Thinking Blogger Award

I have been tagged by ndpthepoetress, of Binding Ink, with the Thinking Blogger Award. Thank you… thank you… thank you, oh great Muse. I am indeed humbled and honored.

In keeping with the purpose and directive of this award started by ilker yoldas, I am to select 5 blogs that make me think. Hmmm…five blogs, huh? That may prove difficult as there are some really great blogs in the blogosphere, but I’ll give it a try.

The participation rules are simple:
1. If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think,
2. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme,
3. Optional: Proudly display the 'Thinking Blogger Award' with a link to the post that you wrote (here is an alternative silver version if gold doesn't fit your blog).

Interestingly, I found that several blogs I would have selected have already been tagged with the Thinking Blogger Award. I guess great minds think alike. Without further ado, in no particular order, are five blogs I’m tagging with the Thinking Blogger Award.

AfroBella: AfroBella is also known as Patrice Elizabeth Grell Yursik, a reformed tomboy from Trinidad. AfroBella is a website dedicated to product reviews, ruminations about style, and interviews with women all shades of beautiful.

Now That’s What I’m Talkin’ About!!!!: The purpose of this site, by Theo Johnson, is to inform, educate and have a little fun on the side. He covers a variety of topics ---social issues, politics, black history, business, technology and entertainment.

Young Black Professional Guide: YBP Guide is a forum of multiple perspectives and advice to support the many challenges that Young Black Professionals face. Their mission is to empower Young Black Professionals with the knowledge and inspiration to foster progression and productivity in the Black community.

YBP Guide was started by Kimberly Michelle and Fredric in October 2006. While they are the editors of the Young Black Professional Guide, many of their peers often contribute articles.

MartyBLOGs: Martin Lindsey’s blog challenges you to change your life with an ‘actionist’ attitude. An actionist is not hung up on opinions but interested in forging ahead and doesn’t get fixated on placing blame, just finding a solution. Handle business, take care of things, then move on. That’s the actionist way.

David McQueen: David believes we are all born magnificent, and each have a right to express that magnificence for our benefit and our communities.

He is a speaker, writer, youth worker and mentor and a Christian with a keen passion for education and youth development.

That’s it, folks. I hope you enjoy the thoughts on the pages of these wonderful bloggers. Be sure to check them out and let me know what you think.

Thank you, again, ndpthepoetress!
