A Christmas Gift - Free Links For Personal Development Bloggers

Christmas is around the corner and I really want to do something special for the friends that I have acquainted on this blogging journey. I really appreciate you reading my articles and especially to those who have continuously supported ‘A Long Long Road’ in your constructive comments (I think you know who you are 
)
I have been thinking hard about doing something special for this Christmas and I have decided to share a Christmas gift with my blogger friends - I will be giving out free links to fellow bloggers. To get the free link to your blog, please do the following:
- Send me the URL of any one of your articles on personal development. You can do this in the comment section of this post or via the contact form. I encourage friends to send in your most valued article that you feel will help readers a lot.
- As part of your submission, please give a short, one paragraph synopsis of the article. Synopsis will have an impact on readers’ click-thru to your article. As such, it’s best to include a synopsis to help readers understand what your article is about.
- As this is Christmas, the season of giving, I like to get some gifts and links as well. So if you will be so kind as to offer me a link on your blog or one of your articles, I will give more in return by linking to your blog’s homepage as well. This is on top of the link to your article. So that’s two links which will help in your Google PR or Technorati ranking.
- I like to emphasis that the link to A Long Long Road is NOT mandatory. Do it only if you want to. As long as you make a submission, I will still give out a free link to an article of your choice.
- My only condition is that your article must be about personal development. I really want this to be a win-win for both blogger friends and also for my readers. As such, the article must be helpful to my readers in personal development as well. And yes, I win too, if you give me a link
Due to the short lead time, I will consolidate submissions from now until end of Christmas Day, 25 Dec (Pacific Time). I will make a resource post comprising the consolidated submissions on Boxing Day, 26 Dec 2007.
Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to everyone.
This is a great gift, Lawrence. I hope that many bloggers will take advantage of your generosity. I will try to have something ready by the end of the day.

thank you so much, lawrence. i’ too, will have something ready soonest - just arrived after a long, hard drive through slushy, snowy, foggy mountains, followed my an immediate burst of shovelling grandma’s driveway, so i don’t know how much more energy i’ll have today. you’ll have it by tomorrow.
btw, i have a way of linking back to things like this that seems to work quite well - once the article is posted here, i add a little footer to my article, saying something like, “this post was mentioned in lawrence’s christmas gift post”, with a link to that post. here is an example.
[…] this special day, other than my Christmas gift, I like to share a very meaningful story with you. It’s not written by me, a friend emailed […]
This is an old classic - but one I still like, partly because I think it’s counter-intuitive: http://www.katinkahesselink.net/kh/vulnerability.htm
The road of sensitivity, Katinka Hesselink
Being sensitive - being emotional - being strong. Those three things sound so different, but I feel real strength has everything to do with being in touch with your emotions and being sensitive to others.
Thanks! That is so thoughtful of you! Ijust wrote an article on my scary net worth. Link is here: http://littledoughgirl.blogspot.com/2007/12/want-to-know-your-net-worth.html
The article that I chose to link to this site is one that I wrote back on November 25 entitled Compassion Begins With Me. You will find it here:
http://patriciasingleton.blogspot.com/2007/11/cpmpassion-begins-with-me/html
This is a story about how I realized that before I could help others, that I had to learn to be compassionate and heal myself first. Until then, I didn’t have a clue how to help others.
Thanks for the link.
Sorry, that link should be
http://patriciasingleton.blogspot.com/2007/11/compassion-begins-with-me.html
I should have read it before I posted the original one.
Geez, I’m too late, am I? Nonetheless, Lawrence just want to drop a note to commend on your kind generosity. Maybe I’ll try to be faster next year
Cheers,
Ellesse
Hi everyone, thanks to all who have contributed their articles. I really appreciate the effort despite the short lead time within the holidays period. Thank you!
You can find the post here: http://lawrencecheok.com/192/recommended-reads-for-27-dec-2007.html
@Ellesse, if you have something to share, you can still send it to me via the contact form or email. I will be doing weekly recommended reads, and will include your article if it’s relevant.
Happy holidays everyone!
Hey Lawerence. No worries about the link. You’ve already given me more than what I need.
Friendship. Take care and have a great year ahead!
Cheers,
Ellesse
Hi Ellesse,
Thanks
The feeling is mutual. You’ll certainly be hearing more from me. Have a great year ahead as well.
Definitely!
Cheers,
Ellesse
