This past week, my sister told me that I was blogged about by one of her favourite Vancouver bloggers Kasia Fink. In her blog post, Kasia passed on the “Love Ya Blog” award to me, which has been circulating through the blogosphere. It’s essentially an awesome shout out to 8 great blogs she reads. (Sidenote: I am always surprised when I find out that people read my blog. It’s just so flattering!) So, to pass on the love and good spirit, here are 8 blogs I subscribe to that I love reading every day. Check them out – they rock my socks!
- Superforest – An awesome blog about sustainable human achievements with a humanifesto about how good manners will save this world.
- Good Morning Fabulous – Despite my obvious bias towards the writer, Steph Corker Irwin lives a blissed out life and writes about how you can be fabulous too.
- Brains on Fire – This company helps organizations build movements around who they are and why they’re here. When’s the last time you set your brain on fire?
- Social Squared – Jess Sloss is another proud BC boy that applied for Seth’s MBA program. When he’s not working at the local mountains, he writes about social media and internet marketing.
- UBC Blog Squad – A group of undergraduate and graduate students who blog about life at the University of British Columbia. My favourite of the bloggers is Pheobe Yu (1st year Commerce) – who I actually met one day on campus. It was kind of surreal!
- Seth Godin – Purple cows, tribes, and meatball sundaes. It’s a whole new look on marketing, leadership, and design that is sure to inspire.
- Run for One Planet – There is no better way to follow Matt Hill and Steph Tait as they run a marathon a day across the US and Canada, raising awareness for sustainable living options. 7 more weeks and they are home in Vancouver!
- Slow Leadership – In an age of instant and constant conenction, I read a couple posts by these folks to remind myself to breathe, relax and love my life and work more each day.
Many of my good friends have also started blogging, so I feel that my next 8 should feature the bloggers I get to hang out with in real life! I can’t seem to get enough of them!
Which blogs would you pass on the “Love Ya Blog” award to?

Aww thanks Matt! That made my day.
I usually devour any UBC blogs, especially those like yours which has a really strong voice behind the writing.
Also love: PostSecret.com, Lifehacker.com etc.
