I Got U Blogfest!
And the "Star of the Show" here at Book Dreaming today is:
Sharon Mayhew of Random Thoughts
The point of today's blogfest is to show some love to a fellow blogger.
I chose someone VERY special
to me,
yet under-appreciated
by me.
by me.
Sharon was my very first follower.
That's right.
Look at the follower gadget. It says 480.
But Sharon was my 1st, non-family, somehow found-me-and-liked-what-she-saw-enough-to-click-follow follower. And I will forever love her for that.
She validated me and gave me hope and a reason to keep blogging. And I will forever love her for that.
She was the first to tell me she liked the idea of my story and that I should keep going. And I will forever love her for that.
So why is she under-appreciated, you say? Because I don't visit her nearly enough. She blogs more in the evening. I blog more throughout the day. That means she doesn't pop up on my sidebar when I'm online. So...I forget to visit her too often.
Yet she forgives me. And I will forever love her for that.
What a lovely blog post! I think SHE is going to LOVE YOU for THIS! ;o)
ReplyDeleteAwwww I love Sharon (and you!)!

ReplyDeleteOMGoodness, Shannon! I'm in tears! You are so sweet! I'm so glad I "blog met" you...You have a great heart and a lovely voice! I love (and am in awe of) how you are all over the web encouraging bloggers in all aspects of their lives. You are a rockstar, my friend! Thank you for being so sweet!
