As I mentioned here before this is the first time I have hosted even one guest blogger, not to mention a month filled with them. But I have been a guest blogger before. And so naturally, I was hoping my hostess with the mostest, Penny, would return the favor and share a love story with us on Yankee Doodle Paddy. And thankfully she didn’t disappoint! Continue reading
Last year about this time I shared a book on my Snapchat channel (username blissbakery) called “The Five Love Languages” and I highlighted one person from Snapchat that represented each of the five languages. For the “Quality Time” language I chose Maria Ryan. Because day in and day out Maria sits with the people of Snapland and checks in, asks how everyone is doing, has the chats and bants, and some great giggles about life. She is a constant, a pillar of truth, and a caring saint.
While LOVE may be the universal language, which we can all speak, there is still an aspect of it that is very personal and unique like our fingerprints. Our personalities and life experiences combine to help us relate to love and express it with individuality. Continue reading
With only one week left of the Guest Blogger Month I wanted to mention that writing a LOVE story about something other than a human being, is VERY welcomed! It is amazing to hear authors share about the love of a partner, child, parent or even themselves. However, as indicated by our first post, which was about a pair of boots, it also allows for a more rounded picture of the theme of the month of February, when we hear about other types of love. And the reality is, sometimes humans find more of a connection with a form of art or a pet than an actual person. It is still love, just explored and expressed in a differnet way. Just as important to learn about and may in fact be something that resonates in oursleves. Continue reading
While I have put out the word each day that I am taking submissions for the Guest Blogger Month on the theme of LOVE, I wasn’t sure who would step forward and participate. But I am delighted to see all the amazing folks sharing their love stories on Yankee Doodle Paddy. And one person in particular I was hoping would contribuite is today’s author. Jennifer Byrne from Ireland has an amazing story. It isn’t just an inspiration for women, moms, and over 40’s but it is a story for ANYONE who has felt repression of any kind. Continue reading
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, just because I’m a LOVE Enthusiast doesn’t mean I am not still learning more about the subject every moment of every day. The thing is, I am deeply passionate about the topic of LOVE. So much so that not only is it my purpose in life, but I have dedicated this whole month to sharing my virtual home with guest bloggers. Since the beginning of the month we’ve read a range of posts, the only caveat I gave for those contributing was that it had to tie into the theme of LOVE! Some are used to writing and others like today’s author admit they haven’t written anything since school days. But every person has a right for their story to be told. Continue reading
The month of LOVE is flying by, which means so are the Guest Blogger posts! I am savoring each and every one and I hope you are too! Today’s author is a wife, mommy and blogger from Ireland. In fact I had the pleasure of meeting Joanne in August last year at the Cloggers Blogger Event which I shared about on here. She is a fun, fabulous and fashionable lady who even won best dressed at the event. But what I love about Joanne is her giant heart which you will get to know when you read her love story for her husband. Continue reading
