Hello everyone. This is a bonus mini-post for all my loyal readers.
We are celebrating Blog Jog Day.
That’s right! Sunday, May 9th is the first ever Blog Jog Day, organized by an enterprising blogger who wants us to help spread the word about all the interesting blogs out there!
I am asking you to peruse what you like on my own site, and then jog over to
http://heidiwriter.wordpress.com.
Heidi M. Thomas is a writer, editor and writing teacher from the Pacific Northwest.
Please take a look at her blog. And when you’re finished visiting Heidi, drop into the blog she lists as the next stop for your jog. Think of it as an Open House for bloggers!
You can also visit the “Blog Jog Site” for more recommendations at: http://blogjogday.blogspot.com.
For those of you who are new to my site … welcome! I hope you will take a look at a few of the recent posts, and search others for topics that may interest you.
Thanks and happy discoveries,
Doreen.

Thanks, Yvonne. I hope you'll drop by again. It was indeed a terrific idea that Carol has come up. I hope it works to get each of us some new followers as well as introducing us to some interesting trailblazers!
Always nice to find fellow Pacific Northwest authors!

Thanks to everyone for dropping in and helping celebrate BJD with me! It was a resounding success in my opinion.
Deanna: I am from MB, Canada. It is Heidi (my blog link for the BJD) who is from the Pacific Northwest.
Miss V: Thanks for being my 100th follower! We're on a roll.
Gail: I'm on my way to your blog. Can't resist books & chocolate!
So if we blog jog, will we lose weight? No? Sigh. Didn't think so. It was worth asking. And you are so nice to talk about the next person in line after you. You have a lovely blog. I became a follower. Please come check my own out, will you? Roland
Thanks very much, Roland for joining the blog and for leaving a comment. I've really enjoyed BJD. It's brought many terrific new people to the blog. It will be nice to continue sharing ideas with you all.
I'm on my way to your blog right now! Thanks for the invitation.
Great blog, Doreen! Happy we connected. I Twitter-followed you back.
Hi Doreen. I'm so happy I discovered you. Your blog is great. I'll be back.
Thanks to newcomers, Julia and Joylene. It's great to see so many new faces here on the blog. "Blog Jog Day" certainly did work, despite the fact that it was held on Mother's Day and on a gorgeous Sunday (at least in my part of the world.)
I'll look forward to hearing more of your thoughts on past and future posts to this blog.
You had me at dark chocolate and fine red wine.
I think this blog jog is a great idea. Kind of like the old webrings. Jog on over to http://www.businesscardtobusiness.com/blog I've got a number of shoutouts on my posts right now but I'll post a blog jog today.
Right on, Colette! Will be lots more on chocolate & wine as time goes on. Am researching a book on chocolate & travel (see blog posts beginning in Oct/09 for details) and part 2 of the journey is set for Sept. Will be very tasty research!
Welcome to you, too, Reno! Have been over to your blog and left a comment. Thanks for dropping in here. Hope to hear from you again.
This is a genius idea for blogging! Seriously, you hit the top grade with this idea!

Hi Madeline and welcome to the blog!
I certainly can't take credit for the Blog Jog Day idea. That was the brainchild of Carol Denbow, a fellow author whose blog you can find at:

Doreen.
Strategy executed eloquently!☺
