Grateful girl and influential blogger

One of the best pieces of advice I ever received is

Always begin the day with gratitude.

Every morning, I write in my journal the things I’m thankful for — from the simplest gift of being able to wake up to a brand new day to the greatest blessing of having all my loved ones with me.

I find that being thankful in the morning sets the tone for the whole day, I tend to look out for the good things and I can say good things do come to me.

When I logged in my dashboard this morning, this nice little message in my “incoming links” box welcomed me.

When I clicked on the link, I found that fellow hot momma blogger JoanJoyce mentioned me as one of her picks for the Top 10 Emerging Influential Bloggers in 2008.

The search is actually a writing project launched by author and blogger Ms. Janette Toral to spot new and emerging blogs. Bloggers who participate in the project are eligible for a chance to win $100. If you want to nominate yourself or your picks, read the guidelines or head on over to the Influential Blogger site to learn more.

I blog because it’s good therapy and writing practice for me. But knowing that I have inspired or moved even just one person with my posts gives it a whole new meaning.

Thank you sis, bloggers like you make the blogosphere a happier place.

You certainly made my week. :D

Enjoy the ride Jayme - there are others things to be thankful for (in blogosphere) - that is finding and welcoming new bloggers. Keep us inspired. And you know, you did already that’s why I keep coming back.

Congrats Jayme!

I like the way you write, even with your sponsored posts. It is well incorporated into the whole blog. I try to do the same in mine. You have influenced me in that way.

Thanks for dropping my blog today.
