The View From Here: My Favorite Part of Blogging

The View from HereThis week’s question is: What Is Your Favorite Part of Blogging?

For me, the answer is two-fold: I love writing and I love the connections and friendships I’ve made!

I have a writing background, but after teaching and then having children, it got lost in the background.  I’m not especially creative or crafty, so rediscovering writing through blogging has been sort of a dream come true for me.  I love crafting my posts and sharing the things I love with others, and I’m thankful that I’ve made some wonderful friends through blogging.  Directly because of this, I attended Alt Summit in January, met a few local bloggers who I’m fortunate to call my friends and neighbors, I participate in Blog Trends, Shayla and I collaborate each week, and I even hosted a blogger/creative meetup recently.

This time last year, I was a little bored and a little lonely, and now I’m way too busy, which is not a bad problem to have.  Writing a blog has pushed me out of my comfort zone in many ways, and I find myself taking more risks (good ones) and trying new things on my own more frequently.  I always feel a bit cheesy admitting that blogging changed my life for the better; but I guess, in many ways, it really did.

I’m grateful for my own small place to share my thoughts, and I’m blessed to know many wonderful bloggers because of it.

So, what is your favorite part about blogging?  I’d love to hear!  And please visit Shayla’s blog to see how she answered today’s question.
