Thanks For Blogger Recognition Award Nomination

I am grateful and surprised to be nominated by His Perfect Timing (https://hisperfecttiming.blog/) for the blogger recognition award. His Perfect Timing is one of the first blogs that exemplified for me a mix between sharing personal stories and a testimony of one’s faith lived out into the word.

2. Write a post to show your award.
3. Give a brief story of how your blog started blogging.
4. Give two pieces of advice to new bloggers.
5. Select 15 other bloggers you want to give this award to.  Comment on each blog and let them know you have nominated them and provide the link to the post you created.

My Story

I think my gateway online forum to blogging started with the days of live journal, I used to post about my days. For those of you too young for Friendster and Livejournal, they were social forums before Facebook.  I blogged before, but I got on WordPress this past year and started to share some of my art, poetry and thoughts.  Letters To A Young Spiritual Seeker, the letters, are written as if I am writing to my younger self or someone who was lost but seeking like me.  I don’t know if I have much wisdom to offer, but I do have a wealth of experience of all the dead ends I’ve run into in the spiritual life.

 

Advice

1. Write from your heart, and share honestly from your experience.
2. Have fun writing, and approach feedback and blog interactions with an open mind.
