Day 14 of a month of me involves reason, there is a reason for everything, don't you think? I don't know why my brain often wonders such things, but it does? The reason why I started blogging was to become a better person, silly maybe, but tell me if after visiting your list of favorite bloggers, did you come away inspired or challenged at all? I often do and it's forced me to grow, leave my comfort zone for a bit and try new things, and I needed that. I've grown. I'm finding that turning 50 has a reason, it does get you to think about things, and I've realized these last few years that I've been blogging, I'm a bit better, alot happier and more content. I've learned from you, shared with you and hopefully taught you in some way. Blogging has been such a positive thing in my life. I know if I need to find an encouraging word, I can find it on a blog, if I want a decorating idea, or a recipe there's a blog that has it. I've learned alot about photography from bloggers who share their secrets. Bloggers are the best about sharing!With that said, I'll share a few of my favorite bloggers with you. Please don't be offended if your not mentioned. There's not much difference between my favorites listed to the right and the few that have become apart of me. I love you all, but these are the ones that read like a book and I feel connected too:
Messy, Thrilling Life is owned by Brin. I've followed her for many years, almost from my start. I've walked with her, cried with her and reaped her happyness. She is the woman I thought I'd be.
The Farm Chicks is so addictive, I just love their style. I could so be one. The photo above came from their site and it spills over with country charm. They are living my dream!
MaryJanes Farm is my home away from home. MaryJane Butters is my hero! She lives her life her way and totally organic! I will travel to her farm one day and stand in awe! ( that should be on my bucket list)
There you have it, the top three that if asked would best describe me. These sites and others have made turning 50 challenging and interesting, for that I thank them and you.
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy reading your blog, I agree with you about blogging, I have had the same positive results in my life since blogging.Thank you for sharing.
Sue
I agree with your three blog choices. They are tops with me as well.
ReplyDeleteYes, since I've come to know you through your blog, I can see how your favorites have inspired you. You inspire me too. Thanks for the help with my question about the curtain for the bookcase. I will definitely do it the way you suggested. You know whenever you make something or suggest something, I always take a really close look and think, 'Sue is so good at decorating, maybe I can do it the way she does.' I've so enjoyed your posts here and your Herbal Farmstead blog. Thanks for always sharing yourself with us. You rock sweet friend! And you're just going to get better as time goes on. Big Hugs! xxoo
ReplyDeleteI think blogging can be therapeutic. They say the same thing about journaling and I think that blogging is a more high tech/awesome form of keeping a diary LOL. :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best,
Allison
WOW, love this post. Really inspirational stuff. How awesome to read a blog post about ... blogging. And all you get from it.
ReplyDeleteMind if I make a suggestion? I think this qualifies as just the sort of "aha moment" we are collecting on our site. Would you consider sharing?
If so please visit us at ahamoment.com (the site is sponsored by Mutual of Omaha and it collects all different types of "moments" big and small)
Thanks again for the post and please have a great day!
