A Special Thank You to Dana Huff for nominating this blog for the Thinking Blogger Award (check out who is behind this award and where and why it was started).
Let me tell you, coming from Dana, this is a huge honor. Dana, her husband Steve, and their two daughters (Here is one amazing blog, and here is the other one....) have inspired me and my whole family through their blogs and the wonderful wit and wisdom contained therein. I sincerely hope you will all go and check them out.
So, according to the rules, I must now pick 5 blogs that make me think. This is no small task in that I am such an eclectic blog reader in general and, the blogs I gravitate to usually fall all over the spectrum in terms of thoughtful inspiration. Some are because they are just *that* good others are eye candy and speak to my inner muse.
1) I am following Dana's lead a bit here in choosing my children's blog. The Super Adventures of Ben and Noah have made me think in so many ways that I never dreamed I would. The perspective and determination of these two boys is astounding and the dedication to their "people" (as the lovingly call the folks who read their blog each day) is very touching. I love to see the world through the eyes of a 6, now 5, and 3 year old.
2) Anna's Blog, A Rose By Any Other Name, is another one I would have to have on my list. Her insight and dedication to the troops is something that is both sobering and inspirational. I enjoy popping in to see her and the community of people she has also touched. She is a bright and shining star on the internet.
3) Crafty Synergy is an art type blog. This is a site that mainly interviews artists and other crafty type people. I find it speaks to my inner muse and it makes me think about what else to create and the creative process as a whole as seen through the eyes of many wonderfully talented individuals.
4) I think I would also have to have my favorite Court Jester from Joust the Facts on my list as well. One of the things about thought provoking is that it should be like iron sharpening iron. I really enjoy reading posts from folks that are "meaty" and have substance to them and adding a bit of humor makes it all more palatable.
5) I guess I would have to add another artsy type blog to the mix. I know that the Ready Made Magazine blog would have to be another blog that deserves mention. I have been inspired in so many ways from the projects I have seen on this blog in one way or another. Many of the altered art pieces I have made have had this blog as the catalyst.
