Welcome to the May 21, 2007 edition of the Carnival of Powerful Living!  Once again, thank you to everyone who submitted posts for this week’s carnival. Your participation is what makes this a valuable resource for people all over the world, week after week. Thank you for doing something that makes the world a better place.

A while ago, I challenged the Powerful Living community to take on engaging people who don’t know about this carnival yet. According to Google Analytics, our last edition received 73 unique views during its first 10 days in publication. Our goal is to double the original size of the Powerful Living community, which would be 172 unique views. Let’s get those links a flyin’ and introduce some new eyes to the vast and extraordinary resource we’ve created here together.

On to the Carnival…
