Don’t you love it when you find a new blog or read a new blog post that totally inspires you? Those are the ones you just can’t help but leave a long comment on. Sometimes you might even stumble it or tweet it it’s just so good. I found Moms Great Escape Blog the other day and found some inspiration in a bit of her own. She has created something called Blog It Forward. This is what she says about it:
Why not create a place dedicated to all those who inspire others, as well as a place where those needing a bit of inspiration can go to find it?
Indeed! I love being inspired by the words or actions of others. It inspires me to work harder to inspire people. I created Breastfeeding Moms Unite with a desire to inform and inspire other new and already breastfeeding moms to think more about breastfeeding, act more on breastfeeding issues, and breastfeed - longer, on demand, in public, for nourishment, for comfort, etc, etc.
Blogging is one of the ways I am trying to make a mark in the world about an issue I am passionate about. The positive feedback I receive makes me feel like I really might be making a difference and that empowers me to keep going. When we inform or inspire someone, we give a gift that keeps on giving, as they then take that knowledge and that excitement to someone else and around it goes.
- Do you write to inspire others with your story?
- Does it make your heart smile to know you have affected someone’s life in a positive way?
- Do you want more traffic to your blog from others seeking inspiration?
- Do you want to make a positive difference in this world?
To participate in Blog It Forward visit Moms Great Escape Blog and follow the instructions. I joined because it feels good to belong to a group of moms who are motivated by kindness to blog for the same reasons. For a cause. For a feeling. To inspire.
Maybe I’m too idealistic. Maybe I can’t change the world. But when I surround myself with like-minded bloggers who blog at PhDinParenting, Unnecesarean, Stork Stories, Blacktating, Cave Mother, and Simple Mom (as well as some other great blogs) and I am inspired by their words and read comments left by their readers who are also inspired, I feel like together we are doing something pretty amazing!
Whether you sign up or not, I encourage you to “Blog it forward.” Link someone in your post today, write to inspire, and imagine the difference you are making right now.
One person can make a difference! Each person signed up will inspire all their readers who, in turn, will inspire their own. The domino effect will make these inspirational accounts spread like wildfire! As a result, the selfless acts of kindness and inspiration, and the greater good principle will outshine the bad, therefore making this world a better place in which to reside.

Something must be in the air b/c I’ve been meaning to write a blog post this week to just acknowledge all the wonderful women bloggers I’ve discovered. I feel so privileged to be in such good company. Whether they are green mom blogs or just moms or women empowering others, I am so excited about each new blog I discover.
I haven’t had time to sit and write a thoughtful enough blog with so many links b/c my husband is in Europe and I’ve go tmy 2 year old! I was planning to work on it later today to post tomorrow. So I am all about blogging it forward.
