Part of what keeps me focused and blogging each day has become those around me who, too, are working to find their own voice. The following sites are my favorites of blogging buddies in my support system. You should definitely check out their sites, and if you like what they have to say… make them one of your daily stops (or leave them a comment).

Paineful Admissions: Simply put, this is the anti-stupidity blog. There is no political leaning or propaganda. Instead, the author scours the news and poses the question “Seriously?!?!”

The Miseducation Of Lauren Hill: Maybe I’m biased because this girl is one of my best friends and my lil sister, but there’s wisdom beyond her years found here (and a few good laughs).

Ingrained Refrains: If I love music, this author LOVES music and shares her passion with her readers. It’s where I go when I need to find something to sing-a-long to.

Dark Ale: Brand-spanking new, this blog has the potential to help answer that ever-present question, “What movie should we watch tonight?”

BusyBee: From LOST spoilers to scrapbooking genius, this blog has something new to offer each and every day. Plus, she loves John Mayer. What a win-win situation!
