Positive Carnival #1

This is the first Positive Carnival - a collection of positive posts from the www of blogs.

Thanks to Steve Pavlina for two great posts: The first is Skepticism'">May Be Harmful or Fatal if Swallowed . Steve posits that people hid behind the mask of skepticism in order to avoid appearing or doing something foolish.  Skepticism is harmful, he says, and encourages us to move beyond skepticism. He finishes his post with ....The skeptic says, “Let’s see if this will work.”  The intelligent person says, “Let’s see this work.” 

In Tithing,Steve Pavlina writes about the role of tithing in generating wealth. He writes "Tithing is the practice of giving away 10% of your income (tithe means “tenth”), usually to a charitable cause.  Some people absolutely swear by the practice of tithing and consider it integral to the process of wealth creation." Steve also suggest that tithing can help us overcome scarcity thinking. He finishes his post seeking to achieve the balance between giving and receiving.

Jim "Suldog" Sullivan's post 100 Years Old Today is about his Grandmother's 100 birthday on December 1st. He writes, "When my Grandma was born television wasn't even an idea, let alone a reality...Women didn't have the right to vote ....the average life expectancy in the United States was forty-seven. He closes with this She has done more, with what she's been given, than anyone else I know. I treasure the time I spend with her now and the times I have spent with her in the past. I couldn't have asked for a Grandmother, made to my specifications, who could possibly have been more perfect than the one that I have." Read what's in between - it's a great read!

I'd like to mention a few positive blogs that I've encountered in my blog travels:

Dr. Deborah Serani writes a blog called Psychological Perspectives - great content on all things psychological, cool graphics. (In the interest of full disclosure she use my post How to Stay Positive During the Holidays.)

Phylameana lila Désy from Spiral Visions hosts many a Carnival of Healing and does a great job. Visit her blog for all sorts of interesting articles related to health, wellness, and healing.

Three Wise Women is a lively, passionate blog from, yup you guess it - three wise women, Judith, Marion, and Jane. Check out Judith 's post on  Stealth Helping - what a wonderful idea!

For those of you who've made it to the bottom of this post and love to pop bubble wrap this is for you - pop away!
