When I first started Pause Life for a Moment last spring, it was supposed to be a short series of guest post leading up to Easter. Well, it didn’t end when Easter came. It has continued to be a part of my weekly line up of posts.
During the month of December and a few other times during the year instead of having guest posts, I wrote the posts myself.
I found that I really enjoyed sharing ways to pause life along with lessons I was learning during pauses. It occurred to me that I could change the series to being my posts with a link up for others to share that Pause Life for a Moment post. After a lot of prayers and pausing about making this change, I decided that it is a great idea, but not the right time to make that change.
The reason the series started in the first place was to share with you bloggers that you may not have read before.
I don’t tend to have specific blogging niche that I follow when reading blogs. The blogs I am drawn to cover a wide spectrum. There are a few things all the blogs have in common. They are that they are written by amazing women that love their families, love writing, and are passionate about what they write about.
If you have followed the series from the beginning, you know that there have only been a few Pause Life for a Moment posts are even about the same theme. Those that have been similar are different in that the teller brings to their post their own life experiences.
Due to my indecision about the direction of this series, a line up of guest posters hasn’t been set up for the new year. I will be e-mailing several people this week to see if they are interested in sharing in the coming weeks.
I know some of you are thinking I hope she contacts me. If that is what you are thinking, I would love to hear from you. I can’t 100% promise that you will be picked. Why? When I contact someone about guest posting, I have read their blog for a while. This has given me a sense of their writing style and way of approaching writing. If you let me know you would like to guest post, I will start to follow your writing for a short time and see if we would be a good fit.
This post is not my ordinary Pause Life for a Moment post but, I did want to pause and let you know where I think this series is going.
I always look forward to these posts, and enjoy meeting the new bloggers you feature. 🙂
I think this is a wonderful idea to not only feature blogs that you enjoy with us but for all of us to not only find a new blog we enjoy but how to different ways to pause life for a moment.
I personally love this series. I have loved every blogger that you’ve featured.
I will look forward to more of these posts. Thanks!

You put a lot of thought into this and so I’m sure you’re doing the right thing. I’ve really enjoyed the perspectives of all your guests.
I am impressed you put so much thought into where to head with this. I wouldn’t mind getting an email 🙂

Looking forward to seeing more guest posts this year. I’ve only started branching out to reading a variety of blogs this last year and I’m always open to new ones. Of course, my list keeps growing, which may be why my house looks the way it does! 😉
So glad you’re going to continue the series. It’s one of my faves. Looking forward to seeing who you bring on board in 2012!
