The Power of Intention

Part 7 in the Remarkable Bloggers© Series

Finding a blog for this issue of Remarkable Bloggers© turned into a chore. In fact, I’d all but given up on finding anything really remarkable to write about. Technology blogs, humor blogs, writing blogs, marketing blogs. I searched and searched. Mommy blogs, whines, pictures of kids with too much information. Still nothing “remarkable”. I stewed in my own juices and kept on reading. And then…what I assumed was just another “mommy blog” popped into my screen. I read, A Letter, Re-written.then I read more and more. I got chicken skin. This could be the next Remarkable Blogger©. As I continued to read this blog, I became enamored with this blogger. Her compassion, her strength, her intention to care, her utterly clear outlook on life (despite a wild turn of events), and her from the gut writing all blend to make a Remarkable Blog©. This one is a MUST READ.

When I emailed the Jenn, the author of Serving The Queens, I expected a diatribe about a tough life and tougher yet circumstances. Again, I was surprised.

Back in the day, I used to write about things that touched me and email them, or (egads!) snail mail them to family and friends. One day, someone said to me, “You should start a blog”. “What is this blog thing that you speak of,” asked I, and so it began. I was surprised and humbled when people began stumbling upon it and reading me regularly.

I’ve been taken aback a few times by mean comments or emails with critical messages, from what kind of mother am I to not commenting on other blogs. And I struggle now with people that know me reading my blog, later using the words that I write against me. (If you don’t like it, don’t read it.)

But, Jenn says life keeps her blogging.

writing is my outlet, my expression; my Prozac, I suppose.

While she’d rather focus on the commonality of the writers in her niche and the ties that bind them, Serving The Queens is truly a stellar example of blogging. When asked who she’d most like to meet and have guest post on her blog, her answer was clear.

You know, actually, I’d just love to meet some of my fellow bloggers — Slouching Mom, Lawyer Mama, The Wink — some of the people that inspire me so often and that I wish I could just wrap my arms around.

So, while you’re thinking that those “rockstar” mommy bloggers who rant about their “rockstar” lives and detail much more than you need to know are all there is in this vast niche called “Mommy Blogging”, think again. And remember what happens when you ass-u-me.
