Nina’s Kindness
I started my blog in June, 8 years ago.
It’s seen me through 16 books, and I’ve made thousands of connections. I’ve met hundreds of bloggers I’m delighted to call “friends.”
Is that a hollow word? Not at all. It means that on some level I’ve felt a connection, perhaps brief, perhaps lasting for years, perhaps close enough that if I’m in your city or state or country someday, I’ll reach out and invite you out for coffee or wine.
For writers, blogging is essential, not for sales, but for the incredible encouragement, the cheers, the advice, the shoulder to gripe on or cry on. Bloggers are the ones who pat our backs, offer their time and talents, help us find resources, and support our marketing efforts. We get to showcase our reviews, our covers, our snippets, flash fiction, and poetry. We learn, we are challenged, we celebrate others and are celebrated.
But blogging isn’t only for storytellers, obviously. I’ve “met” artists, photographers, philosophers, jokers, wanderers, chefs, teachers and parents, historians, and thinkers. During these dark days of isolation, the kindness of bloggers has felt especially important. When I want to withdraw, bloggers remind me that the world is full of kindness.
I commented on a post by Nina of Method Two Madness that her painted rocks were beautiful as well as a wonderfully creative way to brighten the world when we so need beauty and light. The next thing I knew, Nina was sending me three beautiful pieces of artwork. They now sit in my garden:
Kindness in my garden
And she added in this beautiful card, which I’ll be framing from my writing room wall – a reminder of the many gifts of blogging and the kindness of very real friends.
Artwork for my Writing Room
Thank you, Nina. ❤
If you get a chance, visit Nina and Kerfe at Method Two Madness. They share a beautiful blog of artwork, prose, and poetry.
Does the kindness of bloggers brighten your world?
Coffee or wine, my friend?
Correct! Blogging is a slice of heaven, it allows me to express myself and build connections with those who share the same experiences and ideas. It’s a home away from home, it keeps me motivated, especially when others appreciate my writing. -Spicedchaix20

Bloggers are the best people around. In the almost 8 years I have been blogging, I’ve found the same as you have found. Acceptance, wisdom and kindness. Packages have come back and forth all over the world. My mail lady was always impressed at how many out of country cards and packages came for me or went the other way. My adult children know them as “friends of mine”. When I thought I couldn’t write anymore, they always step up and urge me forward. I certainly don’t have many friends like that in my neighborhood. You are right about the diverse nature of bloggers. I learn something from each one. Even a preschool teacher and I have no small children in my life. Wisdom and kindness know no bounds. Congrats belatedly on 8 years. That’s quite the feat.

That’s incredible. I always hear such beautiful stories from the blogosphere, stories that don’t seem that frequent in the hate-filled world of other social media platforms. I guess it’s because people who come here to write generally have good things to say. Those painted rocks are stunning, and what a beautiful gesture from Nina to send them to you 🙂 Happy bloggoversary, Diana. I wish you many many more, and many many more book publications! I so agree about the tendency of bloggers to cheer each other on when writing.

Oh, yes. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting many bloggers in person when ‘The Bloggers Bash’ was running. But even before then, I’ve always appreciated the help, support, advice and friendship of the blogging community. And, most important of all, it was all offered for free. If it were not for them, I’d never have carried on writing. It’s just a shame there is not enough time in the world to visit all those blogs, especially when your own writing also needs time.

When I took my break, it was greatly needed, but I literally returned in the beginning of Covid because I wanted the online interactions due to the restricted in-person communication . I have stayed in contact with some special blogging friends via Facebook and email, as well, so I wasn’t totally out of touch. And for the record, I’d love to meet you for coffee sometime, but I guess we have a little bit of a wait time. 🙂
