Do you ever feel a little brittle? Are there times when your wisdom seems weak and your intuition is on the fritz?

We all have moments when we feel a bit too buffeted about by the storms of life, when our souls get a little bruised. In those moments it is good to have a pool of guidance and inspiration to dip into.

A few years ago one of my favorite good-souls, Bob Carlton, invited people to gather their best posts-of-the-year together and post them all up over at his blog, The Corner. Every year since, I have committed to this practice, finding the things that have fed me the most from deep within my internal sense of authority and wisdom. Gathering them up in a single place gives me one-stop shopping on those days when my soul is running on empty. It is a fixed reference point when I feel lost in the world.

So here are the posts from 2008 that will carry me through 2009. What your your top nine? Put a linke to your round up in the comments below. I’m sure we’d all love to visit.
