As some of you might know, I have been a blogger for over 10 years now (wow! Time flies!). Back then, I just had a LiveJournal and a dream… Blogging has been a great tool for me to express my thoughts, opinions, and knowledge. I’ve not only been dishing out content for over 10 years, but I’ve also been digesting the content of other great bloggers out there.

The blogs I read regularly shift with what’s going on in my life and what I’m most interested in learning about. I wanted to take a moment to share with you Five Fabulous Bloggers I currently love and regularly read. Enjoy and tell them I sent you!

Nailah Blades – Polka Dot Coaching – Nailah and I found each other a few months ago on Twitter. I started reading her blog and I love it! Nailah lives here in L.A., just like me, and is a Quarter Life Coach. She helps women connect the dots of their 20-something lives. Doesn’t that sound awesome? Goodness knows in years past I could have used A LOT of her help. I still need some nuggets of wisdom these days, so I always check out her site when I’m getting my blog fix. You can check out her groovy site here: http://www.polkadotcoaching.com/blog/

Lizzy Shaw – Lizzy Shaw Public Relations – Lizzy is an awesome publicist that I met almost two years ago, when she joined my networking group. She’s got a great blog going that every small business owners who wants their business to be seen needs to read. Not only does she share tips on PR, but she’s got a lot of great business advice, generally speaking, that any savvy small biz owner needs to know. http://www.lizzyshawpr.com/blog

Lifehacker – Those who know me know that I love getting stuff done. Though this isn’t an individual blogger, I do have to share Lifehacker with you (if you don’t know about them already!). Lifehacker is a great site – there’s a consistent stream of great new content centered on getting things done. Most of it is tech focused (and incredibly useful). Everything from great browser plugins for Firefox and Chrome to things like the Hipster PDA (which was the first post I saw on their site, back in 2005) and other DIY tricks. Hey they’ve even got recipes!  If you haven’t checked out Lifehacker before, do it today! www.lifehacker.com

Behance – I love their team blog! Also focused on getting things done, Behance sways more toward creative professionals, but there is good information that any professional can draw from their site. I don’t check in on a daily basis, but when I do check in every couple of weeks, I’ve got amazing content lined up that keeps me busy for hours. http://www.behance.com/Team_Blog

Life By Me – perhaps I am a little biased because I spent some time working for them, but I love Life by Me! The site launched a few months ago and there’s already enough content to keep you glued to your seat. Life by Me is all about meaning and meaningful conversations. The team there has pulled together contributions from AMAZING people. Yes, many are famous, like Seth Godin, Jack Canfield, Desmond Tutu, and Deepak Chopra, but what I love is that they pull in amazing people that you might not otherwise know of (at least not yet) like Frank Gjata, Jane Grossman, and Darrell Gurney. Check out the site and tell them I sent ya! www.lifebyme.com

I hope you take some time to check out some of these awesome blogs. Hopefully they’ll get you inspired and motivated!
