With great excitement and appreciation I accept this nomination from sued51 and her blog Last Train to Qville. She’s a great writer with inspiring posts and a great vocabulary! Check out her work if you have the chance!
I’ve been blogging for almost a year now (look for the one-year anniversary post on August 9th!), but only recently started connecting with other bloggers. I wish I knew earlier how much I was missing out on…
In the beginning, I considered my blog more of a website where I could post my thoughts. I would write a post, share it on Facebook, check stats occasionally, and come back a few days later for my next post. Honestly, it was more for organizing my thoughts than “blogging”.
In the past month or so, however, I started to regularly visit other blogs and comment, like, and follow. In fact, it became part of my daily routine to find a few new blogs every day.
The feedback has been surprisingly rewarding. Almost every blogger replies to comments, and many of them even visit my page and leave their own! Slowly I began to realize that blogging is so much more than just posting every couple days. It’s about community; it’s about sharing with others and building each other up through friendly dialogue and supportive interactions.
Before I move on to the fun stuff, I’d just like to say thank you to all the bloggers and readers who have visited my site. I know how valuable your time is, and am humbled that you found my site worthy of it. I look forward to connecting with all of you in the future, and adding more value to your time here.

Thank you, George!!!
You are AWESOME!
I really enjoyed reading your 7 facts (About You). I too share your acknowledgement of the ‘Big Guy’ receiving the glory for anything good in me or my blog, I also share your dream to educate youth on personal development, (with Faith based principles I’m guessing?? Probably without the deterrent of religiosity perhaps??) Then we are indeed cut from the same cloth..
I like your blog, Thanks so much for reading mine, going to the trouble to comment and for following, What a lovely compliment and encouragement that is. Blessing to you my new Blog friend.
Thank you for the comment! I did thoroughly enjoy your blog, and will certainly return to keep up with your posts. As far as my future plans are concerned, I do intend to incorporate faith in education/speaking but have not yet figured out exactly how I want to approach it. I’m sure that’ll be revealed in time, for now I’ll just keep developing my thoughts and message. Talk to you soon, glad we connected
