THANK YOU to everyone that linked up last week for Blogger Love! I loved reading all of your posts and found a few new blogs to follow from your great suggestions. I hope you all found some new bloggers as well. Is it just me, or were there a number of great posts this week? I could definitely post more than five. Something must have been in the water.
"When Life Doesn't Feel Right" by Seriously, Sarah? While reading this post about Sarah's struggle with Cervical Dystonia, I could feel her emotion through my computer screen. It was a tough read because of that, but I have so much respect for her to put her feelings out there for everyone to experience.
"Don't Try So Hard" by The Florkens. I'm pretty sure that this post will make it on to some other lists, as it should be. The Florkens are hosting a one-time link up with others for all of us to show ourselves without our hair or makeup done, but all natural. It's an amazing idea, and I want to participate... just need to convince myself to go for it!
"You are More than a Number" by Love the Here and Now. Ok, so I know that I feature Anne most weeks - but she seriously gets me. This post was written for me, I swear. I was just feeling down because I was having a "feel bad for myself" day. Tight clothes = check. Hungry because I'm trying to "diet" = check. All because of the moment I had stepped on the scale earlier that day. Anne reminded me that its not what that number says, but how we feel. Thank you Anne!
"Summer Camp" by The Taily Day. Oh how I related to this post. I went to summer camp every summer, until the year my parents sent me to a three week long camp. It basically scarred me for life - maybe a story for another day - but I loved remembering some of those moments via Taylor's post. Plus, she was in Iowa - lots of love for Iowa of course!
"The One Thing: A Sister's Love" written by Katie, featured on Ember Grey. I was blown away at the writing skills of Katie at just 16, as she lay awake in her sister's hospital room. I had never read her blog before, but that short exerpt from her teenage diary hooked me instantly. Seriously, go read it.
