Can you believe it?!?@#$!?! The Mindful Migraine is 6 months old today! I usually go for an image of sparklers to mark the anniversaries of my monthly inchstones, but today’s a BIG date, so I went all out and exploded some fireworks as my post-image!
When I first made my New Year’s resolution to start blogging about my migraines, and what worked (and what didn’t) on my holistic healing journey, I could never have imagined that I would meet so many AMAZING people! Some of you have migraines, some of you have chronic pain of a different sort. Some of you are into mindfulness, others are just committed, creative, incredible bloggers who generously share your ideas and time with other bloggers through your posts and comments.
Today I want to do a quick share of some blog statistics as a way of celebrating my mini-milestones, and then it’s on to my favorite activity of blog-shouting-out.
In terms of a quick recap, here’s the top three blogposts from the last month in terms of:
Most viewed: its-time-to-take-out-the-trash-talk/
Most liked: shadesformigraine/
Most comments: chatgpt-what-do-you-know-about-me/
In terms of who gives the most comments, the behind-the-scenes metrics tell me there are 5 blogger ‘winners’; and because you guys are so generous with your attention, here’s some extra love for YOU:
Things I Have thought Of: Things I have thought of… in case you haven’t
It’s Amy I said: “It’s Amy,” I said. – Poems, prose and quirkiness abound
M’chels Musings: M’chelsMusings
Joanne Rambling: Remember Life’s Too Short To Be Miserable
Spark of Inspiration: Spark of Inspiration – Explore🔹Imagine🔹Discover
Now for the new blog shout-outs…
One of the reasons that I keep reading other people’s blogs and chatting to their authors is that there are always these little moments that capture your attention and cause you to have an ah-ha moment. One recent example is a comment by Joni Caggiano. She wrote that “every day is a new opportunity” – it’s as simple statement but it really resonated with me – keep trying people, mess up, fail, suffer, struggle, but keep going, knowing that tomorrow you get to have another go at healing, growing, or adulting!
There are SO MANY blogs that I’m discovering that all add so much wonder to my world!! (There’s so much to read – so little time… but know that I am trying to get to you all as often as I can!!)
This month is a call out to 10 blogs and their bloggers who I have enjoyed reading and chatting to over the last month:
