The Personal Development Carnival

Welcome to the March 20, 2007 edition of The Personal Development Carnival.

Wow… I forgot just how much I get out of hosting these carnivals! Even though I had to jump in pretty quickly for this one, I’m really grateful that it happened. I found some new blogs (my feed reader overfloweth), and reconnected with some blogs that I haven’t read in a while. Thanks to all of you who submitted articles! I hope those of you reading get as much out of reading as I did from putting this together.

On with the show!
