The Best From My Newly Discovered Blogs

As I have mentioned to you before, I'm discovering a whole bunch of great new blogs. Inspiring blogs, such as the Positive Blog Network, that enlighten me, and make me see more clearly where my own passion and added value could be. While surfing these blogs I came accross these really outstanding posts. Posts I hope you will like just as much as I did!

• Do People Really Want Transparency and Authenticity? I bet your first reaction would be, just like mine: of course!! Yet, a really interesting discussion is taking place on CopyBlogger.
• Though I must say I had some reservations, I recently joined MyBlogLog as a means to get to know interesting new blogs. On MyBlogLog's Blog, Andrew Wee wrote an interesting post on Unlocking the Social Inner Circle Code. Being fed up with having to delete hundreds of messages each morning containing no more than 'welcome to/visit my blog at xxx.blog.xxx', he writes some excellent advice: "Breaking into the social circle requires that you provide value to the blogger, or the blogger's community. Value is created, e.g. when 1) You provide a new piece of information, 2) You provide a well-supported opinion to what the blogger said, 3) You provide an application of something the blogger wrote about. You provide all this information freely and without any expectation of receiving anything in return.". In short, the ever so true concept of 'social reciprocity'.
• Monk at Work's Does the World Need your Blog? A beautiful, uplifting post for anyone who is kind of at a loss on his or her blog: "If you’re just adding to the noise, then no, probably not. But if you’re sharing the music inside you, then yes. A resounding, full, and overwhelming yes."
• Last, a post from the inspiring blog Pick the Brain. I bet you all know the feeling now and then of being overwhelmed with all the stuff going on. At work, in your family, in other relationships. Time to sit back, relax and still be able to listen to your own 'inner voice' might become more and more problematic. Read these 7 Powerful Relaxation Techniques to stress out a bit!

I'm glad you enjoyed the post... and it's clear that a blog called "Positive Communication" is adding much more than noise. (good on ya!)

Thanks for the mention!
