3 Blogs

One blog that I particularly enjoy reading when I remember to do so is Yes and Yes - Because Yes is more fun than No.  It's an inspiring, happy-go-lucky, and well-humored blog that focuses on the positive  with a sprinkling of spirituality and a good dose of style and wit, inspiring its readers to travel, be adventurous, have fun, be happy, laugh at yourself.  It's most likely aimed at optimists, the people who prefer the "glass is half full" outlook on life, and any traveller type who loves a good adventure, and frankly, women.  The blogger, Sarah von Bargen has recently added apps to be downloaded to your smart device such as "Yes! Daily", and the "Wanderlust Workbook."  Sarah infers that the reader needs a little inspiration to bring an extra smile to their day, a chance to peer into her life as she seemingly enjoys it in a light-hearted, slightly goofy, manner.  And maybe she is inferring that we all need to be reminded that we are human, similar and different in many wonderful ways, and to have fun getting to know new and different places and experiences.  I think she also attracts other writers, and bloggers, because she has groomed this art quite admirably.  I think she wants others to see her as cheerful, fashionable, funny, quirky, smart, and light-hearted.

Mackintosh Academy's Blog is useful to those interested in an education at this private Boulder school for their children, or perhaps for educators and parents interested in the advice articles it has to share on an array of topics that make up the whole child that their academy stands for: social-emotional, educational, familial, new discoveries, and workshops in the community.  I think they do a good job of speaking to their readers in a upbeat, current, modern and interesting tone.

The third blog that I like is The Mountain Rose Blog.  It attracts readers looking for inspiring recipes and remedies that can be made at home for health and wellness.  It speaks from a place of eco-consciousness, sustainability, while also using the blog to advertise its products.

I think all three blogs share in common the desire to convey knowledge, information, and awareness on certain subjects, in an advice-driven way.  All blogs seem to be wanting to help their audience feel more prepared in some way.

I infer as an education-driven blogger, that my readers are wanting the same kind of support as readers of the above mentioned blogs, advice, reliability, sprinklings of spirituality and humor.

I want to convey that information and knowledge is powerful but that is just the surface, below lies so much more, in the heart, in our characters, in our relationships.
