blog is consistently interesting, timely, and very, very helpful. I’m not surprised he is an award-winning leadership blogger. This is leadership development at the top.
His post today is about one question that will actually change you. One of the things I really enjoy about Dan’s thinking is that he takes simple,...
Kevin Eikenberry →
Kevin Eikenberry knows a lot about leadership development, which he shares in his book Remarkable Leadership. He particularly knows a lot about the transition from being an employee to being a boss, which he has graciously shared as co-author of From Bud to Boss.
Kevin is a sharing kind of guy. He’s authentic and he cares about helping others become remarkable leaders.
