A Blogger Rendez-Vous in Singapore and Preparing for Blogworld

by

I was not going to leave Singapore until I had met my blogger friend and the queen of personal excellence herself, Celestine Chua but between us, I was simply delighted that successful and busy as she is, she generously made time to meet with me – the little blogger from North America! – for lunch!

Celes is the founder, writer and living example of The Personal Excellence Blog, a space so rich with content, ideas, and creative approaches to personal development that you have only to glance at a few articles before [Read more…] about A Blogger Rendez-Vous in Singapore and Preparing for Blogworld

A Blogger’s Dilemma: To Post or Not to Post from Vacation?

by

Bali Sights and Changes to RoutineIronic as it may sound, after the post on micro vacations, I report live from quite the opposite – the heart of an extended vacation. Sitting here in beautiful Bali after week long visits to Toronto and Singapore, I find it nearly impossible to focus on writing this next blog post. Before embarking on this journey, I committed to writing my regular twice weekly posts from vacation. The city vibes from Toronto’s TIFF10 and Singapore’s buzzing energy and activities with friends made it easy and natural to keep the schedule for the first 12 days. Even the exhaustion from hours of walking and little sleep did not meddle with the writing schedule. [Read more…] about A Blogger’s Dilemma: To Post or Not to Post from Vacation?

My Top 10 Pillars of Blogging Excellence: Part 1

by

Content is king (or queen if you will permit me the variation), no questions asked. The personal (in your eyes) and perceived (in the eyes of others) success in the blogging world belongs with those who can clearly articulate their thoughts, connect with the heart and mind of their readers and consistently write authentic content even on non-original commonplace topics. It is your writing voice that carries you through and through!

With that slap of truth out of the way, I admit I have been itching to write about blogging beyond the writing. I want to write this post my best discoveries in this world of changing and evolving technologies. I want to share only the top tools, platforms and applications which I use to create and maintain Prolific Living. I call them my indispensable pillars of blogging excellence and I must share the genius of these pillars with you. [Read more…] about My Top 10 Pillars of Blogging Excellence: Part 1

On Supporting Your Community, Giving and Guest Posting

Florence, Italy, May 2008 – Looking down at Arno river from Ponte Vecchio (Old Bridge), I was mesmerized by this simple sight: A young crew of Italian children hard at work, learning the concept of team work. If even one of them stops rowing, the shared momentum is lost and the camaraderie comes into question. What a simple drill to teach a grand lesson and what lucky children to learn this lesson so early on. Here’s hoping they will remember this when they need it most in life!

A Blog Award and Why Blogging Community Rocks

by

The last time I was looking to switch jobs within my company, I focused on one factor: the people. Not the project or the organization or even the position so much as the people. I passionately believe that if I were in the company of people that I could trust and appreciate, I would perform at my absolute best. People, I decided, make all the difference in one’s happiness and productivity at the workplace. And I was lucky enough to find a team made up of the best people.

My principle applies yet again when it comes to the blogging community. [Read more…] about A Blog Award and Why Blogging Community Rocks
