I read a lot of blogs. Like, a loooot. My Google Reader is practically overflowing, all of various genres and sorts, but all curated and written by talented people.
One common theme I'm seeing from these little pockets of the interwebs is a revitalized, buzzy excitement to create renewed content for the year, an effort to blog about the things they truly love, think, and feel. No matter the reaction, loss of followers, or fear of the ramblings of irrelevant internet trolls. It's like this energy you can almost feel coming through the screen. Honesty and transparency is increasing and a sense of fellowship is evolving. I am so excited for blogging this year!
I always wonder who reads what blogs and am always looking for awesome new blogs to follow. That being said, I want to share with you some of the blogs I read (I would be linking for days if I put the whole list down!). Some are crazy blog-famous and I am positively sure you know who they are and read them yourself, but some are less well known, yet totally worth adding to your readers.
Like I said, that is not all, but will have to suffice for today. My eyes hurt from all of the linking. I will be sure to post more of my favorite blogs soon!
What are your must-read blogs? If you have your own blog, leave your blog link in the comments so we can check your stuff out! Here is to a beautiful blogging year, my friends!

Okay your new blog look?? Amazing.
