Today’s blog hop is a shout out to my bloggy friend Mrs. 4444 from Half Past Kissin’ Time. You see Barb came up with the genius idea of sharing our favorite posts with each other and started a fun little thing called Saturday Sampling in which she asked folks to share their favorite posts of the week. It was a great way for folks to share their best finds of the week and a way for good blog posts to get a second chance. Due to time constraints in her very busy life, Barb has suspended her weekly hop but have no fear, this week Bliss Habits is stepping in to give you the chance to share your best posts, favorite finds of the week… really ANYTHING!
As you might know, I usually keep my weekly hops on a topical note but this week I am interested in anything that strikes your fancy! I am going to start things off with three posts that caught my eye plus an old time favorite of my own. You are welcome to do the same. Any post you think is worthy of review should be added to this hop. It is my hope we all find a few new blog friends and possibly enjoy a little known treat from some of our favorites!
Here are the ground rules for this party:
- Share NEW and OLD posts ANY topic. This is your chance to share your favorite posts. New finds, really ANYTHING that strikes your fancy!
- Share your’s and other’s posts! Ran across a timely tidbit? Let us hear about it too!
- Leave a comment after posting letting us know why you think the post is worth our time your context makes it all the more valuable!
- Have Fun!
Note: This link up list will stay active so feel free to add items ANY time. 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!
Alrighty then, let’s get this party started! Here are my fabulous finds for the week:
- Kind Kindred – OK so this isn’t really a “find for the week” as it is more of a “I go here any time I want a little inspiration” type of place. Amanda of the fabulous Kind over Matter has gathered a cornucopia of people and asked them to write about kindness. Go here and pick one or two anytime you want a little inspiration.
- Pop That Bubble – If you were over on our Facebook Page yesterday, you may have already seen this post, which I think pairs perfectly with my latest post about Twitter and triberr. In this post Mary Parlange of the blog Gydle (rhymes with tweedle!) beautifully explains everything I worry about with regard to social networking. This is scary and so worth your time!
- 25 Breaks to Energize you – The Terrific Sandi Amorim of Deva Coaching has been focusing on self care this month. In this article she shares “The Art of the Mini Break” and offers up 25 things you can do, some in 5 minutes or less, to get energized! Really, you owe it to yourself to have these strategies ever at the ready!
- Anticipating Gratitude – This week my Twitter friend Alejandro Reyes (you will meet him during the upcoming Joy week!) of Enso Journey asked me to share “an old favorite” blog post of mine. I hadn’t thought about this one in a while but I think it is as applicable today as the day I wrote it. I hope you enjoy it!
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 Joy” and looking for posts and places that will foster this Bliss Habit!
JOY – A source or cause of keen pleasure or delight; something exceptionally festive or satisfying.
this is great news and a great way to interact with others, thanks for the opportunity. Here is a post I think everyone should read:
