Blogathoner Highlight
There are two blogs I’ve been putting off only because I’ve been extremely busy and I know once I really take the time for more than a cursory visit, I’ll want to spend hours exploring them.
Fit in Real Life is a blog written by Dara Chadwick. In 2007, Dara was the Weight-Loss Diary columnist for Self magazine, where she chronicled her fitness efforts for 1.5 million readers to see. With courage like that, she’s sure to be someone I can learn from. At Fit in Real Life, she shares about maintaining the weight-loss and fitness levels she’s attained.
I’m writing this while snacking on some trail mix, so we’re going to move right along to the next blog I know I’m going to love.
At the Peace of Mind Organizing blog, Janine Adams gets to the heart of the matter right in the title. Organizing is not about impressing our friends, living up to a Martha Stewart-type reality or even because you feel guilty about being a slob. (Nor, I must remind myself, is it because you love to buy swanky containers from Ikea or Target!) Find organizational systems and methods that work for you, and you’ll shave pounds of stress (if stress isn’t weighed in pounds it should be) from your over-burdened shoulders.
I love organizing. I guess it goes hand-in-hand with my love of cleaning doesn’t it? But I still struggle to maintain organization in every part of my home. (It might help if someone would put things back where they got them, but I digress.) Janine professes to have struggled with organization herself, and she shares with readers solutions that have helped her. I intend to visit her site as soon as I get these papers all over my desk filed.
The month of May is nearly over, and I haven’t gotten around to highlighting all of my fellow blogathoners’ blogs. If you haven’t already, you might want to browse the blogroll and see what you find. All of them are professional writers, so if you’re one of my writing buddies, don’t miss the opportunity to visit each one and see what you learn about writing, about the wide variety of niches that are out there, and about whatever else these writers like to talk about!
It’s entertaining, for sure.

Thanks for mentioning my blog! I wish I had your love of cleaning. I love organizing but I hate cleaning! I love the notion of measuring stress in pounds. That’s perfect!
