It is quite interesting when I speak with people about writing for this Guest Blogger Month of LOVE series. Some are eager right out of the box! They are usually folks who write regularly though often on topics unrelated to LOVE. This provides an opportunity to write something different than their normal topics. And then there are others who have to be gently encouraged to participate. Some like my friend Lynda, have admitted the only thing they write is the grocery list. Well today’s guest blogger, the lovely Emma from Australia, shared that she hadn’t written anything since high school. But here is the thing, I’d like to suggest that these blog posts aren’t about writing (you know the stress of punctuation, grammar and a grade). I like to think these stories are about SHARING!

Guest Blogger Month II: Post #9
TGIF and welcome back to the Guest Blogger Month of LOVE series on Yankee Doodle Paddy. One of the cool things about love is that we can all learn from each other. Case in point, today’s Post #9 is from the lovely Vanessa who is only 12 years old. Last year there were two guest posts from young people (Alannah 15 years old and Hannah Rose 8 years old) as well. In society, people think it is the adults who teach the younger people. But I often find I learn more from young people. They are wise and loving and giving. Today, Vanessa is giving us a treat with a poem she wrote with LOVE for someone very special to her.

But in February while the world is in high gear selling flowers, cards and chocolates I thought I would be nice to delve a bit deeper into the subject. I am inviting folks to share my little corner of the internet to give their perspective of love and what it means. The response has been astounding. Not just from the authors who are baring their souls, but from the readers giving supportive comment, likes and shares. So from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! Continue reading
