Steve Pavlina was hosting a semi-contest and he asked the blogosphere to write an article on how to be a woman. The results were, frankly, prodigious. (52 entries!) I had wanted/yearned/hoped that Senor Pavlina would read “How to Be A Woman” and pickmepickme! And he didn’t.
The universe in its elegant funkiness, however, works in awesome ways because the entry was actually selected by Erin Pavlina, his wife! No offense to Steve, but I love the thought that my “How to Be A Woman” was selected by an actual woman.
So, to those of you visiting as a result of Erin’s pick of my blog, welcome! To Erin, thank you for including this article in your picks. Finally, to my regular readers, thank you for sticking with PersistentIllusion from its inception. You, above all, have helped refine the message of this blog and always kept me on track.
If you are interested in yet more feminine excellence, check out Erin and Steve’s selections.
Erin’s top picks:
- Womanhood by Vicki
- How to Be a Woman by Hayden Tompkins
- How to Be a Woman by Hunter Nuttall
- I Am Woman by Millionaire Mommy Next Door
Steve’s top picks:
- How to Be a Woman by Suzie Fleming
- How to Be a Woman by Squawkfox
- How to Be a Woman by Emily Calle

I am thrilled both Steve and Erin gave their insight. While many articles presented consistent considerations…the differences in voice, tone, and thought are astounding. Congratulations.

Oh how I miss Starbucks, naturally it is one of the main reasons why I plan to relocate overseas that of course and Burger King – Congrats again

I can’t that a croissanwich is so delicious that I would relocate to another country for one, but, yes, they are DELICIOUS.

Hi!
I too loved your post–
I submitted as well, but didn’t get chosen…but it was a great exercise, and if I’d started it BEFORE the deadline was already over…well, anyway…it was fun.
Nice to meet you!! Enjoying cruising around your site…come on over to mine anytime!

Congratulations! I know what you mean about loving how it was picked by Erin instead of Steve. Of course either one would have been great, but it’s just a little more special coming from Erin.

I always figured she was a pretty special lady, what with Steve Pavlina’s experiments like the 30 Day Raw Food Experiment. That takes a lot of patience!
