Where I Go For Blog Inspiration

February 28, 2015 by Lisa 1 Comment

Got bloggers block and not sure what to write about? Well, I’ve got some Blog Inspiration for you!

I’m lucky enough to be at the inaugural We All Grow Summit in LA. During one of the sessions someone asked where bloggers find inspiration for posts. It’s a question often asked and one that I ask myself from time to time (a lot). I’ve been blogging for more than four years and there are moments when I sit at the computer and wonder what the heck to write.

But when inspiration hits – I stop everything, sit down and write. Even if that means writing in my towel in my hotel room.

Where I go when I need Blogspiration:

On Wednesdays when I’m wondering what to write, I pour my heart out with the things I can’t bring myself to say and link up with Shell of Things I Can’t Say.

Mama Kat’s Writers Workshop is great. I sign up for the newsletter and every week I get new writing prompts. Even if I can’t link up that week, it’s a good resource to have. It’s almost like having a weekly homework assignment. The prompts make me think outside the box and write. The Where I’m From poem is one of my favorites – it took so much for me to write it but I’m happy I did. And I love reading them. If you write one – let me know. I’d love to read it.

Mama Kat also has a Vlogging Workshop – I am determined to do more vlogging this year.  Especially after all the great information I’ve learned while at #WeAllGrow. While I’m inspired to do more vlogging, sometimes I don’t always know what to blog about. I like that Mama Kat shares prompts. So far I’ve only done one vlog this year…but like I said, I’m determined to do more.

Margaret Mason of Mighty Girl has an awesome book called – No One Cares What You Had for Lunch: 100 Ideas for Your Blog – I LOVE IT! It’s a quick read and just a great resource for those days when you’re like what the heck do I write?

My #WeAllGrow bestie, Claudya of Unknown Mami is a wonderful source of blogspiration. She has a Sundays in my City & a Wednesday Wishes  link up. And every Friday she puts out a Flying Chancla Report – a round-up of things from the Internet. Write a response to something you’ve seen or read. (But remember – give credit where credit is due.)

I’m definitely feeling the inspiration and the love at #WeAllGrow and I am surrounded by inspiring women and storytellers (like Claudya, Ana, Jeannette, Vanessa, Ruby, Monique Maura and Diana to name a few). I am grateful to have found them on line and meet them in real life. When all else fails – I look to those that inspire me to keep me going and get me writing.

euphoria: the feeling or state of intense exciteme euphoria: the feeling or state of intense excitement and happiness 🌻 I may struggle with depression and anxiety but I also have moments of pure and genuine happiness. That is where I am right now. One of the gifts I’ve received in sobriety is the ability to hold space for all of my emotions. I feel them, I acknowledge them and I let them pass. For me, it’s in the passing where the power is... I don’t stay in it. ✨ 45 is going to be amazing. ✨
Depression and anxiety can easily knock me down. B Depression and anxiety can easily knock me down. But I continue to get up. I do my hair, throw on some hoops, dab a little gloss and give myself a pep talk. Dear Me, I know you’re scared, but you can handle this. Keep going. Love, Me 🌻#selfcareseptember #radicalbodylove
No I’m sorry or explanation necessary. Just NO a No I’m sorry or explanation necessary. Just NO and keep it moving. ”No” is hard when you’re a people pleaser but boundaries are absolutely necessary. It’s something I’m learning to do to maintain my own peace of mind. Lack of boundaries invites lack of respect. And I respect myself way too much to allow anyone to disrespect me. 💥 periodt ✌🏼 #selfcareseptember #radicalbodylove
I try to start my mornings with a gratitude list. I try to start my mornings with a gratitude list. After meditating and writing my list, I opened my Beautiful You book. Describing myself in 25 words or less without using roles or physical features was not easy. It took a little time. But I did. Making healthy choices, setting boundaries is a daily practice. I am grateful I have the willingness to do so. I am grateful I can pause and breathe through my anxiety. I am grateful I have the courage to follow my dreams. Thank you @rosiemolinary - I am grateful for your words and online presence in my life. Hope we can be in the same room again soon. xoxo amiga 💛 #selfcareseptember #radicalbodylove

The solitude forced me to figure myself out. I may not always be happy about my situation, but I am happy with myself. And I think it shows. 💛 #selfcareseptember #radicalbodylove
