Blogger Appreciation Day
Posted on Apr 14, 2008 under Heart, Soul and Mind |Darren Rowse from the immensely popular and successful marketing blog, ProBlogger, woke up this morning with three very appreciative e-mails in his mailbox, effectively making his day. This prompted him to declare today (14 April) an unofficial Blogger Appreciation Day.
The idea is to thank our fellow bloggers for their continued and valued influence in our lives and let them know how much they enrich us. You can do this via comments, e-mails or posting and linking back. I’ll do this mostly via commenting, because I read so many blogs and I love you all.
Your contribution to my life has been immense. I am inspired, challenged, amused, encouraged and made welcome by you every single day. You teach me about blogging, weight loss, nutrition, exercise, life, love, raw food, juice feasting, motivation, perseverance, growth, emotional freedom, motherhood, fashion, even enemas! You are my social life, my sounding board and my cheerleading squad.
I love, value and appreciate every single one of you! Thank you for taking an interest in my life and my journey, as well as sharing your own. Our journeys may differ vastly, but ultimately we’re working towards the same goal - giving birth to our authentic selves. It’s an honour to walk with you!
Expect me to drop in with random acts of appreciation today! Pay it forward!
The only thing I can fault Darren on is the fact that he didn’t design a badge or emblem while wiping the sleep from his eyes. I so love pictures, you know!

Thank you and I DO need to say that I feel the same way about you. You are undergoing such an immense life change that sometimes I find it hard to grasp (probably because I don’t know if I could commit to it myself!) You are strong and so positive.
What a wonderful idea and I’ll mark April 14 on my calendar. Maybe that can be a project for you–creating a bit of blog bling for us to share? Have an AWESOME week.

What a great idea! And if all the “lurkers” out there came forward just one day to say hi -it would certainly be the icing on the cake don’t you think? I truly enjoy your posts and the glimpses of your life you share! I can not imagine life where you are and I’ll be praying that you guys find a smooth way out and in a timely fashion. You made me thankful for my own life today (and I was grumping earlier today!)

Hanlie,
You’re awesome! You’re one of the sweetest, kindest, most wonderful people I’ve ever ‘known.’ I’m so glad to have discovered your words, because even though your path is different than mine, your words still inspire and enlighten me daily.
Thank you for just being you, and for sharing that with us!

This is a new daily blog for me, I found you through DGM of course, and I have really been enjoying it. I realize it is meant to be a blog about improving your health, but I appreciate it when you tell us about all aspects of what’s going on in your life. Mental health counts too. Thank you.

I really appreciate the comments you leave on mine.
Thanks
