Do you have a post or a list of great blog posts you'd like to share? Have one of you own that you'd like to feature?
It's time for Best of the Blogosphere, The September 2011 Edition.
There is so much great content out there, and since there's also a LOT of content out there it's sometimes easy to miss the really stellar posts. Every day we bloggers give pieces of ourselves to the blogosphere. This feature is my way of showing my appreciation for the efforts of other bloggers. Won't you join me?
If you've been keeping track of your favourite posts from the month, why not write a list as I have to share with your readers, and link it up. Maybe there's one particular post that stood out for you that you'd like to link up. And if you're really proud of a particular post you wrote this month, link it up!
Please grab and display my button anywhere in your post. Follow me if you like (no pressure). More importantly, please visit others who have linked up, and leave me a comment to let me know what you think of this link up!
GRAB THE CODE!
Jody of Blended made me laugh with her post "An Interview with Bill After a Day Alone with All Six Kids". Thanks Jody. I needed that!
When Robin of Farewell Stranger spoke about returning to work and bedtime routine troubles in Back to Life, Back to Reality I felt her pain.
Kristen of A Little Something for Me reminded me of how much we all take for granted with Letter to the Mothers who live my deepest fear and then amazed me with her spirit when I read "In my New Normal".
This very short post from Shouts From the Abyss made me laugh and nod in agreement: How Twitter Really Works.
This month many of us wrote posts about the need to reevaluate our blogging efforts as we looked at what's most important to each of us. This post from Lost and Forgotten sums up that struggle very well: You Probably Won't Read This.
This post from Staying Afloat was one we could all relate to: A Number I am Not.
Check out this post from My Dishwasher's Possessed. Lessons Learned from my Dishwasher has some real pearls of wisdom for everyday living and a generous dose of humour.
Deborah Bryan helped me to remember that I have SO much to be thankful for and SO little to complain about (thanks Deb): No arms, no legs, no worries.
Finally, the post that I am most proud of writing this month is this one: The Inevitability of Change and the Futility of Resistance. I have been very much enjoying participating in Stasha's Monday Listicles meme. The list ideas have inspired some interesting posts, and this is one I enjoyed writing very much.
What a great idea...you're full of 'em! Looking forward to your new feature!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Thank you so very much for the mention. I will have to start putting my favorites together and link up! Oh, how to choose...how to choose?
ReplyDeleteLove this idea! There's a few on here I'm not reading I'll have to check these blogs out!
ReplyDeleteThanks for mentioning that post! This is a great idea for a blog hop. Will check the others out!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the mention, lady! I would actually have linked that entry had you not linked it, so this gives me an opportunity to post another favorite.
ReplyDeleteEvery month I think, "Ugh, there's no way I'm going to write anything half as good as what I wrote last month!" So far I keep proving myself wrong. I hope this streak keeps up!
I look forward to checking out the other links after the little one's gone to bed tonight. ♥
Thank you so much for mentioning my post. I debated so much about publishing that one. I still have a hard time not getting caught up in all. It helps so much to know I make an impact even when sometimes it feels like I don't.
ReplyDeleteI like this! Will be back later tonight!!
ReplyDeleteAwww!!!Thanks so much! I'm ... seriously thrilled to make your list. You just made my night!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new linky! I must stop by one of these posts you've mentioned here. Thanks for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. How long with the linky be open? I'm going to have to think about this!
ReplyDeleteI read some of the blogs you had listed and they were great.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your feedback, ladies! Definitely do check out any of these posts you haven't already read, and don't forget to link up your own list of favourites and/or one of *your* favourite links from September.
ReplyDelete@Amanda, I'll leave the link open for about a week, I think to give everyone time to reflect on their favourites.
This is a great idea! You're right, there's so many awesome blogs out there, it's hard to visit them all. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea! I'm delighted to meet you - am now following - and invite you to join me at Create With Joy!

What a great curation of posts, Sue! Some of the best/better posts get buried in my reader! I'll be sure to visit and read them all (slowly hehe).
ReplyDeleteClever idea for a link-up!
Thanks Jen and Janie! :-) I know just what you mean. I try to get through all of the posts in my reader, but it's tough to keep up! That's part of why I want to see what others link up so that I can go back and visit any that I missed.
ReplyDeleteHi Ramona. Thanks for following! Checked out your blog and am now following you too.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Sue!! I linked up
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet idea. I can't wait to check out those blogs :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Leighann, and thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteThanks Elisabeth! I'm sure you'll find some new blogs to stalk... I mean follow... in this list! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. I enjoyed your post about things change. The word sleep makes me laugh too.
