This is our twelfth Thought “Full” Thursday Link Party! THANK YOU to those who participated in our first eleven link parties over the last several weeks! We are looking forward to growing the link party and attracting new bloggers. We need YOUR help and participation to make this a great sharing opportunity for everyone involved! Please read on to learn more!!!!
A link party is a set time frame for current or aspiring bloggers to find new blogs and quality content. It is a great way to make new friends and find inspiration! It is also a fabulous way to promote your own blog and posts
Join us every Thursday at 8:00am (EST). This link party focuses on content. LINK UP YOUR FAVORITE POST from last week in this fun content-sharing partying!
I love the idea of blog hopping, but I love the idea of reading posts and quality content on new blogs I’ve never been to even more. Instead of simply linking up your blog button, you are now able to link up your favorite post you recently wrote. Have a delicious recipe to share, DIY tutorial, or heartfelt post? Share it with us! All hosts and co-hosts put up some unique and fun content from the past week. Make sure to check them out.
Last Week’s Featured Post
Last week’s featured post was from Cindy’s Life Updates with Frontotemporal Dementia and is titled I Don’t Just Like You, I Love You. This article received an overwhelming response and with good reason. So many people I know are being touched by different forms of dementia. Whether it is a parent, grandparent, or other relative, the effects are far reaching, and devastating. Check the article out here.
This article was particularly moving to me, as I have lost both my mother and mother in-law to Alzheimer’s and Dementia respectively, in the past four years. This is a disease that can strike the elderly – and the not-so-elderly. My mother’s 13-year battle began when she was just 57 years old. She lost the best years of her life, and we lost an incredibly important facet of our family. Since she would have celebrated her birthday on January 23rd, I have included a picture of her below.

P.S.- you may still link up your blog button and blog name, but it is encouraged to link up your favorite post instead. You will get more page views and interest if you do so!
Some of the most successful blog parties I have participate in focus on content rather than just exchanging follows. You never know who will become a loyal follower or pin that delicious new recipe you posted!
The BEST part of this link party? Each week there will be a WINNER! That’s right, each week we will choose one lucky blog to feature from the previous week’s party. We hope to grow this party to generate LOADS of traffic, so your blog will have the chance to be center stage for free.

I’m so sorry about your mom, too! She was so young and beautiful! Xo
Thank you – she was beautiful inside and out! As I’m sure you know, you slowly lose the person that you know when caring for someone with dementia, so I have often tried to think back about the “old” Mom. I’ll never stop wishing she was here.
Thank you so very much for featuring my blog post! It was written from the heart, and I’m glad that it has touched you & others. My prayers and warm thoughts go out to everyone who has had Alzheimer’s/ Dementia affect them or their loved one in their lifetime! It is such a sad and devastating disease!
Hi Natalie – my pleasure! Your post was so very meaningful….I cried as soon as I started reading it. Thank you for writing about your journey. It brings many warm memories 🙂
Thank you for hosting. I linked my Sweetheart Bark, Red Wings Hot Popcorn, and Red Velvet Banana Bread for that Valentine reminder. I hope you enjoy them! Have a happy week! #OverTheMoon #WWBlogHop #ThursdayFavoriteThings
Thanks, Marilyn – you are always so sweet – and I LOVE your recipes! I try to come link up as often as I can :). Thank you again for visiting #ThoughtFullThursday!
