K for Karma #AtoZChallenge 2025

Karma is the belief that actions you choose to do will eventually return to you. It isn't a guarantee, of course, but our research proves that blog hop participants who visit and comment on the blogs of others in the hop receive far more comments and engagement. Kind words of encouragement keep our community strong. We value one another here at A to Z. Check out the Master List, find a blog you haven't been to before, and give kudos to the participant. 

Consider giving a shout-out to fellow A to Z bloggers with whom you've created a kinship.

J is for Joy #AtoZChallenge2025

J is for Joy

Joy: "the emotion evoked by well-being, success, or good fortune or by the prospect of possessing what one desires" ~ Merriam Webster

Some things that have brought me joy recently:

• My cat.
• My two-story bookshelf.
• Having great friends and family (especially my husband).
• Joining this blog-hop so many years ago.
• Finding new blogs!

What is the last thing that brought you joy?

Inspiration #AtoZChallenge2025

Our team theme this year is our blogging community, gratitude, or being grateful for our blogging community.

One of the best things you can get from a strong, active blogging community is inspiration. Seeing what others are doing, what they are passionate about, how they are growing their reach, can be inspiring in and of itself. And sometimes we also get help and encouragement in the comments when we visit each other!

Today, give a shout out to someone who inspired you in A to Z, maybe in unexpected ways!

H For Harmony #AtoZChallenge2025

An interesting thing happens during a blog hop such as this one: a sense of harmony and peace manifests itself over the community. No matter what someone else is writing, we tend to pay attention to it, because that's what we do: we read and comment on blogs. When we finish, we think of how great it was to have seen so many people that we only seem to run across during the challenge.

This year, how about resolving to stay in touch with those bloggers during the year, from May to next March, and keep that harmony going? A good way to do that is to participate in the A to Z Road Trip that starts in May and finishes, well, whenever. The point is, this is a good time to meet new people and learn some new things. Make a friend! That's what makes the A to Z community so harmonious.

Gratitude #AtoZChallenge2025

Our team theme this year is our blogging community, gratitude, or being grateful for our blogging community.

In a world filled with unspeakable things, horrors you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy, unimaginable deeds, and random acts of rudeness, it is sometimes difficult to feel grateful for anything. Some days it feels like an act of heroism just to get out of bed.

Keeping a gratitude journal, or just taking a moment to be grateful for that beautiful sunrise, is the way to keep sane. Worrying about the actions of others won’t change anything – except deteriorate our mental health. Being grateful for what we have, the people we have in our lives, can make a world of difference for our wellbeing.

So stop doomscrolling and start thanking the people who make your life brighter.

What are you grateful for today?

F for Family #AToZChallenge2025

Being a blogger is a lot like being the member of a family. There are certain members you see all the time, some that you see only on special occasions (e.g. the A to Z Challenge), and some you rarely see (if ever). There are some you love, some you like, some are mere acquaintances, and some you try to avoid. And there are a lot of members of the family that you don't know yet.

Make this the year that go visit some of the blogs that you only see on special occasions. Most of them are pretty active even when they're not walking through the alphabet. Go see what they write the rest of the year. Who knows? You might find your next blog buddy.

Challenge yourself: look for people on the list whose blogs you have never seen. Look for a few who just started blogging. They could really use you friendship and support. They're members of your family, too.

Happy blogging, and have a great day!

Dreams #AtoZChallenge2025

Our team theme this year is our blogging community, gratitude, or being grateful for our blogging community.

Do you have dreams that you would like to make a reality? Or do you have dreams that you are already pursuing? Has blogging help you achieve them, or share them with the world? 

Every year, many people participate in the A to Z Challenge to share things they are passionate about. Whether it is writing, or books, or travel, or food, or guinea pigs, we like to share our passions, our hopes, our dreams, our journeys. And it is always inspiring to see others who are doing the same. Every year, every challenge (not just A to Z!) is a new opportunity.

What are your dreams? How can this blogging community help you pursue them?

Tell us!
