Every Tuesday, Juniper and/or Fae will pick a great blog post from our  friends and write a paragraph about it. We’ll  include a link to their post in our paragraph. We’re going to invite you to do the same – find a post that you’ve found that moves you (and it doesn’t have to be from today, it can be an older post) and share it here. We’ll have a centralized list of of recommended posts here, and a button that can link us together. The group can grow and grow, we don’t have to limit the amount of recommended posts…but it would be a way for us to find incredible things to read, and remarkable people to meet, recommended by our peers, without having to surf for hours. The goal is all about sharing interesting posts, and interesting people. I doesn’t have to be limited to ANY topic, religion or ideology. We can’t wait to read what you find!

Here’s Fae’s pick this week:

Silvermoone at The Goddess Within has written a blog post called The Truth About F-E-A-R, which really hit the nail on the head for me. Recently, I won a personalized gift basket from Magickal Enchantments, and in building something just for me, I was asked what I’d like to have help with. I responded, “I’m extremely analytical, and have been through enough cognitive therapy to tell you what is at the root of any problem I’m having and every emotional/psychological/mental battle I’ve fought: Fear. I run. I escape. It’s what’s built into my core, it’s the coping mechanism I’ve used to survive, and it’s what I need to stop. Although I work every day to evolve, it’s a bit of a two steps forward-one step back situation. I just find another way to run.” When I read Silvermoone’s post, I almost had to smile…when a subject like this repeatedly emerges for me, it’s usually a note from my psyche telling me it’s time to delve deeper. Her analytical nature touches upon aspects and insights I can not only relate to, but utilize in my own evolution.

I love the clarity and thoughtfulness and depth with which she writes, and wanted to share this with you. I hope you find it as insightful as I did!

So here’s what you do…if you’d like to read the post,  click through to The Goddess Within and read the article. If you’d like to leave comments for her, feel free!

If you have a friend whose post you want to share, here’s how you do it…(look at my post as an example if you have any questions…it’s easier than it looks:)

If you have any suggestions on streamlining my directions below, please let me know! Although it’s not difficult to do, it looks complex, even to me!

1. Write a paragraph or two about your friend’s post  in your blog. Include link to the post (not the main blog) you’re writing about so your friends can click through to it and read it themselves.

2. Name your post “TurnAround Tuesday – [and then the name of your friend's blog]“.  Look at the name of my post today for an example.

3. Copy and paste the code below at the bottom of the post you’ve just written. This code will put a button on the bottom of your post so the readers can join Turnaround Tuesday if they wish. Then publish your post!

4. After posting, come back here and fill out the Widget below the button with the following information:

Link Title: Name of your friends’ post (the post title, not the blog name).

Email Address: YOUR email address (it won’t show on the page, don’t worry).

Link URL:  Copy and paste the link to your Turn-Around Tuesday post, not your main website.

5. Hit the ‘Submit Link’ button.

That’s it!
