I have blogged for 2 years.I am a blogging baby.Just like babies learn from their parents ,their caregivers ,I too learn from my blogging parents .
Sounds funny,right ?
But think about it for a moment.
When did you first start reading blogs?
Which blogs made you happy ?
Which blogs inspired you to blog?
Along the years you must be having scores of wonderful blogs which you love reading .
What made those blogs different from the thousand others?
For me it’s about the human connect .
The person behind the blog .
The values they radiate.
The quality they portray .
The standards they keep up.
I read many blogs .Some preach ,some teach by doing.
When I started blogging I was clueless .I just wanted to make health information freely available to as many people as I could.
Maybe that way preventing lifestyle diseases would be a bit easier.
Writing about health and disease is natural for me .Housekeeping was not.
That’s where my first favourite blog saved me.
Blog number 1
Melissa’s book ” Love the Home you have ” and her blog theinspiredroom.netwere lifesavers.
If you are as housekeepingly challenged as I am you will understand why ,when you read the book.
Your home life is a work in progress like yourself.
For different phases in life it will be in various states of beauty .
Trying to embrace that ,helped me stop being hard on myself .Even when ,the pile of laundry that needed folding grew taller than my 6ft hubby.
It’s a home decor organisation blog .But I love looking at the pretty pictures .
The small ways you can make your home look welcoming.
Blog number 2
Amylynnandrews.com
I tend to go on about these people.
Yes I know.It’s almost like I am paid for all the shout outs.
Honestly the only time we had a personal connect when she replied back to my email and gifted me her Knowtbook.
She told me she had seen the poverty in Africa and understood that everywhere people may not have the same resources.
This was when she herself was battling several issues on a personal front.
We all have challenges ,but it takes a special type of strength to help others even when your own battles are sucking you dry.
That is why on this #ThankfulThursday I wanted to thank Amy .Probably she will never read this post.But that’s okay .
What’s important that I remember to thank.
She truly showed me why blogging is special.
Why the world-wide web is precious.
Why we should thank God every moment of everyday ,for giving us our challenges .
Because he gives us those problems which we can handle .
A man is known by his battle scars .
I will never forget the kindness shown to a new unknown blogger.
The only way to say thank you , is to take it forward.
Blog number 3
Pat Flynn and SPI or smartpassiveincome
SPI is the mompreneurs dream.
There’s a lot of nonsense on the Internet about quick and easy way to earn money.
Don’t believe any of it.
If there was a quick and easy way ,then poverty would be a forgotten word.
In one word ,”beware of scams.”
That’s where SPI came into my life.
My dream:
Talk to people about lifestyle healthcare and emotional wellbeing (for free ) and the money magically trickles into the bank)
Reality:
Doesn’t happen that way.
First part is fine.
Problem:people rarely listen to free advice.
In fact people hardly ever listen to paid advice.
So what are the odds they will listen to free advice?
Zero or even less.
2nd part:
The brainstorming is real. That’s my mompreneurs blogging journey.
My journey to financial freedom being a mompreneur .
Pat Flynn doesn’t sell,get rich quick schemes .He outlines step by step path to making this passive income dream true.
If I didn’t read his, blog I would be clueless too.
He also gifted this SPI PRO theme theme to me????.

I actually love this concept here! I have a lot of blogs that have offered me quite a bit of inspiration lately and I think I should share that with my readers because they may find value from those blogs as well. Great idea!

We all have our favourites. Places to go for encouragement and inspiration. It’s great that you have found yours. Thank you for sharing them.
I hadn’t heard of any of these blogs before, so it’s nice to discover some new ones to follow.
I love all three of your entries. Plus, what you said about never forgetting kindness to new blogger is so true. Hard to forget such people!
It is so nice to be thankful to the fellow bloggers and blogging sites. We all learn from each other and grow together. This is the best thing about a blogging community. I find it difficult to name any one site as for me as I feel there are more than 3 blogs which helped me grow as a blogger.
