Speaking of Moxie… These folks have it!

MOXIE – The ability to face difficulty with spirit and courage; vigor; verve; pep.

Welcome to the Saturday Blog Party! This week’s topic is Moxie . This means we are looking for everything and anything on the topic! Tips and  tools for encouraging moxie,  times you personally showed some moxie or witnessed it, or times when you failed… old favorites or one of the latest posts, literally Everything and Anything on the topic are all welcome.

You are also welcome to use a post that you shared as part of our “Who is the Moxiest Person Alive” contest if the post itself speaks well of moxie.

I’m going to start things off bydirecting you to three posts I think speak beautifully on this topic.

Check them out and add your own finds in the linky below. Remember NEW and OLD posts by you and others are welcome, just tell us when you are sharing someone else’s work!

• Me and My Moxie – This is a post I asked the lovely Mrs.4444 of Half Past Kissin’ Time to write for the old blog (but I went on hiatus before I was able to post it so I told her to go ahead on her own blog). Her entire blog is full of Moxie but this tells you how she got started. Grit and courage abound!
• Got Moxie? This one comes from The Guy’s Perspective with a comedic look at what it takes to have enough Moxie to carry a “man bag.”  Very funny.
• 11-year-old Uses her Leader Moxie to Benefit Project Mobility– Some great moxie and life lessons from an 11 year old. As one reader says ” Pretty cool what today’s kids can do if they put their mind to it. When I see something like this I worry a little less about the future.”

Also, If you haven’t read it yet, I highly recommend “It Takes Moxie” by our terrific guest blogger post by Marianne Irvine of Grandeurvision who shares her story of mama moxie!

Here are the ground rules for this party:

1. Share NEW and OLD posts on the topic. This is your chance to share your favorite posts. If they fit the topic and you think we could benefit it doesn’t matter when you wrote it. Wisdom is timeless!
2. Share your’s and other’s posts! Ran across a timely tidbit? Let us hear about it too! When sharing someone else’s posts please designate this by putting an *asterisk before the listing and please say submitted by using your name or blog name.
3. Leave a comment after posting letting us know why you think the post is worth our time. We are building a knowledge library and your context makes it all the more valuable!
4. Have Fun! I hope to make this party a fun and valuable addition to your weekend blog hopping.

Note: This link up list will stay active until NEXT Gratitude Week (September 5th start!) so feel free to add items ANY time until then. I will likely pick a guest feature from the collection so PLEASE don’t be shy about adding your best posts! If you don’t have a blog to share, photos, ETSY collections and essays are most welcome. Let me know if you need help linking them up!

I look forward to visiting all the treasures YOU add to the collection!
Outrageous Joy,
Kathy

P.S. Next week we will be “Speaking of Humility” and looking for posts and places that will foster this Bliss Habit!

HUMILITY – The quality or condition of being humble; imitate Jesus and Socrates.
