Trekking through a New Frontier


It is now officially 3 months old, this blog of mine.

When I started blogging it was more as my personal journal. I always have more questions than answers. Since I joined the blogging community I have been amazed and continue to be amazed as I go blog trekking. I am discovering a world of interesting people all over the globe on all kinds of interesting subjects. Mostly, that I am not alone on some of the issues I face, and your words help in many ways. We do make connections.
I blog and I follow,  I comment where I need to say something or I don't (so much to read). I have varied interests and am pulled into most subjects especially on the self (journals), on human nature, mothers and kids however it is expressed, be it in pictures, words, music or poetry. The work of so many minds is truly amazing. When I get to new sites, I explore not just the blog but the followers too (such a busybody!).

I've come across different blogger writer types
1) the ones who write for pure revenue interest
2) the ones who write very personal stories
3) the ones who write for the love Of God
4) the ones who write because life is full of interesting questions and experiences to share(good and bad)
Wow and some of you have multiple blogs too, I envy that energy.
5) the ones who write on business subjects
and then you have different follower types(not necessarily signed up)
6) write and read other blogs
7) don't write but read blogs
8) Loyal
9) Hoppers

The lone ranger:
10) write but don't read any other blogs

The blog world makes for wonderful human interest exploration and we certainly can learn from each other and learn new things along the way. Thank you for the kind awards that some of you have shared. Many of the blogs are beautifully designed and decorated, but more importantly is what they have to say. (I'll have to fiddle with mine soon).

This award is for all you wonderful people who have joined me along the way at some point or other,  with your thoughts and comments and to all who follow:  awardGaia, Arise to Write, Farila,
Mom of Three, Always a Mom,
Charmaine, Janice, Julieanne, Echoes , Political Blog,  Kathleen, Blushing Rose, Creative Liquid, TheConformalBlog, Blest Atheist, Magdalena,  Moon Loh, AphroditeOrania, Tammy, SheGurl, Spiller, Aperdue7..
(if I 've  left anyone out my sincere apologies).
And thank you.

  1. Thanks BM for the award, I must say I tend to fall under the category 4,6 and 8. I make it a point to be there for those whom I follow and as a vote of my appreciation to my followers, I read their blogs too. You have been one of my loyal followers, bless you for your thoughts and comments. Bless you and the kids

  5. Hi BM,
    Thank you for dedicating a post and award to your followers. I enjoyed reading the entry. I too am a combination of your examples on your list. And I thank you for your recent comment on my post about the holidays shopping frenzy. Yes I did a B_I_G makeover of my site for one big reason...sad to say, I have not seen many of my followers visiting recently and thought maybe my site was not interesting enough(apart from the writing). I truly am grateful for the few loyal followers that I still have like yourself. So THANK YOU again and GOD BLESS!

    Dear Dear Friend, I can't tell you how overwhelming this is for me...that some truly acknowledges your presence and some1 truly has a listening ear...most of us bloggers are affected by Attention deficiency syndrome... in various walks of life...be it spouse,children, friends, families or the other relationships we have created living in this world...waiting for a release...waiting for someone to hear us out and ease the pain...waiting n waiting..n waiting...with no repose... coz bottled up anguish suffocates d inner human being... so I think I em lucky to have found u... come to think of it...this is a wonderful medium for most of us, who sail on the same boat to unveil, vent, confide, find solace and feel wanted and heard... thank you my friend for being my companion on this journey... and so too for all the rest of em I am yet to discover..God bless em all...peace and love....Aphrodite

You can't miss it if you didn't have it to begin with.

When I was growing up, hand-me-downs were common. And I don't mean from an older sister or cousin. I mean literally second hand clothes ...
