How My Blog Began
“My Angel’s Voice”….it’s a labor of love. It brings out the very best of me that comes out in my writing. I have always loved to write…poems…short stories…that sort of thing. But I never really knew what to do with any of that…so I put it on the back burner of my life. Then, last March 2019 I had mentioned to my husband how I really felt compelled to start writing again…and that I was considering starting a blog. He encouraged me to do just that…and “My Angel’s Voice” was born. You see…I truly feel that my Angel’s guided me to begin my writing…so on May 02, 2019..my blog went live….the rest is history.
Blogger Advice
- Never Give Up. No matter how discouraged you may get…you will always find a way to get through whatever is bogging you down. Believe me…I literally shut down my laptop for three weeks when I was “learning” how to build my blog. I was getting that frustrated. But..eventually, I regained my “want-to” and I persevered.
- Ask For Help. Help is all around you in the blogging world. My heart overflows with all of the kindness and support that I have and continue to receive from Bloggers that are from all over the world.

I didn’t know we were allowed to change the “award” graphic!!! I wondered about the dated look of it. And for male bloggers it’s so flower-y. Good for you to change it up!!! Wish I would have!
Thanks, Kim. I actually researched the different graphic designs on Pinterest and then chose mine. 🙂
Congratulations Brenda! Another award so well deserved! I also like how you changed the award graphic. Love your posts and writing style! You are a special lady who has touched my life in such a positive way! 💖
Ah, thank you, Denise. Your words truly touch my heart and my life as well. I am truly blessed.
Congratulations on the blogger recognition award! Your blogging advice is spot on! It can be really discouraging when others are posting on social media about their stats and how much money they are making and you are not making any more money but everyone has to start somewhere so never give up and you will reach your goals.
Thanks, Sarah. I really appreciate it. I have learned that patience when blogging is probably the hardest of all.
Congratulations. Thank you for all of your inspiration on a daily basis. You always make me smile.
Thank you so much, Jenny. It’s truly my pleasure.
