Susie Lindau had an awesome blog post early last month that is inspiring this one. She called it her “Use Me and Abuse Me Day“. Well, in honor of Valentine’s day I wanted to give you all a chance to either get some love for your blogs or show some love for some awesome blogs you’ve discovered.
You guys have made me laugh, inspired me, made me cry…shared joys and pain… So what I’d like for you all to do is take a second and post the link to one of your favorite blog posts…either of your own or a friend and let us know a little bit of why you love it!

Hi Kitt,
There was a lot of sharing done on Susan’s post that day. I ended up adding quite a few of the blogs I visited to my reader.
I’d like to share an old post that I wrote about another blogger, Alicia. She’s been blogging for years, but has recently decided to stop. Perhaps getting some newfound love will encourage her to change her mind. No Air in Common
Thanks for doing this and happy pre-Valentine’s Day!

Ray, I’m so glad that through your post, I was introduced to Alicia. Anyone who has ever lost someone can truly appreciate what she went through and the bravery it took to share. I hope other people check her out, too! She definitely deserves the love.

Sneaky, Ray. Very sneaky.
I had wondered about the uptick in visits to that page and the new comments on yours. Your kind words touch my heart all over again, a year and a half later.
Others have been nudging me to resume blogging, but if I do, it won’t be for a while. Thank you, though, for your warmth and support; it means the world to me.

Susie’s last party was the reason I found your wonderful blog! Love that you’re doing this now, such a good idea (I need to try it out now).
One of my favorite posts is from my first experience in international travel. For my senior year my school’s Foreign Language Club made the trip out to Russia and Sweden. St. Petersburg won my heart but Moscow was quintessential Russia, especially when we got the chance to explore Red Square.

Hey Kitt!
Hope you don’t mind a NYC dude crashing this party! Actually, it was through Susie’s wild “abuse me” party that I discovered your blog and a few others. It really helped me out as a newbie blogger and there are so many other great bloggers out there I follow now. You and Susie have been so great to me. Mind if I mention a few of mine that I like?
Thanks!

My list is varied and I am sorry that I could not post just one. Thanks for allowing us to share some of our favourites, I have so many more. I do not follow for the sake of following, or feel I have to ‘pay back’ becausr they follow me, I follow because I enjoy their written word. Writing – having our blogs should not be competitive, though there are some that brag about how long they have been blogging for and how many visits and how many followers they have in a short spanse of time. … I follow because I am interested…and now I shall depart for I have rambled long enough. Thanks Kitt. x
