Follow THAT Blog!!

I love it when I have new blog follower...Today, I logged in and saw that Jenna from So Cal was a new follower of my blog :) "Thanks Jenna!" And so was Belinda Robinson!

I just want to give Belinda an encouraging word to "just do it!" Start the first post (well, I guess it would be your 2nd post...LOL..!!) There is so much to blog about...you can do it!!

I also clicked on Jenna's blog and fell in love with her layout and postings. I immediately wanted to know 'who did her blog layout' and checked out ShabbyBlogs.com. Shabby Blogs has the cutest saying on their blog...Your home may be where your story begins, but your blog is where your story is told. Love it!!

In doing so, I realized that it's January and I still had a "Merry Christmas" background! Time for a change...ShabbyBlogs here I come!

Nie Nie Dialogues

(In honor of the Nielson Family…

picture borrowed from NieNie Dialogues Blog site.)

When I joined the blogger world, and as I read many funny, inspiring, and touching blogs, I came across one that had a post about the Nie Nie Dialogues Blog, and the story of a husband and wife who were critically injured in a private plane crash this past August. Touched by their story, and interested to read more, I clicked on the link. My heart broke as I read about their tragedy... I realize how blessed I am to have my husband and children!! "We must be thankful for today and the ones that we love, for tomorrow it can all be gone!"

Nie Nie had been blogging for a few years and as not to miss anything I started reading her blog from the beginning. WOW! What insperation and passion comes from her postings and pictures!! I have been touched...I've realized, why worry about the little things that do not matter! I started to see with different eyes...if that makes any sense! It has inspired me to be a better mommy to my children and the best wife to my husband. I am blessed!!

If you would like to read their story and updates on their recovery, I have added a button to my blog "I readNie Nie."

May the Lord bless and keep this family!!
