Darren hosted his group writing project this week, the theme - reviews and predictions. I submitted the post, 2007: From Productivity to Possibilities. This week’s Fab 5 comes from the list that’s topping over 200 with another day to go.

Look Back at 2006 Celeb Fashion Beauty - I’m not a girlie girl. In fact, I lean heavily on the intellectual side. So I count on posts like this to give me enough dish to make an entry into the girlie conversations. Now I at least know what people are so outraged about with Britney Spears. Thanks Meg :-)

Wait…Never - Must heed advice from Robert. You only have today. Today is the day to begin. The best thing that I did in 2006 was start writing in this blog. First once a week, then once a day. I finally started living on purpose by heeding the advice in this post.

2007 Travel Predictions and Trends - More interesting news, I had no idea the US lifted travel restrictions in Cuba. Great site to get travel tips, especially if you’re going on a budget. I’m glad I found this site.

Top 5 2006 Money Topics - As usual, solid financial information from Free Money Finance. These tips are classics and will be useful long after 2007.

How To Meet New Friends - Problogger’s projects always attract a plethora of blogging tips. This post summarizes them and places emphasis where it belongs. There’s no silver bullet in blogging. It’s about writing great content and building community. There are tons of tools, but time is the one you have to be most concerned about. Kudos Cam :-)
