Another year is coming to a close! It doesn’t seem like all that long ago the year was just beginning!
This has been a great year in blogging, I have watched my blog grow and flourish. I started the year off with the Prove It! challenge where I posted five times a week for about three months.
It was a great experience which helped to improve not only my writing but my alexa rating. But that wasn’t the best part, the best part was being able to meet and interact with many new people.
Over the course of the year I have published a lot of posts which ended up very popular. This based on comments, shares and votes received. I am going to share twelve of those with you, though there are many more. I don’t want to overwhelm anyone with a huge list so I chose twelve since there are twelve months in the year.
I’ve chosen topics that cover the span of this blog: personal development, business/entrepreneurship and blogging. I purposely didn’t choose any of my most popular posts because you can find those to your left!
Enjoy!

Hi Stacy,
It’s truly been a year. Just like you, I’ve had my own share of events in the year
ranging from my alexa going below 40k to my blog being inactive for two months to
getting it up again and encountering a new range of followers and developing a
brand new routine. Altogether I’m full of gratitude for an eventful year and I can
only think of an exciting 2012.
These are some great posts you have reminded me of. I know my comments are in some
of these posts, whiile some have not seen my eyeballs. Certain posts here have
titles that is beckoning me to check them out, no wonder they are part of those
that are popular. Headlines could be massive.
Stacy, you are an amazing lady. How you discipline yourself to do what you do
despite the challenges that you face is just admirable. The smile that greets us
when we get to this blog make us feel at home.
This community is blessed to have you, Stacy. Wishing you an outstanding new year.
