Blogs & Bloggers I Love

Hello Friends!  I haven’t done one of these in quite awhile and have decided that it’s high time I did so……

Welcome back to Blog & Bloggers I Love!
From time to time, I share some of the posts that I’ve enjoyed during the past weeks, blogs I love or simply fantastic Bloggers.  This is more than a simple link up.  I’ll give you links while giving it and them the honor of what or why I loved it and why you will too.

It’s a hat tip to my community, a word of appreciation, recognition AND a way for me to both introduce you to each other and promote your blogs.

There are so many of you that I just can’t say enough about and I truly love but I can’t get to everyone all at once.  Please be patient.  I Don’t want your feelings hurt or to think I’ve over looked you.  I love you all!  Read, enjoy, follow and be looking for my pingback as you’ll be listed soon.

How you can help…  If you’ve written a post that you’d love to share, one you’re really happy with, or just to introduce yourself to everyone, leave a link in the comments where everyone can enjoy it.

without further adieu…

Maryam @ To The Salt Of The Sea
Today I Saw Autumn

I could read this post over and over again. (And I have)  It’s one of those rare pieces, so deeply moving that it etches itself upon the literary soul, yearns to be spoken aloud, whose lines the heart recites from memory in years to come.  Masterfully written, lyrical, poetic, stunning imagery.  This is someone who “you should write a book!”.   I would read it forever as a cherished tale upon my shelve.

This was just stunningly beautiful in every way. Magical, lyrical, your words took me along the journey with you, gifted this moment to me…I could feel it on my skin, feel it beneath my feet.

Lisa @ Grief To Beautiful Sorrow
Life – Period

While I’m including this specific post, a post that caused me to ask this same question of myself and explore the vastness of it’s answer, It is truly Lisa herself that I want to introduce you to and of whom I am a fan.

In her blog, Lisa invites us to accompany her on an unflinching journey from devastating grief, through the process of climbing through the ashes, rising to embrace healing.  In doing so, Lisa discovers that healing after loss doesn’t mean leaving her love behind but rather allows her to honor him, his life and their love, more fully.  With raw honesty, the bravery of vulnerability and the sheer strength of an indomitable spirit,  she tackles lifes most difficult journey.

Cheri @ OurLittleRedHouse  – Thrift Store Treasures An Antique Pillowcase Dress and A Letter

Cheri is such a kindred spirit, her love of a thrift store treasure hunt, quest to preserve the history of us in bygone days, to the romance of  old letters and photographs that whisper of tales to be told.  In this post, she takes us on an odessy beginning with the discovery of an old cloth doll with a note attached, found in a thrift store grab bag.  The note, a brief history of it’s dress, made from a hundred year old pillowcase.  Onward we journey through the memories of her grandmother, growing up during the great depression.  A fabulous tale, lovingly told.
