Welcome to the March 17, 2007 edition of the Carnival of Powerful Living! Thank you to everyone who sent submissions this week.
As usual, the carnival is packed with great material, both practical and brilliant.
Each week, I feature one or two submissions that really caught my eye. These posts are well-written, pertinent, entertaining, and original. Be sure to check them out.
One thing I’d like to work on is making sure all of this great work gets the exposure it deserves. Please consider posting a link to the carnival on your site or forwarding the link along to any friends you think may be interested.
Enjoy…

Erek,
Thank you so much for selecting (and featuring!) my post in your carnival. You don’t know how affirming that is for me as I have been wanting feedback on my writing (my blog is new). After having read some of your own posts, I take it as a true compliment.
All the best!

Powerful stuff! Great job on this carnival!
[…] I was inspired to write on this topic because of the positive feedback I received after submitting one of my posts to a blog carnival titled “Carnival of Powerful Living“. My post Do You Deserve To Be Thin? was featured in the carnival and I was given very positive feedback from Erek, the carnival host. I took this feedback to heart as my blog is new and I have been interested in knowing how my writing is coming across. I invite you to check out his blog, as well as his post regarding hitting a plateau during weight loss titled “Slimming and Slogging“. This is a motivational post in a Q & A format that covers how to approach a plateau by looking at it as a new game that requires a new strategy. Additionally, the point is stressed that it is important to avoid making your level of personal happiness dependent on weight loss.
