During my travels for a New Blog of the Week, I come across a huge variety of blogs. Some end up being profile pages embedded in some domain, others are straight blogs with their own domains and some are of the Blogspot variety. When I’m looking for one to showcase, it’s not so much about the underlying web address. It’s much more about style, design, content and my perceived value to the readership. I do lean toward writing websites but followers of this series know that other types of sites make the grade as well. I chose the NBOTW this time because I just felt good when I got there.
I didn’t see an archive per se so I couldn’t say for certain that this is a “new” site, but it was new to me so, what the hey.
There’s a lot to like about this site. The layout is simple and easy on the eyes. The posts are all excerpted on the left hand side and the images that are part of each post are consistent and kinda cool. Since content is king, it’s important to note that there are lots of real world dilemmas tackled within the pages here.
Check out these post titles:
Slave of the mind
Senseless arbitrariness
Self mastery: the feared path
Finding myself beyond my identity
Here is an excerpt from a recent post. Most all of the posts here contain this kind of wisdom:
Has listening become inappropriate anymore? I hope not. Still, everywhere I look I see exchange of deafness. Husband goes deaf in the form of stonewalling while wives go deaf with incessant complaints. Parents are unable to hear their child because their ears are muffled with authority. Leaders tend to not hear the bigger issues because their pride is drumming noisily on their thoughts. In every exchange I encounter, seldom do I see a person who truly listens. Most are eager to launch their say on issues without even listening to the thoughts of the other party. This foolish attitude scratches the harmony of relationship which we should extend to our self and to our kind.
I like what Walter has to say, and how he says it. Go extend your mind by visiting the New Blog of the Week:

Hey George, I just read Walter’s post on listening. We are on the same wavelength. And I am learning about raw food from Michele.
You are really creating a blogging community for me here. Thanks for all your introductions.
