I admit, this profession of love is for a drawing at OMSH (whom I also love to read daily), but it is such a good idea, it might be something I do every once in a while, or possibly regularly.
What she wants us to do is:
to write a loving, uplifting, encouraging, generous, complimentary post about one, two, three, four, or however many you like, of your favorite bloggers.
Since I need to be more positive and February is the optimal month for spreading love, I decided to participate. I’ll start with the only blogger I know personally. I give you:
A Blogger I Love: Michelle of Not So Anonymous Confessions
I originally met Michelle in high school. She was a friend of a friend and we all became friends (confused much?). We hung out together, had class together, raised tadpoles together, chased guys together, were a part of Operation ditch B together, started “soshe-ing” (like social) together and all around had lots of fun during those tumultuous teen years.
After the first year of college and lots of chatting it up during the hey-day of chat rooms, we fell out of touch. I thought of her sometimes and her bubbly personality and missed her. Life went on, hers and mine.
Jump to nearly 10 years later. That’s right, high school reunion time. Our class was on My $p@ce and we reconnected through there. We got together with several other friends from high school at her house and had a great time catching up. Since then, Michelle has started her own blog.
She chronicles the life of her family: curly-girl Emma, her husband Trevor who is now a U.S. citizen, herself and some key players in their lives. With some humor, some sadness, some real life, she keeps me up to date and she lets others into her life.
I love reading her blog because she is a great writer, hilarious, open and honest. One of the best features are her pictures she posts of her cutie-pie daughter and the rest of her family.
Recently, she has joined weight watchers. And while she’s not posting her actual numbers, she is updating on how much she is losing, what she’s eating and how she’s doing it. She just reached her first 10 pound goal! I am proud of her for taking on this challenge that will surely make her more of a woman than she already is.
Go and check her out, give her some love, catch up on what she’s been doing! I’m sure you’ll love her too.

Awww, you got me all teary-eyed at work when I read this post this morning! Thank you so much! This is great and I appreciate it!
We have to get together again soon! I appreciate the blog-love, I need to do that post sometime soon too! Maybe a good Valentine’s Day idea! I hope you’re staying warm, it’s so cold I can hardly believe it!
Also, weighed in Saturday and lost another 2.4 pounds! YAY!
Ran into Steph’s parents last week at the meeting? Did I tell you? Her dad lost 100 pounds, mom 50 pounds!
