Cool Blogs

Have you heard of Seriously, So Blessed? I saw it on someone's blogroll and clicked over a couple of weeks ago. I didn't get it, (if you've ever read it you will laugh out loud by the fact that I didn't get it) but I put it on my Google Reader anyway. I think I wasn't in a funny mood that day or something. Anyway, the thing about this blog is it's completely fabricated. It's all made up. It's a real girl writing about a fictional girl who leads the perfect life. Everything in her life is perfect, and nothing ever goes wrong. The blog is only three months old and has already gotten over 250,000 hits! The woman who writes it is obviously doing something right.

Other blogs I have found recently that I enjoy: Cake Wrecks, Crazyland, 'Twas Brillig (don't you love the name?), Tip Junkie, and Normal Mormon Husbands. By the way, at least 4 of these 6 blogs are written by LDS people. Not that it matters, but I think it's pretty cool.

What blogs do you enjoy reading?

Trevor and Jamie said...: I know this has nothing to do with your post, but I wanted to say that I'm from Parowan, right next to Cedar City! I love it down there! I hope you are enjoying it down there, maybe we can get together sometime when I'm visiting down there again!; September 6, 2008 at 10:57 PM
Brillig said...: Aww, thanks for the spotlight!

And I absolutely LOVE Seriously, So Blessed. And I didn't get it the first time I clicked over there either! A friend sent me the link, and I thought it was supposed to be some girl we knew or something. And I thought she was annoying and NOT funny. THEN I got it. hahaha. I'm glad I'm not the only one who had to look twice! (The brilliance is that it's SO MUCH LIKE so many Mormon Mommy-Blogs that we... tolerate!)

Anyway, thanks again!; September 7, 2008 at 11:26 PM

It is a waste of time and energy to worry about what others are thinking about you. because... You can never know exactly what another person is thinking...AND, the wost part is...they are usually not thinking about you at all. They are too busy worrying about what others are thinking about them. So, the truth is, all those terrible thoughts you thought they might be thinking about you, are your own thoughts about yourself. Better spend your energy worrying about that...or, you just might convince somebody to think what you were afraid they might be thinking after all. ~Portia Nelson

"When we honestly ask which persons in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not-knowing, not-curing, not-healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness ... makes it clear that whatever happens in the external world, being present to each other is what really matters." ~Henri Nouwen

"...People need to talk, and often a willingness to sit and listen is the greatest kindness one person can offer to another. One of the first lessons of childhood is to be wary of strangers, and while this is good counsel to guard against the world's very small nefarious element, it also teaches us to block out the large majority of those who just have something on their mind they'd like to say. We are taught to be suspicious, especially of anyone who might not look like us or share our beliefs. By the time we reach adulthood, many have perfected the art of isolation, of being careful, of not listening in the name of safety. But the truth is that we need to hear other people, all people, especially in those moments when we don't know exactly where we're going ourselves." ~Ann Patchett

"Sometimes, I imagine my own life as a series of snapshots taken by some omniscient artist who is just keeping track - not interfering or saying anything, just capturing the moment for me to look back at it again later....This is the way it is, the photograph says, and I nod my head in appreciation. The power of art is in that nod of appreciation, though sometimes I puzzle nothing out, and the nod is more a shrug. No, I do not understand this one, but I see it. I take it in. I will think about it. If I sit with this image long enough, this story, I have the hope of understanding something I did not understand before. And that, too, is art, the best art." ~Dorothy Allison
