Blog it Forward!

I was editing my blog recently so that the most recent posts of all the blogs I'm following would show just below their blog names. I was floored to find out that I'm following a whopping 412 blogs in blogger's blog list widget alone. These are all listed on my right side bar.

This may or may not include all the blogs I subscribe to via email, or the ones I have subscribe to in various readers. I figure between all the blog following sources I have signed up for, I'm keeping track of well over 1,500 blogs! WOWIE WOW WOW! Am I an addict or what?!?

My name is Angela, and I'm a Blogoholic!

So many people have commented on my posts, stating how inspirational my words were to them or how they really needed to hear what I had to say. After seeing how many people I am following, as well as those who follow me, it hit me! Why not create a place dedicated to all those who inspire others, as well as a place where those needing a bit of inspiration can go to find it?

I absolutely love reading about other peoples lives -- their experiences, their opinions, their trials, their victories! I simply cannot get enough! In my comments, I love to inspire those who seem to need a bit of hope in their lives, offering empathy and advice to those who seek it.

Does this make me a nosey busy body? Maybe so . . . I don't know.

What I do know, however, is that I have met some extremely inspirational people in the blogging realm, and I have met quite a few that I have inspired with my stories, as well. For this, I am thankful!

So, I will continue to seek out and follow blogs to which I can relate, or those bloggers who I feel I can inspire in one way or another. So many people have left their footprints in my heart, and have affected my life tremendously with their selfless acts of kindness.

Blogging is my way of making my mark, and making this world a better place. By sharing the trials I have overcome, my humor, my inspiring stories, and receiving positive feedback from my blogging friends, I realize that my mission is being carried out.
