Curating your butt

I was inspired by Marc Hedlund's post to look at what I like and make some suggestions in the blogging world. Or as he suggested, "curating your butt" on to someone's blog I like. I know this is not dissimilar to blogday, but why not share the wealth all year round?


My first suggestion is "Bit of Business" from Brian Landi, who started blogging around the same time as me and provides a mishmosh of topics like myself. 
We've interchanged a bit about topics we talked about online at virtually the same time, which fuels my "crowd conscience" notion (for another post) about how bloggers may be posting about similar topics at the same time. 
Second, Stanford over@pushingsocial. He's actually been willing to engage and has largely (at least according to what I've seen) put his thoughts into action. Learning lots from his output!
Finally, Wayne Howard over at Business and Pleasure. He started near the same time I did, but was well ahead of figuring out what he wanted to do with his blog. His is a good model for what you can do with blogging as a business (I think).
Any suggestions?

Not a lot of people looked or cared about #365DaysofHappyforTodd That's okay. I was doing it for me.  I would like your best "getting through" song though- that would be cool!  Just like this #NewTodd sounds lame right? 

New Life

  It's weird, sad and slightly freeing. I've been headed towards a completely different life for a lot longer than I even knew. It took me a while to catch up to realize it was happening.  Thankfully, I was cognizant enough to see it finally and mostly ready for it. It's amazing when you have the rug completely pulled out from underneath you. The adjustments are jarring.  I made mistakes, but like most I learned from them, adapted, and tried my best to do better. The reason you see that truck next to a storage place? That's the sum of my life right now.  Never take for granted that you will work hard for something or someone, and it will end up meaning very little. You are guaranteed nothing, owed nothing, promised nothing. Anything and everything can be taken away in a heartbeat.  I wrote this to my kids a while back: I tried to be the best father I could be based on what I knew when I knew it and how I could. One of the lessons for your life needs to be: you n...
