My finest work – as chosen by YOU!
It’s been a little bit longer than a year since I started this blog and what a ride it has been! From the random compliments on the street to the digital love I felt as people shared the posts through their networks, I am humbled to be able to brighten up your day or challenge the way you approach a problem.
A year of blogging also means 162 posts (holy wow!). With new subscribers every day, I feel like some of you may have missed out on some great stuff. I’d like to take this opportunity to share with you some posts in which your fellow reader thought were worth reading and/or passing on.
Below are the posts from 2009 that received the most pageviews, pingbacks, or retweets … aka: people liked them:
- Work and Life – the New Balancing Act: How I manage a life where work and play closely overlap
- Be Unstoppable: What you can learn from one man’s “movement” (video included)
- What Can Love Do Now: When Jason Mraz sings to you in a “secret show” in Paris, you can’t help but feel the love (videos included)

I hope I didn’t miss any of your favourites. Feel free to add a post name in the comments section if you think I did.

Hey Matt!
You don’t know me, but I go to Sauder and stumbled upon your blog through a friend. Just wanted to say that everytime I visit your blog I leave happier and slighlty more empowered. So thanks!
Hi Patricia. Glad you enjoy visiting! Hope Sauder is treating you well. I am excited to come back and see the new building. I wish I had that when I was a student, that’s for sure!
