Hello Everyone,
After being away for a while, I thought of catching up with my favorite blogs; however, wordpress will not let me like your posts. Please know that I have read a lot of them and ‘like’ actually love what I have read! Hopefully the issue is fixed soon but thought I would send out a message, I miss reading your work and try to do so when I get some time!
Much love!
Neha
Hello Everyone,
I would just like to take a moment to thank my lovely viewers and readers who have helped me cross the 160K+ viewership and 5K+ readership mark! I remember when I first started, I rejoiced at my first 100 subscribers and 1000 was a distant dream but I am so humbled and happy to have my viewership grow everyday! I am grateful to find kind, warmhearted, passionate individuals through this wonderful community, many of whom I now see as friends – THANK YOU!
Much love to all of you for your continued support!

Here are the questions:
How did you get into blogging?
I got into blogging on a whim. I was not sure about what my blog would be, but I knew that I wanted to write. I had always enjoyed writing, and poetry is where I had found solace in words. This piece I wrote share what I hope my words will find: Let me find hope. So I wrote…Needless to say, I was overwhelmed by the love and support of this community…I got to interact with so many other wonderful, talented bloggers, some of whom I now call my friends, who gave me a sense of belonging in this blogging atmosphere. I may have gotten into blogging on a whim but I stayed in the blogging community because of the amazing experience I had (am having) with all of you, where I can share and read the words and photographs that come from the heart. I could not have asked for anything better.
What advice would you give to a blogger just starting out?
Blog about what matters to you, connect with the community, there is a whole new world waiting to connect with you and your work. 🙂
What would be your dream campaign?
My dream campaign would be to promote the power of imagination, for everyone to imagine and follow their own dreams to do what makes them happy. And to spread hope and kindness in all hearts.
Do you have a plan for your blog?
My plan is to continue writing and connecting with fellow bloggers, to learn their stories and share mine. 🙂
What do you think about rankings?
I am not too fond of rankings, I like to appreciate all work that is done with passion and from the heart.
Here are my nominees, please check out their blogs to view some amazing talent.
A God Colored Girl in a Grey World
