What Starbucker learned in 2008 (through blogging)

January - “It can’t be done, it can’t be done……it’s done”: In Praise of Sir Edmund Hillary Keep dreaming the impossible dream.

February - Clearing the Last Hurdle to Happiness (and it’s a Doozy) Acceptance. Of who you are. And where you’re going.

March - Hey, I’m a Blogger Too – Where’s My Book Deal? Sometimes putting your tongue in your cheek is a good way to hide your envy.

April - E-mail and The Decline of Western Civilization: An Open Letter In praise of the hand-written word.

May - “We’ve Got the Dreamers Disease”: Reflections on SOBCon08 An experience of a lifetime (you should take advantage of too).

June - The Value of Work (Thanks Dad) I’ve learned so much from him.

July - Every Passion Has Its Destiny – An Olympic Inspiration I love the story of Billy Mills and his so improbable Gold Medal.

August - The Real Secret of Life I found it. Now I just have to remember it every moment of every day.

September - How To Cope With Just About Anything Be mindful, be present.  Pretty darn good advice.

October - The Real Secret of Life – Amended I had to add one more thing to this secret.

November - A View of Social Media From the Inside: The Cat Hasn’t Meowed Just Yet Don’t dive into a deep pool when you can’t swim – yet.

December - Blog Years Are Like Dog Years Never forget those who help and inspire you.

    It’s so true, Terry. There’s nothing in this world we can’t get it done, as long as you have the passion and determination to do it!

    The Real Secret of Life was my favorite.

    It’s a great set of insights with a healthy dose of perspective.
