Working Together

When I was first contacted a while back about joining a new network (I’ll tell you about it in a second) that would be launching soon, I was beyond excited. I have always loved to be part of a community. I like feeling like I am a part of something bigger. This is one of the reasons that I have loved being so active with the Twenty Something Bloggers network (we have almost 800 members now!).

The timing of the launch of this new network coincided with my pending blogiversary. The anniversary of when I started GenPink will be in April so I knew I wanted to do something big for the last month of my first year. So which do you want to know about? The new network or my big idea? Oh, you want to know both, you guys are just spoiled aren’t you.

The Network – Brazen Careerist

I could give you the official bio of what Brazen Careerist is about, but I figure you can go read that on BrazenCareerist.com. I actually love the words that Penelope Trunk (remember I wrote about her before) sent out in her email welcoming all of us to the network.

In her email, Penelope said “it’s an enormous treat to be able to launch a site that is actually a group of people working together to make their voices heard in a way that shows collective respect in the face of individual interests.” My response to that is, it’s an enormous treat and honor to be a part of these voices.

It is such an ego booster to be listed with such a great list of contributing bloggers. I will tell you a little secret, I had the hardest time writing my bio. I don’t know why I was having such a block about writing who I am.

I am looking forward to seeing what develops from Brazen Careerist.

My Big Idea – The ABCs of Being a Twenty Something

Ok so some of you loyal readers may be thinking, this isn’t a new idea, you tried this already. My answer to that is, yes I did have this idea a few months back but it never actually got started. And it was still my idea and it’s new and improved.

Starting tomorrow every day will be a post of the ABCs of life in your twenties. In the spirit of being part of something bigger I have enrolled several great bloggers to be part of my project. Some of these bloggers are twenty somethings and others are big name bloggers who have some advice for us. I am very excited for how this project is coming together. And even more excited that I have such a great group of contributing authors/bloggers coming together.

  1. This is a fun post. I love that you linked to the list of bloggers. It’s my favorite page.

    I, too, had a hard time writing my bio for the site. And I write my bio ten times a week. I think that when you start somthing new you sort of think your bio should be new, just a little, too. We see ourselves a little differently with each new thing we try. So maybe it’s good that you and I both had a tough time with our bios :)

  2. Hello! I just found your blog (via Decor8) and *love* it. I wish I knew it existed before. I love your ABCs of being a twenty-something. You are added to my blog reader. Thanks!
