Stats, Stage Fright and Stuff...

It's been an interesting week, folks. And if I must admit, today I'm experiencing a little "stage fright" of sorts.

Let me explain...
As typical, I spent the week working on clients' blogs, preparing articles, doing research...you know, the whole kit and kaboodle that goes with this way of life.

Then, as I concluded another episode of Jeopardy yesterday, (which I never miss), I received an unexpected Email. Much to my surprise, I was featured as one of "60 of the Best Minds in the Blogosphere" over at Possibilityoftoday.com!

I had to read it several times for it to register. :-)

I can't tell you how much it made my day, my week, my month, my year!
And get this--I'm included with some serious heavy-hitters like Seth Godin, Leo at Zen Habits, and Ali Hale of Aliventures.

A special thanks to Sibyl, (who, by the way, is a Harvard graduate) for bestowing this honor. Additional thanks to all those who extended kind words and comments by Email or blog "shout-outs".

Which brings us to today's "stage fright"...
With the anticipated traffic and new eyes potentially coming my way from her readers, and others that made the list, I agonized over how to approach today's post.

Should I be sassy? Cerebral? Funny? Reflective? Philosophical?
Well, you get my drift here.
Ferklempt, I decided to just write the darn post.:-) Hope you enjoy.

With that being said, here are a few stats and announcements for Pen and Prosper for this anniversary month:

As always, thanks for spending your time with me. Have a wonderful week.
