GenPink

Happy Holidays! At the end of the year I like to look back at all that I’ve accomplished, all that has changed and all that is yet to come. This has been a great year for me personally, professionally & developmentally. If I had to sum up this year for me in one word it would be - learning. There have been various events (both good & bad) that have resulted in a great deal of lessons I will carry into the next stage of my life.

Here are some of my favorite posts of 2008. I have some BIG plans for 2009, I’ll reveal those very soon!

• Saying "No" - Men vs. Women: Are we still in the 1950s? Does a man’s "NO" mean more than a woman’s?
• Disconnected in a Connected World: Are you guilty of texterbating?
• I think I am, I think I am: Are you still living your life off the lessons you learned in nursery rhymes? You should be!
• ABCs of Gen Y/Life in your twenties: This was a month long series, that I LOVED! Everything from activism, dating, career to being naked. Check out each post - there were some great guest bloggers in this series.
• Is Gen Y really Lost?: A great video - watch it!
• Is is possible to be in love with more than one person?
• Who is Happier?: who is happier - men or women and single or married people?
• This is why I’m hot: You are your own walking advertisement. At any given time you are advertising something about yourself. So here’s my advice … be an advertisement for "why you’re hot".
• Think Pink: Hey did you know there are psychological benefits of the color pink? Also love this quote I believe in pink
• Things to do before your 30th: Making a list of things I want to do before my 30th! I’d love for you to make your own list.
• Success is a State of Mind: Is a person who runs a marathon more successful than the person who runs the half?
• Managing To-Dos 3 Tiered: How I manage my Gen Y busy lifestyle & a multitude of to-dos. How do you manage yours?
• Gen Y Generalized: The not-so-general-generalizations of 10 Gen Y Women and what they do & do not have in common.
• Age of Awareness - Obama & Gen Y: Do you think Obama’s use of technology and the internet will bridge a communication gap between generations?
• Internet Schizophrenia: The great debate of personal vs professional use of Facebook, and should you have multiple accounts.
• Gen Y: Waking Up Unemployed?: With the number of layoffs rapidly rising, what should you do if you find yourself unemployed?

And if you still can’t get enough, there have been a great deal of twenty something advice series posts & here’s my favorites from 2007 GenPink 1.0.

Time has been a commodity this year and I’ve met so many great bloggers & internet celebrities. So I have one favor to ask of you - and that would be for you to develop your own Best of 2008 & link to it here. I’d love to know what I may have missed throughout the year, without having to go back through your archives. And instead of just blankly throwing this request out there, I am specifically asking for this request from (in no particular order). In case you’re wondering, you’re either on this list because you’ve been in my feed for a while and I’m afraid I missed something or I just discovered you sometime in 2008.

Tiffany, Rebecca, Zandria, Chuck, The Ryans, Derek, Monica, Greg, Dan, Ramit, Ari, David, Janet, Tina, Olivia, Andrea, Rachel, Kerri, Molly, Allison, Shanti, any and all Brazen Careerists I may have missed as well as 20sb, and of course anyone else who wants to - I especially want Gen Y bloggers!

A very Merry to you! I hope that whatever you are doing as 2008 comes to a close, you are experiencing joy.
