Writing Is Good For Your Health

My Planner and Journal

I've always considered writing as just a form of expression and partly a hobby.  But whether you're a writer/blogger or simply someone who keeps private journals, I'm sure you have found out already about writing's therapeutic benefits.  

I've always been an introvert and so I mostly kept journals when I was much younger.  I don't easily open up to people, but I could easily open up my heart to pen and paper and just write away in total abandon, not thinking about anyone's opinion or judgment.  So in some ways, the journal is like a best friend who can keep your innermost thoughts safe...that is until your sibling finds your journal and starts to quote things from the entries.  Arrrggggh!

BC Bloggers Meme: Things That Make Me Happy

Would it be right to say that a happy person is also generally a healthier person? I'd like to think that way. After all, a positive attitude contributes to overall health and well-being. Personally, I find that simply thinking about the things that make me happy is enough to bring out that smile, to lift up my spirits and feel blessed. I guess, you'll agree with that. 

So, here are the things that make me HAPPY:

I Heart Good Health's New Home

I have packed up and decided to move to a new home.  Not literally though.  I'm referring to this site I call my home online.  It still looks the same.  I decided to retain everything else for now.  I'll get to the design part later on when I'm not busy with offline work.  So for now it's like moving to a new home with all your old stuff.    There are some loose ends that still need to be fixed because of the new URL (www.iheartgoodhealth.com).  This site is still in the transition stages so bear with it for a while.  

What got into me in the first place?  First it was the page ranking just last month.  I wasn't expecting to get a PR of 1 with just barely a two-month old blog back then.  I almost did a cart wheel over that hahaha!  I'm probably over reacting there but it was really unexpected so I was naturally raving over it and extremely grateful to all the site visitors who took the time to read, browse, and comment on this site. 

I was also inspired by a fellow writer and good friend from Online Writing Ideas.  Reading her posts and answers to all my queries further encouraged me to take the plunge and buy my own domain name.  So here I am, still figuring things out, learning the ropes, setting up some things but it's good to go.  Change is good, and learning new things is always exciting!

The Secret of BC Bloggers

 Shhh!, a photo by cscott2006 on Flickr.

I've recently come across this cool group, BC Bloggers. It perked up my interest, probably because of the word "secret" in the logo.  Who doesn't get curious with secrets?  I visited the site and liked what the secret is all about.  One thing I can say is it's a great channel to meet like-minded folks...bloggers and writers.

Wondering what BC bloggers is all about? I'm not going to blabber about it here on my blog and spoil the secret.  You have to discover it for yourself by clicking on the image below.  Besides, they can explain all about it much better.  See you there!
