101 Women Bloggers to Watch Fall 2008
Over the past two years I have been researching and reading about women bloggers. Prior to this listing, these women have been listed on the Virtual Woman’s Day Blog. However we have are taking another direction with that blog so I thought it would be a great idea to share these exceptional women with the readers of WE Magazine for Women.
These women bloggers come from all walks of life around the world and their blogs focus on a variety of topics from lifestyle to careers, to corporate life to politics, sex and feminism, to decorating and cooking, they feature work at home moms and stay at home moms, corporate leaders and entrepreneurs and everything in between.
I am sure you will enjoy reading what these women have to say. Each one has a way of sharing and baring her soul in a unique and profound way that makes you feel compelled to read more. I feel as though I know them having read their works. And you will too.
Be sure to stop by and say Hi to them. Tell them Heidi from WE magazine sent you. And if you feel compelled, please leave a comment below.

Heidi …
Wow-Wee! This is an incredibly phenomenal list of blogs and I can’t wait to dig right in and start giving them a read!
Blogging and Article Marketing are my two favorite online activities. As a member of WECAI, I’m proud and I feel privileged to have the opportunity to get to know all these women through their blogging efforts and expertise!
So far, I’ve created four blogs, each with a specific purpose. For anyone who’s failing forward in their network marketing business, take a peak at http://melaniekissell.wordpress.com It just may help!
Have a Magical and Meaningful life,

A great choice to select GrrlScientist of Living the Scientific Life. She is an outstanding writer who brings a love to nature to all, not just scientists.

September 13th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
Heidi,
Thank you so much for including me / Girlfriendology in your list of Women Bloggers to watch. I’m honored - and to keep such great company!! THANKS!
The reason I started Girlfriendology was because I was blessed with great girlfriends and wanted to inspire others to recognize and appreciate these amazing women and friendships who keep us heathier, happier, less stressed and even live longer. (And now research shows girlfriends also make us feel prettier!)
This wonderful spirit of girlfriends is basically women supporting each other, like you’ve done for me by including Girlfriendology on this great list.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Love the list and can’t wait to visit so many others.
Thanks! If there is anything I can do for you and WE Magazine, please let me know!

Wowsers. I was shocked to see my name included in this list of amazing women. Thanks for compiling this for us. Can’t wait to dive in and find some more great sites.
September 14th, 2008 at 10:15 am
This is a great list. I love the breadth and depth of topics that women are blogging. Thank you so much for including my blog. I am honored!
Women in the workforce tend to be helpers, even when in executive positions. We don’t just tell people to get things done. We help them succeed. My blog offers business and management advice that makes work easier and more fulfilling.
I’m fortunate to be the Chief of Staff to Dan Caruso the CEO of Zayo Group a hot new CLEC that has acquired 10 companies in just over 1 year. To be successful at Zayo - communication and efficiency are extremely important. If you have a chance, I would love to hear from other women in business. What is important to you? What makes work life more fullfilling? http://www.businesstoolsblog.com. You can learn about Dan Caruso at his blog http://www.bearonbusiness.com.

Heidi, Thank you SO MUCH for including me on your list! I feel very honored. Additionally, I am so looking forward to checking out the other blogs listed here, many of which are new to me.
At Jane Out of the Box, our mission is conducting research with female entrepreneurs and getting that information out into the world, to help women business owners achieve the entrepreneurial lifestyles they dream of. Now having interviewed over 800 women business owners, we’ve realized just how much creating a successful business is more than “just business” — it’s about designing a life that supports each entrepreneur in being the woman she most wants to be — embracing lifestyle, parenting decisions, creativity, curiosity, and personal passions. On that basis, I’m delighted to have a whole new set of wise women to connect with, each of whom has a unique story to tell. If I can help any of the bloggers here on her personal journey of truth-telling, business ownership, etc., I’m delighted to do so.
September 14th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
Thanks so much for the inclusion! This is quite nice of you. I am very honored and flattered!

I was so surprised to see that I was included on this list of women blog writers to watch! thank you so much for noticing me among all the very talented women out there.
for those of you who don’t know my blog, Living the Scientific Life (Scientist, Interrupted) is about science and nature; birds, evolution, medicine and the mental illness, bipolar disorder. I also include a fair amount of photography on my site because, as they say, “a picture is worth a thousand words” and my goal is to help people learn about and appreciate science and nature.
Once again, many thanks for noticing and recognizing my work.

Hi there,
On behalf of my biz partner/wife, thank you so much for including us on the 101 Women Bloggers to Watch List! Lani’s going to be thrilled when she gets the news.
Unfortunately, you have us listed as:
“Epiphanies with Leslie Sturgeon”
It’s actually “Lani Voivod” that you mean to append to the link, instead of Leslie. Leslie is a friend of ours who runs a fabulous group in NH, Women Inspiring Women. (www.wiwnh.com) Lani’s blogged about her, is a member of that group, and will probably be doing speaking gigs with them in the near future. Leslie’s not blogging yet, but we’re betting that’ll change in 2009 when she upgrades her website.
Thank you again, and we’re honored to be on your list!
Best,
Allen Voivod

Hi, Allen!
Thanks for bringing this to my attention.I have corrected the entry to reflect the right name Lani Voivod.

Hi Heidi!
In just two words, this list is BRILLIANT and INSPIRING! For the past few months, I’ve spent some time emerging into the women’s blogosphere. I’ve discovered many of the blogs you’ve listed and others I’m delighted to learn about. While these woman all have different interests, they share one commonality, and that is, they’re doing an exceptional job of allowing their passions to unfold and reflect upon others. Thank you, Heidi for bringing them all together and showing us that common ground.
Cheers to exceptional women doing wonderful things!

Hi,
I’m so thrilled to be on this list - and would love to start promoting it - but I’m not: WEB Mom MV with Dot Calm
It’s my address but I’m WEBLogMV and my business name is dotcalm (ee cummings like, lowercase one word)- the full name is Women Entreprenuers’ Blog of the Mohawk Valley.
Thanks for all the research it took to compile this list - I hope to send many entrepreneurs to this site in the upcoming months!

I did a quick post on my blog so that all of my readers can link over and discover some new favorites from this amazing list.
October 19th, 2008 at 6:57 pm
Heidi,
I’m soooo late in saying this (been traveling, changing diapers, throwing kids’ b-day parties, re-inventing our biz, swapping summer & winter clothes, yada yada yada — the usual 36-yr-old mom/wife/biz owner/chick stuff), but I was thinking about you tonight and finally wanted to take a minute and say THANK YOU.
I have no idea how this stuff happens — you know, the whole random connections thing — but I’m simply psyched, humbled, and tickled pink to have made your list. You bet your bootie I’m gonna milk the honor for all it’s worth.
Also, I’d love to find out more about your own experiences researching women bloggers. Is it a hobby or a job? Are you having fun? What have you discovered? I’d love to know. Maybe you’ve got an article or blog post that answers all these questions and more, and I just haven’t found it yet. If that’s the case, please send it along, if and when you get a spare moment, ha ha.
Seriously, thanks. Every little bit of positive feedback from the Online Universe matters exponentially to the Lonely Blogger. Nice to know someone’s paying attention and liking what they see.
My best to you and your endeavors,
Lani Voivod
