The wonderful, the not so good, and the unknown
Then, the unknown: my father found this blog. This is not a shocking development, since there is at least one link out there with my full name that points to writing to survive. What does it mean? I don’t know. I hope it means an open line of communication. And that’s all I’ll be saying about it here. Some things are meant to be – yes – private.
Finally, happily, the wonderful: two fine bloggers gave awards to writing to survive in the past week.
John of Storied Mind
passed along
the Brilliant Blog Award, which is quite
an honor from someone who I think has a
brilliant blog! The premise behind Storied
Mind is that writing and creating stories
about one’s experience with depression can
help break through its deadening
effects. Storied Mind
also aims to
create a community, a place where people
can gather and discuss their experiences
with depression. All of this is
beautifully done, with thought-provoking
posts that dive deep into the experience
of mood-related disorders and what may
work to reach clarity. Thank you, John. I
am truly honored.
Kimmy of
The Eagle The Lion and The
Dove passed another award my
way, the I Love Your Blog award. Kimmy’s
blog is all about focusing on the light in
darkness, seeking the beauty in the world
and ourselves, knowing that none of us is
perfect. It’s a great dose of daily
inspiration. Thank you, Kimmy – I’m so
happy we found each other via Entrecard!
As a way to share the love and highlight some
outstanding blogs that are part of my daily
reading, I am planning to have monthly
reviews, with a feature on my sidebar linking
to the Blog of the Month. Stay tuned for the
October selection.
