Instead of providing some links to some quality articles that I have read recently like usual, I wanted to share a huge resource with you guys this week. Jeremy Day from Insight Writer just posted his Carnival of Personal Development Edition #1.

A blog carnival is a compilation of posts that have been submitted by multiple bloggers that all discuss the same topic. Jeremy’s carnival encompassed personal development, personal finance, and personal health. A whopping 133 submissions were submitted!

Jeremy provided his favorites at the top of his post and the rest are listed below. I recommend you go check out all the excellent articles! There will be more carnivals coming up that will be hosted by different bloggers. I will try to keep my eye on them and keep you guys updated when they come out.

I want to apologize for my lack of a post on Blog Action Day. I was really excited to write one, but many things came up that kept me from doing it. I hate it when people don’t do what they say they will do… so I am very frustrated with myself!  Hopefully you can forgive me.

Luckily, the blogging community came to my rescue on Blog Action Day. The participation was incredible and some amazing posts were written. I would like to link to those who participated with some exceptional posts. I know this does not make up for my absence on Blog Action Day, but it is the least I can do. Enjoy!

I have finally finished moving into my new place! I got my internet connection set up today and couldn’t be happier. It is amazing how much I depend on the internet these days. A few days without it and I almost went crazy.

Once again, sorry for the lack of post over the last few days. To start off, I would like to recap on some posts that deserve attention around the blogosphere:

• @ onsimplicity.net – Do You Really Deserve a Break Today? - Another excellent post from Sara. This one discusses marketing techniques that make us think we need a break, and how we end up just blowing money on things we don’t need.
• @ remodelingthislife.com – Simplicity To Me – A beautiful description of one woman’s simple life.
• @ jungleoflife.com – Don’t Ever Give Up – An inspiring video with an inspiring article. Despite the recent news about the video, it is still a great read!
• @ frugaldad.com – Seven Ways to Ruin Your Financial Future – Learning what not to do is just as valuable as learning what you should do!
• @ zenhabits.net – Really Simple Goal Setting – A nice and simple article about setting goals in your life. A great post from Leo.
• @ thinksimplenow.com – How to Overcome Resentment – An article about letting go of resentment and anger. Written very well and provides some awesome insight.
