If you are a new visitor to Loving Pulse, welcome and thanks for stopping by!
And, hi to all you regular readers. I have appreciated your comments and support over the past few months.
A big thanks to Barbara at Blogging Without A Blog for choosing Loving Pulse as New Blog of the Week (NBOTW). I am, as the title of this post suggests, “Over The Moon”.
When I started posting in June, Barbara was the first to leave a comment and she has continued to visit and comment since then.
I had no idea how much time was involved when I first started this practice but thankfully, I have learned a lot from Blogging Without A Blog. Barbara shares helpful tips and information to make blogging easier for all of us. If you are a new blogger, spend some time reading through her archives.
I have connected with a huge number of other bloggers who read and comment on Barbara’s blog, and learned from many of them too.
At Loving Pulse I write about what moves me. Like the moon, we all have a dark side and a sunny side. I explore this through my own experience with the hopes of inspiring readers to do the same for themselves.
My most recent article entitled Stepping Out Of These Old Shoes is about facing, or not facing changes in life.
My upcoming article to be posted this Friday is entitled Free Spirit My Ass!
Feel free to visit my Favourite Posts page where I have showcased some of my favourites.
I will sign off now with a quote from Les Brown.
“Shoot for the moon and if you miss you will still be among the stars.”

Hi Davina,
I’ve come across after reading Barbara’s blog this morning. I’ve visited your site and read your work numerous times but I’ve only commented a few times. I subscribed to your blog a while ago and I’m pleased that I did. I really enjoy your writing.
Congratulations for gaining recognition from Barbara. It’s well deserved.
Dave.

H Davina,
What a neat post. The photo and quote are awesome. I’m patiently awaiting your “Free Spirit My Ass!” article. It sounds fascinating.

Hi Lance. Thanks Lance. You’re a star!
Hi Cath. Thanks. I’ll be seeing you at your blog soon. I just noticed you are showcasing some of your earlier posts with exerpts and photos. Like it! I have so much to catch up on.
Hi Dave. I remember you! You took over my comments section on My Turn to Be Seen
That was fun. Glad to hear you have subscribed.
Hi Stacey. Welcome to Loving Pulse. Hope you enjoy the next post. I’m looking forward to reading more from you too.
Hi Urban Panther. Thanks. I’m excited about Friday’s post too. It’s my first swearing title!!!
Hi Vered. Thanks to you too!
Hi Barbara. You are so welcome! I was moved by your words too, and how you spoke about Loving Pulse. The title of your post is exactly what my writing goal is about; “moving the spirit”. You really got it!

Hi Davina,
You have a wonderful blog. Something about your blog makes me slow down. It is like reading poetry.
Thank you for helping my crazy and over analytical mind take a break.
Thanks to Barbara for introducing me to yet another wonderful blog!

Congrats Davina! I’m glad to say I found your blog — or it found me, I forget which — before you made NBOTW.
I thought it was cool that your dad commented on NBOTW, too!

Hi Maya, and thank you! You know, I have to laugh at your comment because my blog makes your “over analytical mind take a break”, and I have SUCH an over analytical mind.
Hi Mike. Thanks so much. I was surprised to see my father’s comment as I’d not heard from him in a while. It was a nice surprise.

Congrats! We’ve crossed paths before, but apparently this is my first time on your blog. I’ll have to take a look around. I very much trust Barbara’s judgment.

Hi Davina, Congratulations. Even though I haven’t been actively commenting on your blog, just wanted to let you know that I follow your blog and enjoy it very much.

Hi Ari. I remember you! You left an amazing comment on my post “Does Misery Love Company?” You came over from Our Best Version that time. I was wondering why this comment went into moderation, but I see you are coming from Building A Natural Home. I like the sounds of that cob cottage that you and your wife built.
Hi Avani. Thank you. I’ve been following your blog too. I’m looking forward to getting caught up on your Anger Mangement series.

Hi Harmony. This is too funny! I was leaving a comment on your blog just now. Thanks for the rich treasures
Weird that your comment went into moderation though. You’ve been here before. Different address?

Davina,
I was sooooo touched that your Dad congratulated you on this honor — on Barbara’s BWAB. I can imagine his buttons popping off his shirt with pride! How very special that he did that! You must have a wonderful relationship with him — cherish it.

How fantastic Davina your moon is shining a bright light to be seen all the way over here in Australia! Congratulations – well deserved.
I look foward to your posts, you have a gift with your writing and I like that I never know what to expect… although this time I know the title of your next post! “See” you soon.
(BTW I left a comment over on BWAB too.)

Hi Robin. Thank you.
Hi Linda. Thanks for your kind words. Actually, due to life circumstances we don’t know one another as well or connect as a father and daughter might hope to. That made this even more special.
Hi MizFit. Wow, thank you! Enjoy the stillness.
Hi Leanne. Sorry your comment went into moderation. Thanks for the congrats and the kind words. “See” you soon!
