Welcome - Please Come in!

ThinkMaya has been chosen at the New Blog of The Week by Barbara at Blogging Without a Blog. I am excited about this and want to welcome everyone stopping by my blog!

Starting this blog had been a long time dream and it felt great when I did. It felt wonderful, but not completely right yet. It was when people started to comment and share that I realized what I was missing. Knowing that I am being heard forms a big part of the fulfillment I get from this blog. The feedback on a post forms the bridge for me from one post to the next - an inspiration for new thoughts and learning.

I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone that has commented on my blog so far. I hope more people will share their thoughts on how my posts affect their lives and thinking, since I truly value that. I know a number of you have been around in the blog world for years - I welcome any sort of feedback and/or constructive criticism about this space.

And yes, if you like what you read here, please do subscribe to my blog. I do put in a lot of work into this blog. I promise to keep things interesting!

If you are short on time, I suggest you take a couple of minutes to see some slideshows accompanying some of my posts such as this one  for BlogActionDay and this one on the “thinkmaya Framework” for Happiness and Balance

And if you are in the Unites States today, please do get out and cast your vote! And come back and relax right here :)

  • Maya, I just wanted to say congratulations on being NBOTW.

    It’s so long since I’ve been here to comment that my details are no longer stored in the comment boxes.

    Sorry about that Maya. I’m sad to say it’s been the same way with so many blogs I love. I see them in my reader but rarely visit. That’s pretty bad.

    I’ll wrestle with my conscience while you carry on being fantastic. :D

  • Maya, my biggest congratulations to you on receiving this honor from Barbara! I know you put your heart and soul into what your write - and I am forever grateful for what I've learned in my visits here. You truly are an amazing lady, and this honor you've received today is no surprise - once again, congratulations on having your writing recognized for the true value it provides!
  • Maya, congratulations! Barbara always makes great picks -- after all, she included mine in Not So New Blogs Of The Week. It's a great way to find new and interesting blogs and I almost always add her picks to my feed reader, unless they're already there, which seems to happen a lot -- did I mention that Barbara always makes great picks?

    Again, congrats...

    and I voted earlier in the week and wish I could go do it again!

  • Go Maya! I think this is my first time here, although I couldn't be sure. It seems like people who comment here also comment at the other places I read, so it may be that I've followed a link here before. Anywho--congrats!
  • Maya this is a very impressive accomplishment for you. It's a pleasure to extend my heartfelt congratulations and witness your growth and momentum.

    Good to see you are doing so well. I wanted to say that I really like the thinkmaya framework. Its a great way to start putting things together and build a solid foundation. Kind of wish I would have done something like that when I first started blogging. Keep up the great work and let me know if you need anything.

    Cheers,

  • Ari, Davina - Thank you so much! You both are my old pals now :)

    Hi Natural - Thank you for your advice! You are so right - blogging is very much like life - have to be authentic and we certainly cannot please everyone! But it is really refreshing for me to see that actually - since that is what I am most comfortable with.

    Hi Dave - I left my thoughts over at your blog - so you can feel even more guilty about not coming by while I continue to visit you ;). Take care Dave. Take care of the kiddies - they are really the most important!
