In high school, I absolutely hated it when someone called me a cheerleader but right now I just can’t help myself. Why? Because it’s been a phenomenal week for bloggers who rock personal development!

.
Our good friend Corey of SimpleMarriagewrote a passion inducing post at ZenHabits (!) called “A Marital Spark: 6 Principles for More Passion and Energy in Marriage“. Zen Habits, if you aren’t aware, is a personal development juggernaut and it is beyond awesome that Corey is a guest blogger.

.Also, I wrote an article for aGoodHusband on “What Women Think of Daddy Blogging“.

I didn’t actually format this post, Cory Huff did, so I was fascinated at what he decided to bold. (i.e. What he thought was particularly important out of the whole shebang.) He liked:
- Men and women can assert themselves without diminishing the authority of their partner.
- The manliness movement is, at its core, an evolution of masculinity.
- The demand for personal responsibility.
- Man up.
Additionally, I just wanted to re-celebrate the release of Squawkfox’s first e-book “Frugal Food & Fitness: How to Get Fit and Fab Without Spending a Fortune“. I do believe I would call this fabulous!

So to the bloggers who are kicking ass and taking names, I salute you! You are accomplishing incredible things and should be celebrated for sharing your gifts – your message – with the world.

Great post. I agree. It can get so darned tough though to find the time. With a 4 month old baby at home, it can be so darned tough (sigh)….

Congrats to all.
Kevin, ALLWAYS know where the diapers are, be able to discern if it’s a #1 or #2 before you remove the “covering”. If it’s the latter pull out a couple of extra wet ones before removal. Also, unfold the new “cover” and have it ready for immediate installation. Congrats on being a daddy, we are becoming extinct in today’s age.

Your posts have taught me to say “Thank You” for the fabulous mention! I do think I need to write you another eBook.
