A-Z Challenge: “B” is for Blogging

Aside Posted on April 2, 2014 Updated on April 10, 2014

When I started this blog, it had no real direction or theme.  In fact, I did not expect anyone to read it because it was going to be a place to synthesize my thoughts.  I never expected to “meet” other bloggers and be moved by their words, laugh with them or feel badly when they were experiencing the tough side of life.

I also did not expect to post my thoughts on books in a public forum for others to read.  I was content with posting my thoughts on Amazon or Goodreads, but the blog gave me the opportunity to add more personal comments that I did not feel were appropriate on Amazon or Goodreads.  Ultimately, this led to the reorganization of the blog.

My life has been in a state of transition for the past four years and some things are still unsettled.  I feel that everyone that has flowed in and out of my life, has helped me move in the right direction.  Some have moved into my life for a brief period to demonstrate what I want or do not want out of friendships and some have helped me along my blogging journey.  So today, I am recognizing Michelle from Ms. Romantic Reads, Anna from Herding Cats & Burning Soup, Becca from Lady or Not…Here I Come, The Chicks from Chick Swagger and Suzie from Suzie81 Speaks.  All of these bloggers have encouraged me, stopped by to chat and inspired me with their words.   May you all continue to brighten other people’s days with your wit, snark and spirited discussions.
