    I have heard of Harleena, but not the others. I have some good reading on my hands. It is always nice to read about concepts unfamiliar to me, and see what I can learn from them.

      Nick,

      You already live up to the “standards” because you blog not only with the knowledge that you have, but with your heart.

      You have been such an inspiration to me with your kind nature and loving heart.

      Yes I do know many more awesome people in this niche, but I only wanted to place 5 at a time. More will come……

I’ve known and loved Marquita, Sylvia, and Nick for a while now, but I had not known about Harleena. I look forward to getting to know her and her blog better.

      Personal Development comes in many forms. Not everyone responds to one certain type. This is way I gave a few of my connections out on this post.

      My goal is to see people grow. I know there are many modalities of how to do it. If only one person gets inspired from this post, I’ve done my job!

      I have learned this method a long time ago Barbara.

      This has been the backbone of my off line business. When I had my Psychic Shop Mind over Matter, there were always too many people for me to handle, so I set up a referral system of people in the local area for them to see if they were visiting for the day.

      These people were shocked because their mindset was that I was giving up business. But what happened was I earned their trust and respect for being a person looking out for their good.

      Hey this is what business is all about.

    One of the best parts of the internet is being able to connect with people I otherwise would never have met. I enjoy reading the blogs of four of the people you have listed here. And the other, I just haven’t read yet, but now I can.

    The fact that you are recommending them puts them right at the top of the list of people to pay attention to. Thank you for creating this list, and for sharing some cool stuff and good people around the internet.

    Hi Donna

    What a great idea for a post. Given my world has been about Personal Development for so long it is good to be introduced to a couple of blogs I have not visited before.

    It is interesting that the 5 blogs have different themes. There are so many different aspects to personal development. I love it!

    Thanks Donna.

      These are but a few great bloggers in this niche that I work closely with. There are so much more, but I didn’t want to make it an overkill blog post.

      When one is writing about personal development, I think it is important to offer readers several different modalities to resonate with. These kind folks above are helpers in many different ways than I.

      I sincerely believe that when we are in this niche, we do have the responsibility to SHARE with others so our readers can be the best they can be.

      Thanks for stopping by,

      My main mission is to see people grow. This is why I mentioned others,because there are so many ways to grow and each person I mentioned has different ways to show them how.

    I’ve read wonderful post here from Marquita but couldn’t stop by on her blog though I’ve added hers to Pocket Donna 😉

    Couldn’t be on regular blogs as I’ve been offline but will check out others including hers after my regular ones dear 🙂

    I guess I just love sharing my experiences and exchanging views of other people over at my blog, which could be related to various niches, just as you mentioned.

    While I do know Sylviane and Marty and their lovely blogs, I do need to check out the others, which I shall soon after commenting here. So, thanks for introducing some more fellow bloggers here.
