Participants in the
2014 Blogging from A-to-Z Challenge are like that box of chocolates that Tom
Hanks referred to in the comedy “Forrest Gump.” You never know what you’re
going to get when reading any one of them on this year’s sign-up list.
That is
one of the reasons why the Road Trip encourages bloggers who did the April challenge
to continue visiting new blogs that may have been overlooked several months ago.
So in the spirit of giving this season, let’s give our fellow bloggers some new
readers and some more blog comments. If you need a guide on where to start as you get back into the swing of things,
here is the latest activity happening in our A-to-Z community.
A well-travelled,
South African bred drug and alcohol counselor who lives in Australia has organized
two plans for nourishing the soul in 2015, at QueasyPeasy. Her first plan of
activities centered on eating well and getting organized include pink bubbles
and a hammock. The backup plan allows you to recharge with naked handstands and
selfies…you know…for those days when completing all of your New Year’s
resolutions gets to be too much to handle. Peter Heppo at Sleepless in Singapore gives some lessons in English dialect while recounting his
battle through a Christmassy tourist destination where his friends were sharing
beers and receiving Easter Eggs from young girls dressed as holiday elves. Speaking
of the holidays, Eve Gaal at Intangible Hearts sucks readers into a poem that
toasts to real friendships that need no explanation.
Nerd in the Brain is
practicing an exercise in gratitude by sharing things that induce smiles. The pride
of passing down crocheting skills to the next generation, handmade postcards
and yarn displays at the library are among these things. Who knows what
happened to the blog Three Foolish Fisherman after its author shaved off her
hair for MS Society Cymru? Since ALL of her blog posts from this year’s A-to-Z
Challenge are also still up, they’re worth a read by any of you who missed them
back in April. Owning “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “The X-Files” clearly make
her worth visiting, even if it’s for the archives!
What topics have YOU come across
on the new blogs you visited this week?
