It is hard to resist participating in anything that ends in “-alooza” [Bless you! - Ed.], but digging through your archives can be a challenge. I laughed, cringed and shook my head as I reviewed the good, bad and just downright ugly. I selected the list below because each marked a funny, defining or significant point in my life and/or writing. This is not the “best of” list but a few of my favorites from my first full year of blogging.

January: I Coulda Been A Contender reminds us of the necessity of maintaining relevancy to our customers.
February: My Love Affair was my first group-writing project.
March: Fierce Friday deals with our all too common failure to self promote and wave our own banner.
April: Motivation is not a one-time deal but you have to find The Strength to Lace Em Up every day.
May: The impact of having someone say I Believe in You
June: If life is music What Song Are You?
July: When you are faced with roadblocks, Embrace Your Obstacles and keep moving forward.
August: How I discovered that Life is Like a Moon Bounce and lived to tell about it.
September: What you can learn from Climbing the Rough Side of the Mountain.
October: Encouragement for anyone who has ever felt like the big head kid. Come On Big Head Let’s Roll
November: Contemplative post on the falling of the First Snow of the season.
December: A fitting tribute to the beauty and wonder of blogging and a wonderful way to mark the end of a full year of blogging. The Friendship that Ignited a Blog
