A Week Of Positive Blogging - Day 7

Today, the final day for A Week Of Positive Blogging, we are to write about other bloggers who participated and their words that inspired us. This is the easiest post by far. The bloggers involved this week have posted a lot of amazing thoughts and stories.

Yesterday we were asked what advice would we pass on to the next generation. The blog What Tami Said gave very thoughtful advice in her post. Here is an excerpt;

"Be you. You are the product of the wisdom of the Universe--imperfectly perfect just the way you are. There are lots of rule books for the way things should be. Your family has one. Your friends have one. Society has one. But rules that work for some, won't always work for you. That's okay. If the world says women should be dainty, porcelain skinned, flaxen haired, quiet and uncomplicated, and you are statuesque, mahogany toned, kinky haired, loud and difficult? Embrace it. If the world says men should be hard, stoic and aggressive, and you are soft, emotional and calm? Revel in it. It the world says war, but you say peace? Celebrate it. Learn to listen to yourself, too. Be still and quiet sometimes. That's the best way to hear your own voice. Once you hear it, follow it."

On the first day of A Week Of Positive Blogging the post was to be discussions of positive memories, writings, thoughts, and images that you have come across in your life. It could be a place, it could be a photo, it could be a film, it could be anything. The blog just lisa (one of my favorite blogs) wrote a moving post about the influence her dad has had in her life. Here is a part that really moved me;

"If only all little girls could feel the warm and fuzzy bubbles that turn to the type of empowerment and fortitude that can fight a grizzly bear from the REAL love of a good daddy"


Today is Lisa's birthday... HAPPY BIRTHDAY LISA!!!! Have a wonderful day!

For day 3 we were asked to ponder having $30 million dollars and what we would do with it in three months to change the world. Chrissy Jo at the blog Rainbows and Butterflies wrote a nice post about how she would spend the money, here is an excerpt;

"How can you not be saddened after seeing a homeless person laying behind a building? No warmth, no safety, no food, no family? It's the American dream to own your own home, but to not even have a place to stay? I couldn't imagine going through that."

On day 1, Ehav of the blog Hochmah and Musar wrote about a place that is special to him. Here is part of his post;

"First off, in 2004 my life was falling apart piece by piece. Everything that could go wrong went wrong. I was having financial problems, spiritual problems, and personal problems. At the peak of it all I got a feeling as if God had abandoned me at the worst possible moment. I went through a phase of hating God, and not wanting to live by any kind of spiritual code. Yet, within a week I had a feeling like I needed to go to Israel immediately."

Miriam at Live From Israel writes about some of her heroes for day 2. Here is a bit of her post;

"Another hero came about the time when I moved away from home. I had been very sheltered at home and was not prepared for the onslaught of life. Guys seem to be dripping with perversions, women all seemed hateful and jealous and unhappy. At that time, I listened to mainstream news a lot. Too much. That too made for depression bouts. Enter Rabbi Capers Funnye."

Overall it's been a fun and interesting week of blogging. I have truly enjoyed the experience. A Week Of Positive Blogging has been inspirational. I thank all the bloggers who took part and added greatly to my week. I have enjoyed so much everyone's posts.

And a special thanks to Ehav at Hochmah and Musar for organizing A Week Of Positive Blogging!
