El Favorito

Posted in Blogging, GenPink on Jan 18, 2008

The lovely Lisa of 20sb (twentysomething bloggers) notified me that I was nominated for an award for our 1st 20SB Semi Annual Blogging Awards and as a nominee I was to send in 3 of my favorite posts. You’d think this wouldn’t be such a hard thing, but I tell you it really is. I did eventually come up with 3 to send to her but in actuality I have 5 favorite posts. So I decided why not share those with my favorite freaders (friends/readers):

My favorite posts of 2007 (posted in date order):

  • What is GenPink: my first post ever! It’s always fun for me to go back and read this post to see how well I am doing to meet my goals for GenPink
  • 101 one hundred and ones: Since we all love lists and I am forever seeing 101 ways to do this-that-or-the-other I decided one day to make a collection of 101 lists until I came up with 101 different 101 lists. Some of the lists are silly and others are quite interesting.
  • Twenty Something Advice: Don’t plan your life based on what other people expect: This is when the idea came to me have guest bloggers add advice for myself and other twenty somethings. I think this first guest post is very powerful advice.
  • What do you know in your 30s that you didn’t know in your 20s?: I am a huge fan of learning from other people’s experiences and I am always looking for advice from other’s on how to improve my life.
  • Today’s Voices: This post is about my first blogebrity moment when I was mentioned in an article on Yahoo Finance. In this entry I get to react to the idea of being young and still being seen as an authority.

I encourage you to check out those 5 posts and leave me your thoughts in the comments. I also encourage you to go back through your archives and see which posts you are most proud of for 2007. It’s quite interesting to go back and see what all you’ve had to say in the past year.

Congratulations and good luck to everyone who was nominated for an award. Be sure to vote for your favorites! (hint hint wink wink)
