125 Sites Making it Great (Just Like Phil)

November 29th, 2007 • Click to view Related Articles
Filed Under: Fellow Half-Fullers

Just before the holiday one of my best blogging friends and mentors, Phil Gerbyshak, posted his “Make it Great 125” - a group of sites which make his world great.

I happen to be familiar with a lot of these sites, but not all of them, so Phil provided me with many new writers and wisdom to discover.

I was also honored to make the list myself - thank you for that Mr. Gerbyshak!

As a tribute to Phil’s enduring positive energy and relentless pursuit of greatness, and as a means to spread great blogs as far and as wide as I can (notice I take Phil’s word for it - he knows great when he sees it), I reprise the list below:

    Terry:

    It is bloggers like you and Phil who always manage to delight and surprise me from time to time. I’m spending the holidays at my brother’s house and was just checking in like I usually do at home.

    I was responding to a comment over at my blog and the subject was how grateful we all are to have made many new friends in the blogging world.

    And with that said, I am humbled and grateful to be on this special list in addition to being connected with bloggers like you and Phil.

    Thanks for the holiday link love - it is always appreciated!

    You know…I wonder how many on this list would say that interacting with Phil inspires them to a new level of greatness? He sets a great example of selflessness and caring that encourages all of us to give a little more.

    I love the new look — very styling!

    Happy holidays to you and yours. Looking forward to seeing you in 2008!

    Drew

    Hi Drew! Happy Holidays to you too, and I’m glad you like my new home. Yep, I’m styling!

    Phil G has been, and continues to me, a great inspiration for me on my blogging journey. He’s da man!

    All the best and see you soon.

  12. Comment by Phil Gerbyshak on 25 December 2007:

    Great new digs Terry! LOVE the look! Congrats on the big move.

    And thanks to Terry, Drew, and Stephen for saying such wonderful things about me. Warms my heart this Christmas day to know I have touched you, as you have touched me.

    Virtual hugs for now - real ones soon!
