Warm & Fuzzy about the Blogosphere

What I do here on Reign really gives me a rush. Promoting girl-friendly products, discussing the issues that arise with raising daughters, shedding a little bit of light on the news and trends that impact our girls; these are topics that I'm passionate about and I absolutely love blogging about them. Why else would I spend all my time doing this for free?

But the best part about running this blog is the interaction I get to have with other bloggers, especially moms. These online spaces are not simply little diaries or musings about our lives. There's real power in these portals. And leave it to thousands of smart Mamas to leverage that power into a force that marketers and media alike have come to respect and even fear.

But most of all, blogging helps me realize that I'm never really alone. So many other women in the world are going through similar issues. Whether it's the trials of raising kids, suffering a loss of a loved one or juggling work, family and all the other crap that comes along with life; we all have similar experiences to share and much to learn from each other.

That became especially clear when I submitted this guest post to My Brown Baby. Not only was I able to purge myself of an issue that has haunted me for most of my life, but I got the wonderful surprise of learning that...I'm not the only one.

Sweet.
