My Friday Hit List
(bloggers to keep you inpsired and motivated)
I've discovered new bloggers this week that are all about fun and making their dreams come true. Young people, I love young people! Allow each of these people to motivate you and inspire you like they did me. Then do something fun and write about it on your blog and link back to me:)
1. The Mad to Live, blogger, is a girl with a mad to live to do list! Her blog is a must see if you are in a rut, slump or just looking to leap forward and have fun.
Lauren defines mad to live, "as a state of being & way of life that is filled with unbridled enthusiasm and fervent passion.
Naturally passionately curious to explore, learn, and try everything this wild world has to offer. Not just your average person, but an adventurer and creative whom likes to challenge themselves, start and finish projects, experience new places and people, and simply stated, live a kickass life."
2. Blog of Impossible Things Experiencing blogger burnout? Joel Runyon has a Fun Manifesto where and says, "as we build our online business we talk about branding, products, posting, a niche, a brand, a brand, a brand, a brand…boring!
He advises if you do want to build a brand differentiate and have fun! Joel spends his time doing impossible things and has something fun to write about. Always. Go over and see what this fun guy is doing today.
3. All of Us Revolution Bloggers Shannon and Kristen created "All of Us," to share their journey as they take off on a global adventure to start a socially-sustainable business.
"Imagine owning eight items of clothing. Just eight, functional, versatile pieces. But with those eight pieces, over 100 different looks could be created. Dressy. Casual. Everything in between. With style. Without khaki cargo zip-offs or two-toned “skorts.”
That’s their goal. To create the ideal wardrobe for women, looking to simplify their lives, reduce their footprint, and look damn good in the process."
Two girls. One idea. Life outside the box.
4. Blue Bicicletta Nicole loves making art—"it feels like riding my blue bicicletta down hills -fast- wind blowing my hair back. Hence the name of my blog and art shop."
I fell in love with Nicole's story last week when she was featured on Momentum Gathering. She felt stuck in her day job and through Julia Cameron's book, The Artist way, she found a little spark.
She states on Katie's Blog, "With the book as my little spark, I began making art every night. I started churning it out: paintings, collages, drawings, anything I could imagine. I stopped making excuses and started clearing more and more time to make things. While I was still railing against my job, I started to see a little window open for me.
"I am an artist — a maker of things. That is what my life is about."
I bought the print below to hang in my office, to remind me, like Nicole I can break out of my routine anytime.
How can you not be inspired by these bloggers? How can you not have hope for your own life and the world? I dare you to go and create some fun!

Nick,
I love discovering new blogs and people. I’m always looking for new friends and to be inspired. My four daughters inspire me, I think that’s why I relate so well to young people. I have a lot of practice. I always find hope for our world through them.

What great blogs–thanks for the links! Your post reminded me of the time I was trying to plan summer activities for my autistic son. I was going over options with his doctor and I dismissed one of them as being “just fun” as opposed to educational, therapeutic, etc. The doctor leaned forward and looked directly into my eyes and said slowly, “Fun is good!” I never forgot that!
