Today's
it's time for another blogfest. I'm glad, because I can't seem to
get myself in gear unless there's a party...
We
are to talk about bloggers we miss, and then also bloggers we WOULD
miss if they disappeared. Our community is a growing and changing
one, I myself have been disappearing lately...damn depression.
I
MISS YOU DEARLY
Jane
of Aging Mommy
Jane became a mom after 40, quit a
lucrative career, and stayed home to raise her adorable daughter,
Mirabelle. Jane was funny, honest, hopeful, encouraging, not afraid
to share her insecurities or failures, and was a wonderful buddy. I
have a folder full of our email correspondence.
Then she did the
sensible thing and quit blogging so that she could spend more time
raising that wonderful miracle than WRITING about raising her. I
admire that. But I miss my friend. Jane – I hope all is well with
you and your family.
I can't link you because she's
really and truly gone.
Polly
of 5th Sister
You can still visit her blog, she
hasn't shut it down, but she hasn't posted at 5th Sister since May. I miss her so much. Polly is an amazing writer and poet,
and incredibly talented at haiku, stringing together multiple small
poems into one, cohesive, blow-you-away wallop of a write.
I loved her Monday Musings that
gave us some insight into her daily life, and I loved her willingness
to share her faith openly, even in the midst of great struggle.
Polly – please come back! You have lots of fans waiting for you!
Big hugs.
DAMN
I'D MISS YOU IF YOU LEFT
Brian
Miller of WaystationOne
Brian has been my supporter and friend
since I first started blogging. I don't think there's a post of mine
he hasn't commented on, and it's usually a race to see if he'll get
there before Alex...
I appreciate Brian not just for
that, though. He's a supporter of so many bloggers of all levels and
styles- there are few places I visit where he hasn't gone before me
with his upbeat comments and his trademark “smiles”. He has an
amazing heart and counsels troubled kids, loves his family and and is
willing to share about them, and his talent is incomparable. How he
manages to get a piece up every single day with all that he does
amazes me. Don't ever stop being you, dear friend!
The other bloggers I'd sorely miss
are my A-Z Team. They have helped me survive what has probably been the hardest year of my life. They pick up the slack, they encourage
me, and keep me going. Since we're limited to three in each
category, I'm sending you to the A-Z Blog where you'll find them all
in the sidebar. Of course, there over there in my sidebar, too. Just
wanted you to visit our headquarters....
This blogfest is brought to you by these wonderful folks:
Andrew of Strange Pegs
Matthew of The QQQE
Alex, the Ninja Captain himself, of Alex J. Cavanaugh
Don't forget to visit them, too!
