List of Personal Development Bloggers
August 22nd, 2007 by Richard CockrumIf you go to technorati you will see that there are 2,160 blogs that have tagged themselves as personal development blogs. There are 191,729 posts that have been tagged as pertaining to personal development. That is a lot of blogs, and a lot of writing. Assuming a post averages 500 words, that is over 95,000,000 words written on the subject - most of which each one of us individually will never know about.
So Priscilla Palmer decided to make a master list of the personal development bloggers that aren’t self identified as personal development. These are the blogs that you and I read to aid and encourage us in our growth. Priscilla listed five blogs, one of which was Today is that Day by Aaron Potts. Aaron also listed five blogs. Bless his heart, Shards was one of the five.
Priscilla’s List
- Aaron Potts at Today is That Day
- David Rogers at How to Have Great Self Confidence
- Henrik Edberg at The Positivity Blog
- Karen Lynch at Live The Power
- Lyman Reed at Creating a Better Life
Aaron’s List
- Christine Kane at ChristineKane.com
- Edward Mills at Evolving Times
- Rick Cockrum at Shards of Consciousness
- Steve Olson at Steve-Olson.com
- John Place at John Place Online
It’s interesting how many times five is used in lists. In many ways five is the number of the world. We have five senses. There are five elements (fire, earth, air, water, spirit - or akasha in India). Spread out, the human body is the shape of a pentagram.. Astrologically, Mars, the symbol of power and passion, is the fifth planet. Five is enough to give some variety, but also a small enought number to make you think hard. Difficult though it is, here are five more for the list.
My List
- Nneka at the Balanced Life Center
- Liz Strauss at Successful Blog
- John Wesley at Pick the Brain
- Dave Schoof at Engaging the Disquiet
- Life Reflection at Universe in a Single Atom
Lyman, could you think about adding the master list as a page at the Personal Development Carnival?

Rick… that is a great idea, adding the list to the personal development carnival site! I’ll get with Priscilla and coordinate it. Thanks!

I’m glad you like the idea, Lyman. It made sense to me.

Thank you for the additions, and I love the idea of the list being added to the carnival.

Hi Priscilla,
The list was an excellent idea. I’m glad the thought of putting it on the carnival site appeals to you. It should make a great resource.

Hi Rick, thanks for adding my name to the list. I feel like I’m in great company.
August 22nd, 2007 at 10:01 pm
You are, Nneka. Not least, because you’re in it.

Hi Rick. I’m surprised out paths haven’t crossed before this. Great site. Seems we both tagged John! And most-deservedly so. I’ll be poking around here more now that I’ve found you.

Hi Edward,
It’s good to see you here. Enjoy your poking. I hope it’s fruitful for you.
I’ve actually been a subscriber to Evolving Times for a few weeks, but I don’t say much. John certainly deserves the tags, as do you.

Thank you, Rick, for thinking of me. I hardly realized that I had anything to do with personal development until a month or two ago. Now I feel like I’m sitting in some stellar company. Wow!
Thank you, really.

Hi Rick,
Thanks for adding me.
You have always been so supportive, thank you!

Good morning, Liz. You’re part of what makes the company stellar.
Just keep on doing what you’re doing. You really are changing the world, one person at a time.

Hi Life,
I look forward to reading your posts. I’m glad you started blogging.

[…] Cockrum of Shards of Consciousness suggested that the list be posted here at the Personal Development Carnival home page, and Priscilla…. I thought it would be a great idea as well, since the carnival is shared among and has been hosted […]
