Has it really been a whole year since I started Money and Values? It doesn't feel like it, but the calendar doesn't lie. I have really enjoyed my first year of blogging. It's been fun and thought-provoking to research, ponder, and write about so many different topics. I've gotten terrific comments from so many people. I'm so glad we've gotten the Carnival of Ethics, Values, and Personal Finance up and running. I love that many of my posts on topics I care about show up high in search engine results. And although I know it's small potatoes to most bloggers, I'm so excited and honored to have had almost 30,000 visitors in the past year-- thank you for being part of that!
Here are some of my favorite posts from the last year...
