When I read blogs, it’s like traveling from world to world to world to world…The pretty change in themes, the shift of colors, the variety of writing voices…they make me lose myself in the beautiful thoughts of others. I don’t follow a lot of blogs because I want to make sure that I have the time and the heart to really read and drink in the insights that each blog truly deserves.
We choose which blogs to read and follow. We choose which to unfollow. To me, that, in itself is a powerful opportunity. But when you go about the net, clicking, exploring, discovering, we find out that there are so many wonderful blogs offering much about life. And when we know what we want and what we need, we know exactly which blogs to read.
I have found a good variety of blogs that I happily read every day. And these are the reasons that I read them.
To travel the world! A Lady in London allows me to do this.
To be refreshed…mentally, physically, spiritually. I want to read about nature, beautiful things, pretty scenery that pass me by. This blog never fails to fill my day with colors. Garden Walk, Garden Talk brings me beautiful posts to read and even just look at…
To laugh and learn and have a good time. Hillary…she brings me cheer in every post. It’s like talking animatedly with a girlfriend over coffee and cake! Meet the Nomad Grad.
To hang out and chill. You know the feeling of just hanging out with a pal, without hassles where simply being yourself is not a problem. I can do just that at The Sophomore Slump.
To find calmness that I may be calm myself. I have concluded, the writer of this blog has a beautiful way with words. It is a gift. And I am happy to celebrate this gift by reading her words. Her writing voice calms me, soothes me, inspires me. It’s The Teacup Chronicles.
To think. To stimulate my mind and provoke positive thoughts that would hopefully leap into action. Seth Godin is so capable of this.
To be reminded to live simply. Practical tips on how to live life. I get it from The Minimalist Living.
So there. These are a handful of blogs I treasure. And there are some more that I just recently discovered. And I’m sure to stumble upon other revelations.
*PS…This post was inspired by Garden Walk, Garden Talk’s beautiful post on blogging .

Thank you for noting my blog. It is such a nice thing you are doing sharing the work of others. I am familiar with Seth’s blog. I can’t remember how I came across it though.

a lot of wonderful blogs out there but to find something that fits your need and suits your style is an altogether different story…this is why I cherish those that I feel I can connect to. Thank you for reading!

I have emailed Seth back in 2010. I must say that he is really approachable.

), I make sure that I really make it an effort to visit as often as they do to mine. And, I read their post thoroughly than others.
I’ll see to it that I explore the other blogs here.
I do have a large audience, and I do follow a good amount of bloggers. I really need to clean up. Yes, I’m talking about unfollowing blogs. I have to be honest. Most of the blogs I follow, I don’t physical following them. But when I do present-ly follow a blog, (I hope I did a sufficient job following yours, I believe I did
I encourage you to keep blogging the way you do. It is quite a mess on how I manage mine.
Again, a big fat thank you.

i loved how you presented your blogs that inspire you, GL.
question: did you copy and paste the individual blog page? just curious. it is a great visual idea rather than having just the titles to click on.
~oh, btw, i came here via the great sophomore slump’s #200.
happy to meet you!
