Written by Grace, More than a Pair of Chutes is a blog I thoroughly enjoy reading. As a mother of three, she loves small-scale farming including chickens she graciously shares many pictures of so I can enjoy them (since I’ve secretly wanted chickens for a long time). She is also an amazing cook/baker and shares some fantastic recipes on her blog.
Maria at Going Down Swinging has a strong influence in my life. Struggling with her own battles with chronic illness, she refuses to give in and continues to fight back. She has chosen to make healing and a positive attitude a way of life. Though we may not agree on all points, she is an inspiration to taking the best care of my body as I can!
Another blog I consider to be a huge motivator and encouragement when I’m struggling is Caf of Rellacafa. She chooses to use positive coping skills to deal with her life of pain and flares. I especially admire her determination and insistence to fight against being controlled by pain.
Though I know she can’t pass the award on right now, Mindy of Reflections is very deserving of this award. Her blog is an encouragement, but also tells about life how it really is – the bare, naked truth. She doesn’t sugar coat everything and this allows her to have incredible, encouraging insights thanks to her strong relationship with God.
Last (but certainly not least) I have to mention the blog that allows me to laugh at my own pain. Every Sunday, RSDiary posts a humorous look at life with CRPS. Between “imps of pain” and just plain silliness, her blog is always worth a laugh!
Thanks again to Chris Dean for the award!
