  18. Hi Maria, thanks for the link, I really enjoyed the post and that blog, which I have not seen before. By the way, I don't have a radio at my office so I often click on your blog and listen to your play list as your music is all to my taste. So thanks for that.

  21. thanks for sending us to her post...it was a wonderful reminder to me to keep the main thing the main thing about blogging....

    it's not life or death...and it just absolutely doesn't matter how many followers we have...

    it matters that it is enhancing our lives...growing us...making us better..not bogging us down with the yucky stuff that can creep in.

    you are a wonderful encourager!

  29. Thanks so much for posting this Maria, I couldn't agree more with Christina. It really only takes a second to acknowledge a nice comment or pop in to check out a new blog. Why waste time and energy on negative people, when there are so many genuine and generous bloggers out there. I love that you always take the time to feature other blogs, and I believe that what goes around comes around, so you should have quite a bit of good karma coming your way! K xx

  31. I read it Maria, I run there after your advice. She's so right!!! Blog world should be big enough for everyone but there's much competition and fake friendships like in real life. But instead there are also many wonderful people like you, my friend! I'm happy and honoured to have your friendship. I will follow Christina advices though.

  35. Hello dear Maria! I just popped over there and read Christina's post {had never been to her blog}...she was so right on! Afterall, it's the kindness to one another that above all else has been what draws me to blogging the most!

  42. Dear Maria-
    Thanks for the link, what a wonderful read. I guess becuase I have been in the blogging world for such little time I have not come accross anyone who has been rude or had other intentions, I guess I have been so fortunate! I'm just thankfull that I have met so many wonderful friends like you through blogging that are all in it for the right reasons. It's so wonderful to have a group of friends that are true and real! As women we need to stick together, not wish negativity amongst each other! Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
    XO

  53. just stumbled on to your blog - it's beautiful! I've got a lot of back posts to go through here!

  54. Dear Maria,
    thank you very much for this great link about blogging! I loved to read it and must say that those words are so true.
    Anyway, I´m not a professional blogger or blogging by profession. For many of us it´s just fun, for me it means a way out of the daily housekeeping and all the work. But I don´t blog to have many visitors, I don´t blog to increase my number of readers and followers. And so I keep my own freedom :D
    I must say that I appreciate all visits and all comments of people who are passing by and I always try to answer every single message. But I´m not 24 hours or day and night focussed on blogging.
    Maybe the American community is also much bigger than the Belgian blogging-community. And I found out that meanwhile there are many German ladies blogging about interior and lifestyle as well now. So, it´s normal that they get many followers and comments, I guess.
    Thank you for all your kind messages! :D
    All the best and many sunny greetings,
    Marjolijn
