Blog Inspiration

Thursday, May 17, 2012

Much like most of you bloggers, I too have my favorite blogs to read. You know those blogs you love so much you get excited everyday to sit and read. You feel connected to the writer and their family and/or fashion. They become inspiring and uplifting. I have a few on my favorites list and feel blessed to have been able to meet some of them. One has become a best friend. Last year at an event I came so close to meeting a favorite...but my nerves got the best of me and I never went up and said Hi! What a nerd!! But, now our blogging and social media paths have crossed. I am so over joyed to have spoken with Ashley, and I can' t even begin to explain how excited I am to be on her blog! She asked me to share a recipe with her readers!{insert happy dance here} and it has now been pinned 1,000 times. Holy WOW.

Although this may not seem like a big deal to some {especially non-bloggers}, it is to me! I am not sharing this teeny story with you to gloat...I am sharing it because there have been numerous times when I feel like this blogging gig feels overwhelming. Sometimes I feel like no one cares, no one reads. When you start blogging your heart and your ideas you become vulnerable and it can be scary. You develop goals and read other bigger blogs for inspiration as mentioned above. We have all been there. I am here to say that there are people that care and that read your words. If you keep sharing and growing you will achieve something great. If you put your heart out there, you will begin to make connects that could last a lifetime. I think this serves as motivation to keep working towards what you want.

Take a look back and reflect...What have been some blogging triumphs!?

I want to give Ashley a HUGE 'Thank You' for having me as a guest on her beautiful blog and her continued inspiration to be great!

  4. It was the perfect recipe for her blog. As a 7 1/2 month pregnant future-mama and lover of all things baking/dessert (your perfect target audience), your glazed scones called out my name and said to me, "Al, you have all but two ingredients already in your pantry. AND your mother in law is coming next week. Pin these mofos and get ready to bake/eat them!" So I did and I will. Probably on Tuesday. And I will love them. Just like I love LMM's blog and now your blog, too! Thanks, lady!

    2. Jacqui- your scones were FAB!! I made them this weekend, and the in-laws were raving about how light and flavorful they were. The leftovers made the perfect "get-away" snack - for the times I needed to get away from them and take a minute to myself...stuffing my face...with scones. Thanks for an awesome recipe! I will add it to my arsenal. (PS- I'll be posting about them on my blog in a few weeks, for my "from pin to project" series. I'll make sure to link back to you!)

  6. I was so excited when you reached out and wanted to meet. You were the first blogger I'd ever had the chance to talk to in real life and although I was super nervous; I felt so happy afterward. But lately I've been sad that we haven't been able to connect again. I'm so happy for you with all of your successes and maybe our paths will cross again someday.
    Also happy you got to know Ashley. She's amazing and really the kindest soul.

      Thank you for your constant kindness and comments.
