In an effort to be less of a lurker (someone who frequents blogs but doesn’t comment on them) I’m starting a new series where I feature other blogs that genuinely resonate with me.
My first pick is Valerie Mondesir’s blog, InsightFULL. I chose Valerie because she writes about her own personal development in a way that helps others improve themselves too. Plus, personal development a topic that I love and was the focus of this blog when it first started (way back when), and I’m glad to see a unique, female voice in the space.
I also like that Valerie describes herself as quiet, but fun. It’s clear from her blog that she’s fun, and it’s clear from the fact that she doesn’t self-promote herself into oblivion that she is quieter than the typical blogger. Her blog is inward-focused, which is a refreshing change from some of the louder personalities on the web. Unfortunately, she doesn’t always get the recognition she deserves for being a great writer who picks great topics and says great things about them.
Here are three recommended posts that Valerie has written lately:
These are not just posts that I thought were neat or cool or awesome – I learned something interesting about myself from each of these posts. Check them out, and if you like what you read, be sure to subscribe to her regular updates here. I truly think you will enjoy her blog.
Oh, my. I'm so flattered that I'm blushing! Thanks so much, Monica ... you have no idea how much this means to me. I remember when I first started reading your blog in February 2009. You're one of the many bloggers out there (more than I can count) who inspired to me to keep on with the blogging, even when I wondered if I was wasting my time.
Hey, that's really nice that I inspired you to blog. You've inspired me to keep blogging, because there are still blogs out there that use social media to talk about ideas, not about social media. Cheers!
Thanks so much for sharing Valerie's blog with us. I look forward to getting more acquainted with her work, but judging by the posts you've suggested she has some genuine insight and perspective many of us can learn from.
