2013 Annual Review: Reader Roundup

Reader Roundup

Hi, everyone—the 2013 Annual Review continues! All posts will be open for comments from readers.

In this post: links from several of our readers who are also undertaking their own reviews. Over at World Domination HQ I’ve come down with post-review bronchitis (yikes!), but not to fear—I’ll be back on Thursday with one final post in the series.

Note: this is the first batch of trackbacks we found in the blog archives for the initial review posts.

Are you still writing yours? Don’t worry, you’re not late! We’ll update this post with more additions next week.

    Chris,

    Thanks so much for including me on your reader round-up! Your journey has been a big inspiration to me and is one of the big reasons why I’ve been able to set out on my own adventure (and also why I’ve chosen to blog about it). Have a happy holiday and good luck in the coming year!

  • Benny says:

    Thank you Chris for adding mine. I never did an annual review before. Only started when I read you did one. Been fun and helpful.

    Get well soon!

  • Lucy Chen says:

    I’ve conducted my first annual review this time. 2013 is a year of discover and loss for me.

  • Jess Moran says:

    Oh, so THIS is where all my hits have been coming from. 😉

    Thanks Chris! Here’s to 2014!

    P.S I’m stoked to read how all your readers are rocking the universe in their own ways.

    Love reading what others have accomplished in 2013 in the Annual Roundup. It inspires me to make 2014 an incredible year. Based off your example I created my first Annual Roundup at http://www.ratracegrad.com/2013-annual-review/

  • Aske Christiansen says:

    Great project. Inspired me to do one as well – actually I realized that 2013 was the best year of my life so far!

    I agree, reading annual reviews from other bloggers is such an inspiration! For me, 2013 was a year of ups and downs, but in the end I came out stronger. Here’s the link to my annual review: http://exploringmaybeland.wordpress.com/2013/12/29/looking-back-looking-ahead/

    Que bueno!!! este artículo es valiosísimo.Como dijera el Dr. Chopra ” Everything is music” y en virtud de ello podemos sanarnos.También los antiguos Rishis repetían sonidos con sus mantras que decían provenir del espacio y que posteriormente fueron reconocidos cuando hubo la tecnología para hacerlo.Esto es una prueba más de que somos energía vibrando en una frecuencia específica y que dependiendo de nuestros peon,mientosa(armosiosns o inarmónicos), alteramos nuestra fisicalidad y realidad.No he terminado de leerlo, lo dejo de postre para la noche.Namaste!!!
